[QUOTE="Pookybear66, post: 207027, member: 5957"] Nancy-My thoughts have often turned to that question but then I realize that in my case I couldn't have done anything different and so therefore it was NOT my fault. My ds was born at 34wks. He was an emergency C-section because of a heart condition that they found during a routine checkup on me. His poor little heart was beating so fast it could've exploded. They rushed me (actually I walked because it was quicker) over to the hospital next door. I was in the hospital for a week trying to get his heart under control. They tried oral, and intravenous drugs to me and a shot in utero to him. His heart rate would go down but not STAY down. So finally they decided they had to deliver. They gave me the shot to develop his lungs and Monday morn that was that. His APGAR was extremely low. He was rushed to NICU and his heart stopped twice-once on purpose once not. So of course he had medications and breathing help and the works. He stayed in the NICU for 3 wks and actually went home before his due date. He had a relatively normal childhood after that. I do think the oxygen and help that he received may have contributed to his learning problems. But then again, I'm not sure he would be around to worry about that question had we not had the option of a great level 3 NICU very near us. So I am thankful and I will deal with what I have. A wonderful difficult child! by the way, my easy child was born 3 wks early. I had pre-eclampsia. She does not exhibit any problems other than having a difficult child for a brother! LOL! [/QUOTE]
