[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I’d be alive but I don’t think my kids would be. I never went into labor. I went to 41 weeks 5 days with my first with no contractions. When I delivered (after days if pitocin) my placenta was clearly going downhill. My other two kids were also post 41 weeks, no contractions. Sadly I had a friend who delivered a green/purple baby at 43 weeks. She’d never gone into labor and her baby died. Pretty sure my babies would have died too.

Also, my 2nd and 3rd babies were shoulder dystocias. They broke the one babies clavicle to get him out. I think most midwives could have done the same back in the day though. [/quote]

What kind of doctor let's someone to go 43 weeks??? How horrible for your friend[/quote]

Yeah. I read that and was wondering if she sued.  I’ve never heard of a doctor going past 42 weeks and not past 40 weeks of advanced maternal age.  [/quote]

Pp here. Believe me, she regrets it, but she had a midwife. No signs of any issues whatsoever. They did try to induce labor at 42 w 5days but the labor was several days long.

Apparently her baby had the cord around it’s neck and every time it tried to descend, the cord choked it so it didn’t descend or drop. Her baby was after my 3 and I wondered if that was my kids problem too and perhaps why my labor never started? Very scary and sad.  [/quote]
I read a ratemd review of a crappy OB I had, someone claimed the OB did not order BPP scans after the due date and as a result her baby was stillborn. Another crappy OB I had has a mark on his official record for blowing off an abnormal heart rhythm and killing that baby. I strongly doubt either of those dead babies are in the infant mortality statistics. Seems to be sweeped under the rug. Both OBs are still practicing, both are high risk OBs [/quote]
