Doctors couldn't \"unfuse\" the fetuses because one twin also had several other confounding problems: selective intrauterine growth restriction, a two-vessel umbilical cord, a marginal cord insertion, and, possibly, a parasitic triplet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ultimately, national anti-abortion politics--not medicine or her own choices--determined the outcome of Grabman's pregnancy. At every juncture, anti-abortion politics limited the care available to her, the doctors and hospitals willing to treat her, the tools doctors could use, and the words her doctors could say. Although she asked for aggressive treatment to save at least one baby, hospital ethics boards blocked all able doctors from helping her. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eChallenging Pregnancy\u003c\/i\u003e is about Grabman's harrowing pregnancy and the science and politics of maternal healthcare in the United States, where every person must self-advocate for the desired outcome of their own pregnancy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Genevieve Grabman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609388151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609388157\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Iowa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Genevieve Grabman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44053659123967,"sku":"9781609388157","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d9d304a3-74a1-4e4b-9e42-15db5454a06c.jpg?v=1685025531","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/challenging-pregnancy-genevieve-grabman-9781609388157","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
