So here's my birth story (what counts the most anyways). Everytime I would have a contraction Vivien's heart rate would drop. As I was pushing and her head came out they discovered her umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck and they thought that was the reason her heart rate had been dropping. I had decided, for whatever reason, to open my eyes and look at her head and she was so purple that she looked black (all i could think to myself was 'I didn't have sex with a black man!'). They found out that the umbilical cord around her neck was not the reason, but that it was what they call a 'true knot' which is uncommon itself but even more uncommon for the baby to be born alive. They have a very small percent chance of living and most of them that live are because they are born via c-section. They told me that if I hadn't gotten her out with the last push that I did, she would of been a still born. They also told me she is the first one to be born alive in muscatine vaginally. My little miracle baby. (:
@teluv_myheart31, I really do think so! I belive she lived to help my family through the hard times to come because my uncle passed away almost 2 months ago now. so glad he got to meet her!
That is so crazy... I'm so glad she's okay. Definitely had an angel watching over you guys:)
its from long umbilical cords and the baby doing flips. the cord was so long when it all came out! I was running on 2 hours of sleep when I had her and once she was born the ob called in a bunch of nurses and doctors to take pictures of the knot for practice and told them 'you'll never see this again' @leshea
crazy how the body does things like this like how does a knot like that even happen
thank you @mylittleprincess. and yes it is @leshea she came out that same color!
that's an amazing story congrats is that the knot? that's the most dark purple cord I've ever seen!
Wow that is amazing. I'm so happy for you and your baby!
thank you @ckatx3
