Due with 2nd baby in 3 weeks, thank you so much for all the knowledge! I was induced for first baby and it was a very hard experience because I didn’t know how to advocate for myself. I feel so much more prepared now.
Me: *not even in a relationship, probably unable to get pregnant, but watching every video of Sarah's because it's so interesting and she seems like a wonderful nurse.*
Xoxo
This has been something giving me a little anxiety as I get closer to due date because of a friend who did lose her baby due to this. This video did help ease my mind, thank you!
Thank you for sharing this in a calm and comforting way❤️ My son was born with a nuchal cord in May and I didn't find out for several months- it freaked me out and I was so worried he might have problems. Now after watching this video I have complete peace about it ❤️ Keep up the good work Sarah! I LOVE your videos!
I had my boy a month back via emergency c-section. He had 2 loops of the cord around his neck and during the process of vaginal birth, his heart was dropping and hence c-section. Upon delivery, the doctor said he had 3 loops. Thankfully he is a healthy and happy baby 😊
Im so glad you made a video about this! This was one of my concerns being a FTM! Love watching your videos!
I started to feel my first baby's movements at around 17 weeks of pregnancy in 2019 & thinking "Dangggg this baby is so active!". Now with my baby number 2, I have an anterior placenta & was told I probably wont feel as much of strong movements like a normal baby due to the placenta position. But guess what, I can feel this second baby even earlier & wayyy more active than her sister even with an AUS. Pregnancy really is unpredictable guys. Just hope I can get a successful VBAC in 2 weeks from now. Please pray for me! 🧡🧡🧡
Hope it was a successful Vbac. Please share how it went. Hoping to have a successful second Vbac (baby#3) myself
That's how my sister died before I was born. My mom was at 39 weeks. She felt something weird, went in for a scan in the morning but it was too late. She had to give birth to a dead baby. Horrible. I don't know how anyone would be able to cope with something like this.
My little sister also died this way. 😢 My mom was also 39 weeks. It was a very dark time for my family.
I love watching your videos they are very helpful and answer all my doubts that I could have. God bless you and all you do.
it is hard when you hear other parents who unfortunately had C-sections or stillborn babies positively say the reasoning was 100% due to a nuchal cord. sometimes i feel providers just want to give an answer to these complications as it sounds better to the parent than not having a definite answer as to why. you summed this up perfectly!!
I had my first baby about seven months ago he did have the cord around his neck very tightly! He was completely blue when he came out the doctor did what she said clamping closest to baby and closest to me and then cut it off his neck! My nurse my doctors were very calm and I would still say I had an amazing birth experience thanks to great nurses and doctors!
I'm watching this both happy to hear you explain,yet with tears in my eyes. When my son who is now 15 was in my womb, the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck too tight. My husband was in the hospital with me for observation. One minute we were laughing and talking. The next minute 3 nurses and a Dr came running into the room. I didn't feel anything and they never told us what was wrong. As a result my son was born as a Special Needs Baby. He is borderline Developmentally Delayed,ADD,stutters,is in the Specialty Population and will always have to live with help. I sometimes find myself blaming myself but I had no idea this would be his outcome. To see my son,noone would ever think anything was wrong with him other then he's very quiet. My husband and I are always trying to find ways of helping our son to feel like he belongs in this world. To us he is PERFECT but to the outside world including family that don't understand him is heartbreaking. We talk to our son,show him videos of babies with the umbilical cord wrapped around their neck. We explain to him about oxygen loss, and what it can do to you. I know he doesn't quite understand what were telling him but we don't want him to feel like he's no different then anyone else.
hi! im 13 years old and i had the cord around my neck too! now i got tested for adhd and autism and i think i have more problems because of how i was born
I had my first with a neck tied, lead me to having a C-section, my second with a knot in the umbilical cord, but I was so far with the contractions and 6cm open that we risked it for a vaginal birth, and my 3rd child was vaginal too. I was very happy not to go thru the C-section again but I know doctors do them to the safety of mom and baby. Thank you for your videos very informative ❤️☺️
My youngest was double footling breech and a double nuchal. Thankfully I had a c section at 37 weeks due to some blood pressure issues (no other problems). I had wanted a vbac but felt at ease going in for a repeat. I just had a feeling it was what I needed. So glad I did.
My cord was wrapped 7x very tight...sitting here thinking how am I even alive?
I was afraid to watch this because of the thumbnail bit I am soso happy I did! Much relief!
I have had two babies, both born with nucal cord, both super active during pregnancy! Firstborn nucal cord was reduced when I delivered his head. My second was a bit more tight nucal cord and the dr was unable to reduce it so I fully delivered my baby then she got to cord off. Both babies are perfect!
My fist son had the cord wrapped around his neck and my second son has a true knot in his! When I delivered him the dr was like wow this can be so dangerous and my baby was totally fine thankfully!!
