The nurses didn't talk because they all knew what to do and did it, very well I might add! What a great team you had!

My husband and I had the same experience with both of our boys having their umbilical cords around their necks. Our second was worse with not breathing at all after birth. I thank his pediatrician for saving his life 😭 but they’re both healthy and perfect now. I understand that eerie feeling in the room. Hearing your story is like reliving our story. Makes you so grateful for medical staff and appreciate every moment with your sweet baby 💗

I was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck. I got cerebral palsy out of the deal but I am doing extremely well. I am currently 59 years old. I’ve been employed since I was 19 on July 10, 2027. I will have my condo paid off. I’ve been living with my partner for 20+ years I drive a 2017 Dodge caravanand I’m completely happy. I do use a wheelchair but it never interferes with my life.

You will cry/tear up for years when you tell this story every birthday. My son was born via c-section and was dark purple, no sound. I wasn’t the one who carried him, so I could follow him/them around to see what going on. They immediately took him over to work on him. There was a team there “in case.” But an even more experiences team came in. They determined that he needed to be rushed to surgery for a chest tube as he was born with a collapsed lung. Over the next few hours, with the chest tube, he perked up, coloring normal, I was relieved but still nervous. However, it seemed safe enough that I could run home to feed the dogs and let them out to pee. On the drive back (less than 10 minutes each way), my partner called to say to come directly to her room, not the NICU. I thought he had died. Thank goodness he was alive, but his other lung had collapsed and he had received another chest tube, plus was showing signs of jaundice. We lived far from an appropriate hospital so he and I were life-flighted to a children’s hospital. In the plane I fell asleep and woke to sounds of them trying to keep him alive. In the ambulance from the airport to the hospital, we were stuck in traffic. I was up front with the driver. The people in the back were yelling to get us there or “this baby is not going to make it.” Luckily he did. He is 19 years old now and still hears the story every year.

We had a traumatic birth with our 3rd babe. The nurse looked at me and said we are gonna get this baby out now and the way she looked at me and said that I knew it was serious. It was like me and that nurse were the only 2 people in the room. I was so laser focused on what she was telling me. Baby was born not breathing and it took them 6 minutes to get him going good. Longest 6 minutes of my life. We spent 2 nights in the NICU just to be sure he was doing good. He is now 8 and as healthy as can be. Traumatic birthday are HARD and we don’t talk enough about it. Much love! Glad baby and momma are safe and sound. CONGRATS!

Watching the first time and seeing her turn purple and not crying my heart was breaking as I was crying and cheering her on. I'm so
happy she's doing well. You are a beautiful family.❤❤❤

This same exact situation just happened with my daughter last week when she was born. When she was born she cried once and then stopped breathing. It took them a while to get her breathing again. I remember in the moment having watched this video and it gave me a lot of peace and hope. I knew better what was going on. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Just hoping to make you feel a bit better. My 2nd daughter was born purple and that was the scariest few minutes of my life. We had already survived swine flu, which was killing pregnant mothers and fetuses, then at 28 weeks, I went into labor, went to the hospital, they gave me meds to stop the contractions, it didn’t help but they were ready to send me home. I refused and said something is wrong. The next morning my dr came in and told me the nurse gave me the wrong medication. Instead of stopping labor, it put me even more into labor. She was a veteran nurse, too. I had to be on meds until 36 weeks to stop contractions. When I chose the delivery date, I requested that nurse. I knew no one on this planet would take better care of my baby and I, and boy was I right. She was so down on herself and when she heard I requested her, she came and just hugged me and thanked me. I told her no need to thank me. We’re human. I was safe, my baby was safe and I’ll never forget her. 💜 also want to add everyone in my life told me to sue her and the hospital. I thought about it, then put myself in her shoes. Long shifts, a lifetime career, one mistake. Wasn’t worth it to me. She watched us like hawks and held my hand the whole way. Oh, and my daughter is almost 15 now 🩷 she’s still perfect.

having good nurses, and birth team makes all the difference. So glad to see baby Indie healthy, and Allie recovering well from the birth, and the 2 of them physically doing well now. It is an emotional experience for both parents in a birth experience and you 2 make such an amazing team for your little family. So happy that everyone is doing well now.

My husband was born with his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and was also purple. Fast forward 37 years, he's strong, very tall, and the bravest person I know!
Indie has been a fighter from the beginning and she has so much potential, mom and dad! All of your kids are gonna make you proud! ❤

[pbl]

Y'all are the sweetest most precious families. So happy everyone is ok

Look at all these amazing stories of survival! And you guys have joined the ranks ❤️
My son was born by c-section 4.5 years ago. He cried a little bit and then stopped. They took him away like they did with Indie, and it felt like forever. In the end they told me he needed to go to NICU as his breathing wasn’t the best. I didn’t even get to hold him as they needed to prioritise his care, but I have a photo of when they wheeled him past me and paused so I could reach out and touch him.
Hands down one of the hardest experiences of my life.
Fast forward to now - he is an absolute force of nature, and a very big tall energetic boy!!

I'm 60 now and was one of the 25 percent so was my granddaughter who is now 7, glad everything worked out in the end ❤

[bergamottea]

Wow what a community. You are both so level headed. I could tell you were both terrified but you handled with grace. Happy all are well!! 💗

[latishajens]

Thank y’all for sharing your experience with us. I’m sure with it you are helping another family make it through it too. She’s a fighter like her daddy. Congratulations she’s precious and Remi is awesome with her. Which shows that y’all are great parents.❤

[dannyheroic]

Props to you two for having so much strength and courage and sharing this with us.

[wowzatrishiebunz]

The staff were great calming down the situation. I pushed my baby out in 4 minutes without an epidural so I had a non numbed episiotomy that was not too bad but it burned badly. The staff in my situation were not calming one bit and it made the entire situation so much more intense and scary. I’m glad Indie is safe and home with her Trippy Family. ❤

[lezup]

I’m so sorry you had to go through this. She is home with you now. Cherish every moment. Cob webs 😊. I’m glad you were able to get the epidural, to reduce pain. It has to be traumatic coming from a constant waterbed and all you can eat buffet. Your team sounds like they were prepared for things and able to make sure you weren’t traumatized completely. To hear her cry was a beautiful sound. I’m sure you sharing this will help future parents know what could be expected. Indie is lucky to have such attentive parents and medical team. Hi to Remi. Thumbs up for being a rockstar big sister.

[RissyRawr]

I'm sorry you guys had to go through this scare but I'm so glad she is okay. Congratulations to growing your beautiful family.
