Birth Injuries

[mylovesofmylife]

It was weird how my Dad warned me that my 2nd born-a boy would be born with the cord wrapped around his neck twice, in the days before my sons birth and that did happen, during the final pushing stages.

[mylovesofmylife]

Beautiful baby! Sorry about the birth injury. May your little baby be blessed with blessings throughout life. My 1st was born sick due to AROM/ARM during rapid NVD, but shes prefectly healthy. 2nd had cord wrapped around his neck twice while pushing his head out, midwife got me to stop pushing and midwife allowed his Daddy cut the cord quickly. He was healthy and discharged home with me 24 hours after birth. 3rd two midwives pulled her out of me, born healthy and biggest.

[NancyRazo10]

This brought me to tears because my six month old is laying next to me perfectly healthy and I wish ur baby didn't have to go through this. I'm so sorry.

[Salger12]

Everyone has some sort of defect from delivery. Asymmetries are noticeable in all of us because of how we are delivered. I have a deviated septum and my eyes aren't positioned the same

[Jemeraldx]

Poor little luv.x I'm so sorry 4 what happened to you he's such a beautifull little star.

[mama3183]

So sad... God bless you and your family.

[chitty8126]

heartbreaking to see him with all the wires

[13ace92]

you never even said what happen and you cant always blame the doctor

[BellasMommy08]

How is Carter now? My sister had a similar delivery this past April. They let her walk to the OR knowing the babies heart rate was dropping and the babies heart completely stopped. It took 15 mins of CPR to get my niece back. She spent over 2 weeks in the NICU and wasn't even suppose to make it. She has severe brain damage and we don't know what the outcome for her will be. She already has been diagnosed with hearing loss and has some cerebral palsy.

[evimd]

I'm sorry but even more newborn children die because there is no doctor around.

[evimd]

I'm very sorry for your tragedy.

[freddythecanine]

Boring and I don't know what happened.

[MrJaxNTate]

Oh my gosh, this poor little bee :( He is so super cutie though, such a little blessing :)

[kimers7685]

when the doctor was delivering my son via c-section he said he was doing an elective abortion and 'accidently' cut his head with the scalpel (sp?) i should have sued the pants off the hospital. the doc was a dick anyway.

[oh2dawhat]

I know exactly what these parents are going through, EXACTLY :( I had a Perfect pregnancy too I just don't wana talk about what happened to me & my baby but I'll make sure I get justice from the stupid hospital...negligence & careless nurse that's all it takes for a tragic thing like this to happen :( my heart goes out to this family and baby and all the victims and babies affected out there xoxoxox

What I Would Like To Say To Anyone With A Special Needs Child Is Please Don't Say Or Make Your Special Needs Child Feel Like A Burden Or Expense Give Them All The Love And Confidence You Can Because They Are Going To Need It

[iamaprincesssowhat]

Thank You Sierra For Sharing Your Story I Am A Adult Of Birth Injuries

Unfortunately In 1971 They Did Not Have The Technology They Do Today

My Birth Injury Was Brain Damage From Having Forceps Clamped To My Head To Long Causing A Lack Of Oxygen To My Brain And Blindness In My Right Eye From When The Dr Slipped And Poked Me In The Eye With The Forcep

[maisialee1984]

this is so very sad....my heart goes out to carter parents and all love ones around him....

[CassPetey]

We know what you went through because we went through the exact same thing when our son Xander was born. Through a lawyer investigation we discovered that medical malpractice caused our son to be born 12 hours later than he should have by Emergency C-section. He was not breathing for 5 minutes and suffered a fractured skull- brain bleeding and bruising and seven to nine seizures the day after he was born. He was transferred to a different hospital than I was- I SUFFERED through

[admoscato]

My child had the same thing happen. It is a emotional burden on our family. He is our fiirst child and he is 5 now. He is the light of my life. He needs a lot of help (OT,PT,SPT, and more) There is no money that can change what happent. You will always want to know what would he be like if it did not happen. Thank you for putting this up Carter's story needs to be told. You family is such a Blessing.

