[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had an emergency C-section. Early on in the induction we started losing his heartbeat. They did a spinal.

Was the decrease in heart rate due to the induction?[/quote]

Cord was wrapped around him. They expect the heart rate to go down when you're having a contraction and then go back up, and his didn't recover. We were only an hour into the induction and I was 0 cm dilated and wasn't feeling any contractions yet. The scariest part was that the doctor was very calm about telling me he wanted to do a c-section etc. and then what felt like 15 OR nurses came bursting into the room to take me to the OR. It was terrifying. [/quote]

10 -29% of babies present with nuchal cords at birth. There is no reason whatsoever to c-section bases on nuchal cord. I delivered 2 large babies with nuchal x3 vaginally with no drugs.

This is a great example of fear-based maternal medicine, though. [/quote]

But babies do die from nuchal cords. Mine did (much earlier in pregnancy, not during labor). And if you are an OB who’s had it happen, you are going to be super cautious. Because possibly unnecessary cs is better than whoops should’ve had a cs stillbirth. [/quote]
