5 weeks pregnant and surgeon says I should consider not having this baby.

[Guest guest]

Hi all my names and Im new to this group. I was hoping someone,

anyone, could help me! Im 5 weeks pregnant and will be 1 yr post op

on May 8th. I spoke to my doctors office last week and the nurse said

that I will have to talk extra vitamins, be extra careful and will be

classified as high risk. Well I figured it will be fine. Today I got

a call from my doctors office and it was the receptionist calling to

say that the nurse spoke to the doctor ( my surgeon ) about my new

condition ( im pregnant...its not a condition ), and she was calling

cause the doctor asked her to call me and tell me that I should

consider not having this baby. They said that this baby will be born

with severe deformities and disabilities. I am so upset now, I just

keep crying...why would someone say those things! Thats just mean! Is

this true? Should a doctor be able to say that? Are there any

statistics that would show me the healthy to complication ratios? Im

sorry this is so long I just dont know what to do now. My husband and

I are very happy that im pregnant and I dont want to not have this

baby. Please help. Thank you
