Don't even get me going!

Of course they don't...I had a section with DS1 (well, with ALL of them, but anyhow) when he came out they gasped the cord was around his neck "THREE times and NO WONDER he COULDN'T BE BORN, he was STRANGELING HIMSELF!" Sorry, I know I really shouldn't - but I expect more sence from an OB.

my 3rd baby had an apgar of 2 and no respiratory effort. She was intubated and required resuscitation. Her heartrate was 70 or 80 at delivery. However, she did have meconium staining (and had aspirated) so we knew what the problem was. Sorry your DD had problems. :-(
