OBEM - 08/02

[hermionestranger]

No one else?

Actually sobbing my eyes out

But is the baby damamged?
Can't a birth like that leave a baby partially paralysed??

Hands up who's not crying? I will never forget the one minute - only ONE minute - my baby was away for me and didn't cry, he didn't even need resuscitation or NICU, was just shocked after Kiellands...

My heart goes out to anyone who has ever heard that silence, and obviously even more so for people who never get to hear that cry.

That was so scary. Thank God that little baby is safe.

Fucking hell that was brutal. This might not have been the best OBEM for Mr euro to watch.... (we are ttc and he thought he might as well know what he is letting himself in for). Poor woman.

Thank goodness. No idea how midwives do it.

poor lady feel so sorry for her ,is the babys arm broken?

DH has just been sat behind me clutching my shoulders. I didn't even have the benefit of a spinal for my SD, it was brutal and hideous.

Jesus.

This poor lady. That is exactly, to the last detail what happened with dd1. She is fine now, but watching this back really upsets me

17

Did they say what they named her, had to go get tissues

After watching that.
I can see why women who have been through it
are critical of my choice to have home births.
I dont regret my choices but I can understand why they would disagree with me.

Tmi but my bits were ok after lots of rotating etc, but my coccyx was buggered

Well its definitely interesting horrific watching it from that point of view rather than being the one going through it.

Im in tears!! My poor DD1 having that entrance to the world. DH said the petrified look on the staffs faces will haunt him forever. :(

I almost wish I hadn't watch it.

Stupid fucking cow "oh thats nothing...she's got a live baby"
That doesn't take away the trauma of the situation.

I think it depends if the baby has got stuck in the birth canal? Cs not ideal then?

Oh god they shouldn't show empty rooms with that music. I'm in bits, but can't help thinkingbim pleased about my section grateful,c after seeing that, was v traumatic.

I am not having forceps. Absolutely no way! I was lucky to have a nice quick delivery last time, but if it all goes wrong this time around I want a CS.

Trying to wipe my eyes here without DH knowing I'm blubbing!

Sorry was trying to skip to last pg and typed in wrong box damn iphone

don't think I was the only one repeating "breathe, baby, breathe baby"

Sorry, totally projecting my own experiences onto the situation. So many people have been disparaging about my having had 2 sections, that seeing what can go wrong proves my point.

DS1 was breech and beyond stuck and DS2 disengaged, was in serious distress and had the cord round his neck and still some people told me that I should have had "natural" births.

Thank GOD for modern medicine.

Poor Dawn and Baby Girl. What an awful birth, but so glad baby is ok.

Are forceps a cost saving measure? Is that why it's preferable to a c section? Honest question, it's just I wonder if that's why they get you to ask a few times for an epidural; cos it's cheaper to keep you on the gas and air?

i've been at similar births and that wait for the first cry seems like an age. can't imagine what it must be like for the poor parents.

me too MrsDV.

I never heard my baby cry, he was born 12 weeks premature, delivered into silence and rushed off to NICU whilst DH and I were in shock and I was being stitched up (EMCS). I think I have just let out all the worry I was feeling then. Horrible to watch. Worse to experience.