[oh2dawhat]

It's very emotionally sad for us too just pray everyday my son will be 100% alright & live completely normal life even though docs say the most awful things. If I absorb all the info the docs told us I'll fall sick (sometimes I do get sick & cry alot) but just have to pray. Sometimes I just want to scream coz the hospital did this to us...I know how u feel it's heartbreaking I never new a love for a baby was this powerful I feel what he feels sometimes it's magical. Ok God Bless :)

[admoscato]

It is ok to cry I cry sometimes too. Praying is such a good thing. Right now my son is playing cars and trucks. He is such a happy boy. It is our job to make sure this dose not happen again by taking it to court. This is the only way this will stop and other babies will be saved. I trusted the doc but now it is very hard to trust anyone. Be Blessed

[yolandeification]

Carter doesn't deserve this. May doors open and lights shine and everything nice......God bless!

[mom2lexrayne]

I pray that god gives you and your family the strength to get through each day. God bless you

[Winter077]

I'm really angry and sad about this...thanks for sharing your story. My next childbirth will go MY way, and the hospital staff can stick it!

The cord will not be cut until it stops pulsating.

[68liayn]

Of course you want answers but there are not always answers to why one baby is perfectly healthy & another isn't. "These tragedies can be prevented (8:50)" Actually, not always. Sometimes nothing can be attributed to a baby's outcome. It's known that the great majority of birth asphyxia (lack of oxygen) occurs antenatally before labour, w/o even knowing it. I hope that you can come to terms with his condition without necessarily blaming others, or yourself, for it. All the best to your family.

So very sorry. My prayers are with you.

[mombonnici]

Trying to make sense of why a terrible tradedy could happen to a young couple having their fist chid, I came to this site for answers because my nephew just had the terrible news that his beautiful baby boy LUCA , who suffered a similar birth experience, sadly will not make it.

[ruttybutt]

He is very beautiful. I have a 6 month old named Carter. God Is good and through him all is possible. Carter is blessed and will be blessing to you.

[lisababy99999]

my baby was the same at birth, yet the midwives left it 2 late 4 me to have a c section and i had 2 deliver her normally. She nearly died as a result of this. (she was in distress and swollowed her own meconium and also had a cord wrapped around her neck. her heart beat was very very weak as well. She, fortunately, pulled through her time in intensive care and had no long lasting affects. she had breathing difficulties at birth and the midwives failed 2 act promptly.

[Winter077]

See, even midwives make mistakes. Ignorance is the problem, not job title.

[ladyfrankee92]

Love carter and teach him and allow him to grow into a wonderful young man and your bitterness will fade away. it has to if you are going to give your son anykind of real life. dont count your curses, count your blessings. GOD IS GREAT!!!!

[christineegolf]

[NarutoMustDie12345]

what song is this

[denawhited]

i know what you are going threw my first child was born with a lack of oxygen and it was cause of the doctor i was in labor for 2 weeks and all they did was gave me med. to make me sleep and the baby sleep he weighted 9 lb 8 oz and they gave him 24 hours to live he was in a oxyzen tent for 4 days and feeding tube up his nose and an iv in his head he was in the hospital for six days now he is 7 and he has adhd one part of his brain is dead and ashburger disease

[computerjunkee]

aw! i'm so sorry! god bless him! give him my love!

[starsacrossthesky]

the umbilical cord most likely got itself around his neck, and prevented normal flow of oxygen to the brain.

this happened to me aswell, fortunately, the doctors were quick. i was left with some brain damage in the frontal lobes, which has developed into/caused "ADD/ADHD", but i consider myself very lucky to have walked away with only that.

i pray for carter and his family.

[JessesGirl0771]

this story is just like myself because of the idiot nurses i lost 1 part of 2 fingerrs and the bbone in my thumb is bend now i have no nails due to careless nurses so this is a big deal one day i may have to go into surgery for this

[computerjunkee]

ouch! i'm sorry! i hope you get better!

[starbabe58]

may god be with you

[MYMIA01]

what happened to him during birth? Did I miss that? god bless you and baby carter...

[PhishyFace]

And I've felt sorry for myself because I've been treated badly. Some babies never get a chance.

[dhosoralo]

how is he now?when he will get well plz send me one of his nice smile picture.i love u little angle............