This is definitely not comforting. This is exactly how I lost my daughter because the doctors/nurses did not think it was serious enough and did not take me for a c-section. My daughter was stillborn with a Nuchal cord x2
Unrelated to this video, but this reminded me of it. Can you talk about nuchal hands? My second baby was born with his hand covering his face. Pushing was a bit more difficult than with my first baby and he didn’t slide right out once his head was out, I had to keep pushing to get his shoulders out, but no real complications and I didn’t have any interventions. After reading about nuchal hands, it seems like most of the time it leads to problems. Is that an exaggeration or is it usually a bigger concern? Also, could that be the reason that my contractions never became regular during my 5 hour labor?
So nice enjoyed watching always stay connected.
Have a good day.💝
I just had my baby at the end of February. She had a double nuchal cord. Luckily it never caused any problems with her heart rate during labor and delivery and she was totally fine! The umbilical cord was really long though.
Exact same situation!! My husband said our baby’s cord was at least 2-3 ft long after being cut!
we have a similar problem but they are scaring us that we should go for ceaser how did you overcome it?
My baby was born 4 days ago. He has the cord wrapped around his next 2 times 🥺. It was so so scary.
I had my second baby (and second induction) a few weeks ago. I was given cervidil but was only able to keep it in for an hour due to contractions picking up so aggressively that my sons heart rate was dropping. I was given a shot in my arm to slow contractions (medicine started with a T) but I’m curious, if we had been rushed to the OR for a cesarean birth, would the Dr have been able to operate while my uterus was contracting like crazy? Do they have to slow/stop contractions before starting the procedure?
In the end, the medicine to slow things down worked, I was able to get an epidural and proceeded through labor without issue (didn’t need Pitocin to progress) and I had him right at 12 hours into the induction. We were induced due to severe IUGR just before 37 weeks but he’s healthy and perfect ❤️
I’ve had 4 babies and 1 had the cord around his neck. He was an active baby!
Can you talk about short umbilical cord? A cousin of mine had a C-section and that the doctor said that was the reason for it. (And the heart of the baby was “low” or “dropping”)
My boy was born with the cord so tight around his neck,his head was born and what partner said was his head was black, when the cord was removed it took what felt like forever for him too cry, he was left with little blood shock eyes & a very swollen head, the rest off his body was a lovely healthy pink colour..his who head face was all tiny broken blood vessels for a few weeks, the nurses told us that someone was looking over him, my son is now 8 years old & is being assessed for ADD and learning difficulties at school, although we are so thankful we actually have him here today with us
How long your baby didnt cried after birth???
Can you do one on placenta previa
My sister was born with the cord around the neck. According to my mom, it was wrapped three times. She was 4lb and some change at full term.
My first baby was so active, especially at night. When I was in labor the baby’s heart rate kept dropping during contractions, the nurse would run into the room but never told us anything. Till the very end they had the nicu run in and doctor in seconds. I pushed and pushed and but was so tired. The doctor did say I have to get this baby out soon or there was risk of c-section. Finally he was out! Everything was fine after examination. But my husband did say he say the doctor unwrap the cord. At the end when he was cleaned up the doctor told us she had never seen a baby with the cord wrapped 4 times ! Now pregnant with #2 and now I know there is just nothing to be done so no point in worrying.
Is there any risk of having cord wrapped around the neck in utero? Especially if it’s wrapped twice?
Please talk about cholestasis of pregnancy. And induction because of it.
My guy was soooo active (like, a little gymnast in there lol) and had a very tight double nuchal. He failed his nst at the office and I had huge decels at the beginning of induction. Had a stat section under general. He was also IUGR so not sure if that had anything to do with it or not.
My son was born with the cord around his neck and body and a knot in it. As he was descending they lost his heartbeat on the monitor and had to put a tracer in his head at the last moment. I almost had a C-section because they couldn’t get his heartbeat as I was 10cm and they said it’s because the cord around his neck was being compressed. They gave me 10 minutes to get him out and thankfully I was able to push him out in that timeframe because I didn’t have an epidural and really didn’t want to be put under.
A lady in my due date group just lost her baby because the cord was wrapped around his neck 4 times. She went in for decreased movement the morning she was actually supposed to be induced later that evening, and they said he had passed when they checked him 😰 that's one of my biggest fears.
