| Spring 2004 | | Special Circumstances | Feature Story Halfway through her fourth pregnancy, Kim Bassett woke up at 2 a.m. and discovered she was spotting. Not much, but enough to startle her. A quick call to obstetrician Mary Beth Harman, MD, was reassuring, but Dr. Harman wanted to see her at 7:00 the next morning.
