questions about problems late term....

[Guest guest]

I know this is probably just bad timing, but I have had two people in

my life recently have issues with their babies. One baby had the

cord wrap around her neck in utero and was stillborn at 38 weeks.

The second was born 10 days late, but the doctor's say that there was

some trauma in utero and the baby was born with a Syndrome where the

skeleton didn't form completely or correctly, requiring a lot of

reconstructive surgery in the baby's future (baby still can't swallow

or suck and is in the hospital, 4 wks after birth).

My husband knows I am paranoid, this being my first baby, but are

problems like this common or am I just surrounded by really unlucky

people right now?

paranoid first timer,
