What do i do? I really want to avoid putting another baby through weeks in the NICU on a ventilator and feeding tube. 😞💔

Ive made endless phone calls trying to get my doctors to talk to each other but they are playing phone tag because of the time difference. Ive tried advocating for what i think is best but Im not getting anywhere :( 

They want to take her out due to fetal growth restriction. They will do anything emergency c section any day if the umbilical cord gets worse but it’s fine right now. The baby just isn’t growing.

EDIT: I should probably preface by saying my doctor out of state is one of the best doctors in the country for my specific conditions. My OB knows less about my condition but a lot about babies and pregnancy. Additionally, I see a team of high risk medical professionals. I also see prenatal genetics. High risk suggests taking the baby out at 34 weeks because my OB has not provided nutrients. My OB wants to take the baby out at 36 weeks. My doctor who specializes in my condition is pushing very hard for nutrients (especially because a c section takes a lot of nutrients out and I WAS at blood transfusion levels after surgery and didn’t get a blood transfusion with my last baby) but is having a hard time being able to speak to my care team here. Not looking for medical advice (in all honesty medical advice wouldn’t change anything in this situation), but more so information, experience with similar situations, and who I should talk to (how to help doctors communicate with each other better).
