[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]'Nature does not care about you or your baby' - yep. I had a full-term neonatal loss (after a textbook first pregnancy, Bradley method classes, general crunchy outlook etc) I was not AMA at the time, was perfectly healthy, and was with midwives. Turned out my son had an undiagnosed cord issue. I now know several AMA moms who had stillbirths at 40+ weeks due to placental insufficiency. This stuff isn't just made up by mean medical people - there are real risks and the consequences are devastating.[/quote]

I'm sorry. I had a similar experience, except I was AMA (37). My daughter survived the initial cord accident but with severe brain damage, and she died shortly before her second birthday. I remember discussing the risks with my midwives when I went past my due date and finding some comfort in the fact that the risks were low, but someone's gotta be in that "less than 1%". You just never think it'll be you until it is. [/quote]

I am so sorry about your losses. Hugs!  INOVA Fairfax Antenatal Center diagnosed my cord issue during one of the scans and I was advised to have my DS via c-section. I am glad I did. After my DS was born, I am firm believer that [b]all AMAs should have a c-section to avoid complications for the baby[/b]. I could not imagine going through an induction or a natural birth at 40--just too many risks. . Many of my AMA friends went the natural way, but ended up with late night emergency c-sections and horrible recoveries.

Wait, what???   :shock:

Also, I understand the issue with aging placenta, but is there some relation between cord issues and AMA, as well?  [/quote]