[tmariebluesky]

My oldest son was born in 1995 & he suffered a birth injury because he was 2 big 2 pass through my vagina (9lbs 7oz) so instead of doing a c-section like I asked 4 in the first place the Dr tugged & pulled on my baby & broke his arm. Then he was folded in half & shoved out of me by a nurse violently pushing on my stomach & the Dr was pulling on my sons head neck & body. I am so glad that there wasn't more damage 2 my son. He stayed 24 in a oxygen tent & we were released the next day.

[LadyMiroku]

Look how cute that little guy is. Love your baby boy forever and protect him from any and every harmful thing. God bless you.

[foziebear66]

Your baby is such a beautiful, beautiful gift from above, and while i am angry at the injustice done to you and your family, i also see you as blessed as he is VERY special and cute... I wish you all the best for the long road ahead, it will be worth every day. xox

[packman46360]

I have to express my feelings to you and your family. I wish that things could be diffrent for you and Carter. I have made a video that might help, explain sommthings to you guys. This video is talking about Immediate Cord Clamping. You will see that it is talking about Autism, however, This subject is for more than that. The oxgenated blood that is in the cord is being stolen from our babies... Mine as well as yours. I am so sorry this happened to hm, but you will learn so much from him.:)

[justagirl166]

God bless you and Carter!!! My prayers are with you both, stay strong!!! xx

[GhostofBrianJones]

This is a very educational video for parents to be. I would

like to know what kind of birth injuries are there? Would

some be from the forceps that are used, if still used? Or due

to incompetency on the part of the medical team during

delivery? Maybe another video would explain further what

type of injuries so that future parents to be will be able

to see and understand. May God Bless You Always.

[Ladyshake123]

may god bless you

[freacls]

your baby is a darling i wish him well in life and i hope you enjoy him he is a little darling

[mrsclaurie]

I dont know what to say, WOW what a beautiful baby boy, Im not going to say I understand what your going through because I dont, My thoughts are with you, Be strong..

[lmatelski]

God Bless you and your family during this time of healing and progress. I have been told that when the brain is injured sleeping helps to heal it. Be patient, "HE" doesn't work in our time, only in his, and i am sure that God is looking out for your little man and even more with people praying for you. I'll be thinking about carter. God bless

[starriieyes]

WOW. God above all must be please to see two young people mature enough, to not blame HIM but to call out to Him and hold on to Him. What the enemy has meant for evil.... God will turn for good. Bless you with his strength, His mercy & His unending love. God's speed and God's healing.

[yskdl1998]

This is the reason I am a childbirth instructor with the Bradley Method (R). What this family says is so true. You need to be knowledgeable and proactive when you give birth. The best way to equip yourself is to take an out of hospital childbirth class so your instructor is free to expose what is going on in obstetrics without the fear of being fired. In my humble opinion Bradley is one of the most comprehensive methods there are.

[puffylamama]

Thats so sad. I feel so bad! I just wanted to say, SORRY.

[minxanator]

This is so sad. I am so sorry for. . .everything. Just remember, you are so increadibly lucky. He is a beautiful baby boy. I may you have endless luck and wish you well. God bless you and your family.

Tragic

[choxyluva]

I know this is probably one of the most difficult hurdles you have gone through in a long time, if not your life. As reproduction is our "responsibility of life", i've learned how incredibly difficult it is to feel to lose someone - especially your son or daughter. I'm no expert on this issue, but I really really hope things turn out for the better.

and this is very very touching. Not enough people really know about these cases.

I sincerely wish you the best; God bless you and your family.

[Peikko]

He is so beautiful. All the best for you and your family.

[tiffanybosko]

You have a beautiful baby boy.

[fishysims]

so sad

[beckyuk2001]

So,so sad but what a beatiful baby you have. Love him hold him and never let him go. God bless you all xx

[misseshaynie]

Please contact me, I know what you are going through. This is going to be one of the hardest things you will ever face. I will keep you and your son in my thoughts and prayers. My son also suffered from a birth injury 4-26 of this year. I would love to have someone to talk to about it. Much love-Amanda Haynie
