You are braver than most. That is one of those tricky medical situations, but it seems you were more interested in your child's life than yours which is what this all comes down to. In the end, your commitment to your child paid off and who knows... maybe your assertion is correct. Maybe there is no such thing as medical danger. Regardless this is one area where choice matters and the law needs to stay out of the way unless it protects any mom in this situation. I don't agree with the approach of your other four doctors, granted they might have thought they were helping you, but the right course of action is to inform moms in this situation and let them choose as you did.
