[QUOTE="30 and searching, post: 229504, member: 6367"] My oldest was 2 weeks overdue, I had to be induced 3 times to go into labor. Long story short, the cord was wrapped around his neck when he came out... doctor told me to stop pushing. Here's the thing... I was pushing for 2 hours! I have no way of knowing exactly how oxygen deprived he was, but I do know his first couple apgars were low. It was a difficult labor and delivery, he was 9 pounds 2 ounces... and in my opinion 2 weeks was too long. The hospital I had him at, was not equipped to deal with- complications... they would not due epideral because the nurse looked at me expressionless, and said, "We don't do epiderals here." A small hospital... doubt they had an anestheisialogist. Now I'm just getting mad thinking about it, and rambling. I am mad at myself for letting my mom talk me into this hospital cuz it was closer. This place was shut down in the mid- late 90's. I feel if I went to a better hospital, had a better doctor, this may have all been handled better, and they probably would have done a C- section. I guess this brought up some memories for me. My 3- year old was a planned c- section... no birth complications... perfect apgar test score. still ramblin... sorry. Basically I do feel the oxygen deprivation my 14- year old had at birth, is a big reason he has been diagnosed with- severe autism and mental retardation. [/QUOTE]
