Quote: I have never heard of them cutting the cord like that. Was it wrapped around his neck, maybe?? Even then, never heard of them cutting it in utero.

My #1 was similar in the excessive amniotic fluid. My water broke a few days shy of 4 wks early, not in labor, and when they induced, he did not want to come out! 4 hours of pushing, about 10 different medical staff in the room waiting for an emergency. I understood they were contemplating c-sec, so I started pushing with or without contractions, which I couldn't seem to time. Contraction would stat and I couldn't even take a breath to push. Figured I'd push until I passed out, then I wouldn't care about surgery. So FINALLY he came out... and was fine. No meconium (poop) in the amniotic fluid, 9 out of 10 on the APGAR score. Adrenaline level in the room dropped quickly, some comments of disbelief. He didn't need any help. He was screaming just fine. Hubs went over and spoke to him and he stopped crying soon as he heard his voice. Jaundice problems the first 2 weeks. I did everything I could to keep him out of the hospital, much to the dismay of the doctors. Had to have his blood tested every other day for a week. Bliliruben count got really high, but was still one point lower than what she said was cut off for him to go into hospital. I had to take him back next morning, and if it was not lower, he would be admitted. I WON!

Very sensitive baby, lots of screaming/crying, hard to comfort, sensitive to noises and sights. No eye contact.

I was worried, but pediatrician said he was "neurologiacally intact." There were irregularities in the brain found when I was 5½ months along. Had to do the amnio (talk of lethal conditions and much crying) and went to the university med center for MRI on baby in my tummy. Dr, there was pretty reassuring, which was good because we had decided he was already here, so no need to rush amnio in case we wanted to abort by the 6 month deadline! (I almost walked out of that place because I didn't even want to consider the possibility.) So you can see my #1 has been my special guy from before he was born. At 2 months they looked at his brain through the soft spot on his head and said there was nothing but normal that could be seen.

I eat lots of greens because of it. My mamma knows how to take care of her babies. She's got secret recipes she makes for our ailments. God was good to me giving me her.
