[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP.  I am caucasian. We are sure about the baby’s gestational age because we did IVF.  I had a number of complications during pregnancy - no gestational diabetes, but I had vasa previa (which resolved), baby was diagnosed at a late stage with asymmetric IUGR, and a velamentous cord insertion.  We decided to induce at between 38-39 weeks and baby arrived 38 weeks 2 days.

Regarding the incident today - he was about to be released from the nursery and was having a last feeding.  When he was being burped (so not eating), his heart rate dropped to something in the 60s, and his oxygen levels fell.  He self-recovered without intervention.  I was told he would be monitored for another 48 hours but it’s so scary and [b]I worry what might happen when he comes home.[/b] [/quote]

Yes, you need to ask about that. I'm the PP with the 32 week preemie. DH and I were given a course of neonatal CPR before our baby left the hospital, which thankfully we did not use. [/quote]
