First, I just wanted to say
that I am sorry for all of you and your
families lost. I came upon this site when
I did a search of "how to avoid cord
accidents". I am 27 wks pregnant and I
have been consumed with fear of my baby
having a cord accident. So please excuse
me if I offend any1..I just didn't know
where else to look. After reading all of
the post, I see that all of your angels
were healthy and beautiful but nature took
its course. I believe there is a higher
power and that things are suppossed to
happen they way that they do but how do
you deal with that after losing a
child...I have 2 healthy beautiful
children and I had no problems with my
pregnacies..I never thought twice about
cord accidents when I was carrying
them..But I feel like this baby is my last
chance-I love this baby so much it scares
me. I dont sleep at night because I am
constantly checking the baby's movements.
I have become this paranoid person and its
difficult..I know its no where near the
sorrow that you all feel. Reading all of
your post made me cry but it also made me
see how deep and profound a mother's love
can and will always be..again i apologize
if i offended any1 this blog seems to be
for woman and families that have suffered
a lost..and i will continue to pray that
all of you heal and possibly have children
if that's what you wish..God bless you
all
The only thing I can tell you is to not
worry. If it happens it happens and there
is absolutely nothing that you can do
about it, or anything you can do to stop
it. If anything your best chance is to
monitor movements, and towards the end of
your pregnancy is when it is most common.
Because the baby is constantly moving
around, and getting into position that
they tangle themselves up. The only
advice that I can give is when you feel
like there is a decrease in movement to go
to the hospital right away. A baby can
survive after a certain amount of time if
there is a knot in the cord because they
will control their breathing and slow it
down. I went to the hospital a little to
late, because it was my first pregnancy
and I didn't know any better. How I see
it is if you go to the hospital once a
week witha false alarm, it's better safe
than sorry. I apreciate your post and I
thank you for your sympathy, It means a
lot coming from women who are pregnant and
can feel our pain, or coming from a woman
with the same circumstances, I also
apreciate you saying that you can not feel
the pain we go through believe it or not
that means a lot to me. I'm sick of
people saying I know how you feel, when
they really don't. So thank you!!!
