Cords around the neck

Bahamamama4828

"So many women are told the baby didn’t breathe or wasn’t pink because of the umbilical cord being around the neck. It is a lie. We don’t see this at unmedicated home births and I have attended births where the cord was tight and up to five times around the neck."

Mybabys coes was wrapped under her armpit & around the neck. She's.got hardly any.movement inthat arm. I also asked for an epidural because I was induced & in more pain thanmy first. Idiot anesthesiologist gave me tooo much meds & I was numb & passing out during the birth. But she scored. A 9/9 apgar. & is healthy otherwise.

Yay! Happy 37 weeks to us! I'm planning a water birth too. :-) It seems so much calmer and more soothing ...
