OB had to cut the cord while DS body was still inside as the situation was becoming increasingly serious with the lack of oxygen, ongoing low heart rate and imminent threat of the cord snapping.

All the best OP on your soon-to-be new family member :-)

this happened to my bestie. her baby was stillborn at 29 weeks as the doctor didnt listen when she said bub wasnt moving properly. they left it 8 days to do ultrasound and bub had passsed away due to the cord being so tightly on top of itself. Sometimes doctors DO know best dont they. i understand what you are saying.

Hi Melanieplusthree,

Just wanted to wish you all the best for tomorrow.... I'm sure it will be the most joyous event!

What a lovely eloquent reply Melanieplusthreeplusone!

Wishing you all the best for tomorrow with bubs impending arrival. I know there must be some anxiety still, but how exciting as well. By this time tomorrow, he/she will be earthside

So best wishes for the birth tomorrow

Do let us know how you all go?
