Good morning all,

I'm 10 weeks pregnant and trying to gather some information in case 
this, my 3rd baby, gets it's daddy's blood type like the first two did 
and we have jaundice issues.

I am planning another home birth but do not, under any circumstances, 
want to go to the hospital.  I was treated very, very poorly after 
both births (#1 was at the hospital and we stayed 6 horrible days 
postpartum; #2 was at home but we were admitted on day 2 and released 
on day 5) and will assume any amount of personal debt to avoid being 
admitted.

If anyone knows of agencies or providers of rental units for bili-
light units (blanket is good), I'd appreciate hearing about them.  I 
live in Orange County, NY but will arrange for transport if there is 
distance involved.  

We are of course hoping this baby gets mamma's blood instead and there 
is no issue at all...but after my last two horrific experiences (and 
my OB calling me "crazy" twice yesterday at my 10-week visit, once for 
planning another homebirth and once for continuing to breastfeed my 
son, now 2 years and 8 months old), I just want to have some resources 
on hand so I can handle the care of my newborn myself.

I will have no problem getting my pediatrician on board if a 
prescription is required.

Thanks for any help you can offer,
Diana in NY
