Hi
My sister in law and brother have had a child born this morning - second child daughter.
First child son was a traumatic birth emergency c section we did all push for them to have this time a planned c section but consultants convinced them to have normal birth which again resulted in emergency c section.
We are all distraught and I just want to help to help ensure that my brother is pushing the team to do the right things now to minimise any potential brain damage.
I have picked up a few things e.g. Apgar whilst reading other posts and hers was 7 then 9 then 10 after 10 minutes
She did suffer some oxygen loss and they will not give her cooling therapy as they have to cut through the belly button to do that and she is not bad enough to have that done.
Mother is distraught but getting better and can't really talk or do anything as she is fatigued and shattered.
Does Anyone know if that's a bare faced lie and if she can have cooling therapy?
I'm in tears thinking about the little one and just want to help her young innocent children babies shouldn't suffer.
Thanks
Josef