My first and third were SO active and they both had cord around their neck. First one, I was pushing for 3 hours and baby's heart rate dropped and they took her our with forceps. She is a healthy almost 5 year old. Third one who was born in January had cord around his neck wrapped twice and he was flipping in there a lot! The cord was also around his shoulder and legs!!!! But after the midwife broke my water he was born in 3 minutes! No issues he is healthy and growing perfectly. I had an amazing midwife who had to take the baby out completely and then unwrapped him😄
My 2nd one was so chill and relaxed in there, so no cord around his neck👍
Btw, your videos helped me a lot to have a smooth amazing labor 2 months ago! Thank you ❤
I lost my daughter at 39 weeks due to 3x nuchal cord, I suddenly felt less movement one morning when she was normal crazy active in there. I could always feel her wiggling around day and night since about 14 weeks
Would also like to add that I went in 5 times the week prior telling my doctor that she was moving less and she told me exactly what you are, she could be here right now if doctors would listen and take the mothers concerns more seriously and not brush it off and tell you there’s nothing they can do
Thank you for sharing your story and I’m so terribly sorry. I’ve been obsessing over this topic and brought it up at my last appointment. My doctor didn’t seem at all concerned even though I’m 33 weeks and have only had one ultrasound. It’s scary the lack of control one can feel and the inability to properly advocate for your baby. Can one simply demand a c-section based on intuition?! I really hope you’re doing well in light of what you’ve been through ❤️
I'm so so so sorry for you loss!!! I lost twins due to doctors/nurses not taking me seriously. Thankfully I later had an amazing doctor who took every tiny complaint I had very seriously so when my daughter had decreased movement I called he told me you be here in 30min or less did nst test then biophysical ultrasound revealed she was not moving or practicing breathing or swallowing and her bladder was full she basically completly failed the test other than amniotic fluid was okish i was 32+6 did a c-section which revealed my placenta had gotten old early he said it looked like i had gone over due. I hope if you decide to become pregnant again you can find the same type of caring loving and concerned ob as I have :)
I’m very sorry about your loss. I also lost my son at 25 weeks. He came out with the cord around his neck. It seemed that I was losing fluid and did not know. He showed signs of growth restrictions and finally gave up the struggle.
I hope more can be done to help people in these situations.
@@reshanadefreitas4731 I’m so sorry for your loss as well🤍
Sorry if this is off-topic I'm a 35 yo male over the years I'm experiencing memory loss and possibly issues with comprehension I always had issues comprehending details growing up now it may get worse my question is I was born April 9 1987 but was supposed to be born April 1 it was determined by a doctor to do an emergency c section which they discovered the cord around my neck is there any chance I may have braindamage from this event. I realize it might be a silly question call it simple curiosity great videos keep up the good work.
How long can it really affect after it starts showing in the monitor that the oxygen levels are going down during labor that it can cause brain damage?
Could this be caused by the water being broken to early? My first baby was born with the cord twice around the neck. I was induced at 41 weeks. I was under the impression that my babies heart rate dropped, leading to internal monitoring. Also the doctor started to have me push every other contraction. Also we couldn’t have delayed cord clamping because they had to remove the cord quickly and took him to the warmer instead of skin to skin right away. He is perfectly healthy and only had to be away from me for a few minutes.
No prob not ♥️
I am at 32+2w and my baby is restless, he’s messing with my ribs already and I can’t wait he comes out to have some relief 😂
I loss my little girl because of the cord around her neck.
I'm 36 and in the 80's I was born with said cord around my neck. Might have been a reason for my autism
TW: We almost lost my little sister when she was born because her cord was wrapped around her neck 4 times. Her cord had to be cut so she could come out. Got to my mom’s room with my grandparents right as my sister was coming out. I actually saw them put her on my mom, my mom yell at them for not immediately taking her to work on her because she was completely gray, and then noticed me and started screaming to shut the door so I couldn’t see because they didn’t know if my sister was gonna make it. I saw all of that because of all the nurses and doctors frantically running in and not shutting the door or pulling the curtain. As an adult who’s had a baby now I realize that was a big sign for how serious things were. I remember hearing my mom yell “somebody slap her! PLEASE!!” over and over. Then a nicu doctor slipped by me into the room and smacked her butt and my sister finally took a breath. My first time meeting my sister was when a nurse came running out with her in a loose, messy, swaddle, no hat, and RAN to the nicu. She paused briefly to show me my purple sister and said “This is your sister!” I’ve been told that’s a big sign for how concerned they were. They don’t run with babies instead of wheeling them in the bassinet unless it’s an emergency. Really crazy. My pregnancy with my son ended up being almost identical to my mom’s pregnancy with my sister. Even down to my due date being 3 days after my sister’s, being induced for preeclampsia at 39 weeks, and cords being wrapped 4 times. My son was born by C-section because he was posterior and wasn’t moving down. My mom apparently started begging my ob in the hallway to consider C-section pretty early because his heart rate was doing the same pattern my sister’s did during contractions and she was panicking. Coincidentally he ended up being wrapped 4 times too, but instead of solely around his neck he was tangled in it with one loop around his neck. Apparently uncommon 😅 Every nurse who came in our room for the 3 days after birth said we were the topic of discussion at the nurses station and they were all in shock😂 Really glad I’ll never know if it would have caused issues during a vaginal birth.
Really scary stuff and so awful that some people don’t get happy ending, BUT my sister’s story is positive. My sister didn’t have any issues from how long she went without breathing and she’s now almost 21. Graduated high school a year and a half early and graduated cosmetology school a month after she originally would have graduated high school (before she even turned 18). Currently taking advantage of being young and recently started working at Disney world and already making waves and getting opportunities newbies don’t usually get. Traumatic entry into the world, but she’s kicking butt and taking names now😊
My first had his cord around his neck. Still had a safe, healthy vaginal birth.
My mom was crying hard when she knew I was very littke
No bloopers/outtakes 😔😔
Once you have a nuchal cord most women go for C-section 😢
