User ID: 1220977 United States 03/30/2011 11:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | WWYD!!! BABY HURT IN L&D!!! My sister's laying in a bed in labor & delivery right now, recovering from a c-section, and she got a roommate this morning, a teenager in labor. When the doctor was checking the teen's dilation progress, he found the baby was breech and TORE the baby's perineum (the skin between the vaginal opening and anus). So baby girl was born with a gaping rip from her vagina to her butt, and is being transported to a NICU for surgery right now. But the teeny mom doesn't realize the doctor injured the baby. She thinks the baby was just born that way. My sister doesn't know if she should say something, even though she heard the pediatrician say it was an injury. WWYD?? I think my sis has to say something. |

My sis was telling me via text how she feels bad for the baby that got hurt in the bed next to her, and I got the details. She said the pediatrician explained that the baby was injured b/c the baby's butt was right down by the cervix when doc checked mom, and he stuck a finger or three right up there into baby, ripping her. But the teenager mom didn't understand that the doctor caused it, when she relayed the story to her own mom.
I told my sis she needs to say something. That poor baby could have problems the rest of her life over a stupid doctor. |

Theres no way the dr could stick his hand in there and rip the baby there.. even breech.. when drs check you they dont reach in with barely enough force to rip the baby.. they reach in and thats it.. I have had 3 kids so I know. now if he went to break her water with that needle hook thing and the babys butt was RIGHT up against that area of the bag then I can understand.. But just checking with his hand is not at all possible.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Proud Mommy |
