Carolyn Faris of Las Vegas is now seven months pregnant. She had been looking for a new doctor since November until she found one after experiencing complications. Ruth Valentine, who is six months pregnant, has called more than 50 doctors and still can't find a Las Vegas physician to deliver her baby in April. Despite legislation designed to keep doctors in town, some pregnant women still are having trouble finding doctors.
