last Tues 11th dec I gave birth to a beautiful little girl, she weighed 7lb 2oz and had her by elective section at 38+2 weeks. It took them nearly half an hour to get LO out and after a couple of hours she was a little purple, after a couple of hours her colour hadnt improved so she was taken to intensive care in the special care baby unit and placed on a CPAP machine to aid her breathing as she was only taking in 30% of oxygen for herself.
Ironically, the day after it was all over the papers about this kind of problem linked to CS births, although at no point was it discussed with me prior to the birth as being a possible risk.
Thankfully she is out of danger now, has just come off the machines, and is making good progress, but still remains in the special care unit.
Has anybody else had a similar experience?
