OK pregnant mamas...let me just say I do not want to inflict fear in anyone, I'm pregnant too, with my first babies. Yeah twins. So fear...well I have a new fear every day. But I'm the kind of person who likes to talk about fear -- it helps me not fear so much.
Here's a fear I never thought of before though...until now.
I read about one CafeMom's birth story and her baby's face was cut during her c-section.
How could that happen? But apparently it can, though it is very, very rare.
This CafeMom and her baby are doing fine, but still...poor baby being cut. Thankfully it wasn't his eye!
I am not planning on having a c-section, but I do know how things don't often go according to plan. So this is frightening.
Have you ever heard of a baby being cut during a c-section?

Yes, My first DD was cute during a emergency c-section. She was breeched and like they didn't do ultrasound first to see what position she was. The doctor accidentally cute her a little above her eyebrow line.. She is 8 years old now and I can still see a scar.. So I would be scared.. Just to be safe make sure the doctor gives you an ultrasound first before entering a operating room..
A girl that I used to work with has a scar on her lower back from being cut during her mom's c-section.
I swear.. before you go into labor or even now DO NOT watch the baby story on TLC .. LOL it freaks you out even more.
I know a few people, online and off, who either had it happen to them or their babies.
Michele, remember that despite the fact you're having twins, you most likely will NOT need a c-section, and the likelihood of this happening is even less.
A friend of mine had her ear split when her mom had a c-section. It was only a little, & now (21yrs later) you can hardly tell...but yeah, it happens. It's rare though. My lil man was just born via emergency c-section on the 15th & he's fine =)
My sister was cut below her eyebrow and needed stitches they cut so deep on her. The scar is still visible 22 1/2 years later
A baby getting cut on the face is rare. But babies get cut during c-sections all the time. I know 4 IRL, and many more on CM. Breech babies are especially vulnerable to it. I know two little girls and one little boy who have a scar on their butt from it. One of them needed 3 stitches.
My son had to stay in the newborn nursery an extra long time. When visiting him one time I heard a doctor, coming in from a c-section say how bad she felt that it was the first time she cut a baby. I had no idea that it happened until then...
my first was cut during a vaginal birth...she got stuck and they did an emergency episomoity (spelling??) and cut her shoulder in the process. It was not deep and I did not care - she needed out of there fast and they did it! I had my second by c-section and never even had the thought that they might cut him!
OMG! That is scary!
I had a friend growing up who was cut on the back of his neck during c-section delivery. It was pretty bad, and the scar was still visible after 18 yrs.
I have twins, and did natural child birth with them. My local hospital had a multiples=c-section policy so my OB found a group of doctors willing to deliver my naturally, and allowed her to attend the birth. It was definitely something worth fighting for!
