I'm so sorry, and also to those who shared their stories.

My cousin gave birth two days ago and the baby is on life support and unresponsive, it is so heartbreaking. She's in a hydrothermal cooling unit, I'm praying for a miracle tomorrow when she comes out. It's amazing that a baby can go from perfect to really bad in a matter of a minute (according the fetal monitors, anyway), and even an emergency section within minutes can be too late. I am 8 weeks away from finishing my nursing degree and this has really made me reconsider if I can do L&D or not (a passion for birth is what brought me to nursing school).

I was an OB nurse and that is just the worst. I am so sorry for you, the baby and the family.

Hug to all the OB nurses - This story touches too close to my heart. My son was minutes from being this baby. I had a complete placential abrution in labor - by miracles they where able to have him out in 5min from the time of his heart rate starting to fall - although he was resusitated at birth is is compleatly fine. Our hospital is normally a 30 prep time to c/s so the fact he was out in 5 is nothing short of having great nurses and midwives for detecting the problem and an OB in the next room that was willing to start the c/s before they even had me compleatly under (my belly cut was started before I was completely out - but I was incoherant because of shock and don't remember)
In an emergency all nurses deserve the utmost credit - weather the child lives or becomes an angel. Sometimes the clock of life just runs, out but in any case they still try and for that I am eternally gratfull!

The man said yes, and that his partner would hold him in his arms in the car on the drive back. It was one of the most touching moments, and I'm going to be forever grateful for their understanding.
...a thousand s.

RED OAK MAMA AND MATILDA-
Your stories made me cry. That is so touching that the nurse put the blanket on him, Red Oak. I would have been thinking the same. I am sitting at my cpu crying for you because that is soooooo touching.
I bet it is priceless for you. I hope it gives you a lot of peace
