Reply #7: It has to apply the other way around, of course. [View All]

Case in point: my daughter. She was going to come by normal delivery. All seemed right, but she seemed to have some difficulty coming out after the tip of her head showed.

The doctor, being highly skilled and experienced, immediately said, "She's stuck. Let's cut her out." And a C-section it became.

It turns out the umbilical chord was making TWO turns around her neck. Had the doctor hesitated for another minute or so, she could have sustained brain damage due to lack or oxygenation -- or died.

One of my neighbors has a girl the same age of my daughter, who wasn't so lucky. The poor child had her oxygen cut for a few seconds during birth for similar reasons. She's the sweetest girl and otherwise healthy, but at 5, already noticeably slower than her kindergarten classmates. :cry:

Who saved my daughter from the same fate? God? No, a HUMAN BEING did. An exceptional human being, hell-bent on saving lives, to which I will be eternally grateful. The merit is hers. ALL hers.

Here's do Dr. O. :toast: May all Ob Gyns be like her.
