Babies Babies Everywhere

by Kate Peterson

Some of you may recall that I announced my cousin who had been through holy heck trying to get pregnant finally did it. Well her little girl was born earlier this week. But as usual, it was not a walk in the park for her.

My cousin is a petite woman and a week prior to giving birth, the doc said that the head was in the 94th percentile. I was surpised that they were not going for a c-section.

Her water broke at 3am and finally at 11pm they decided it was time for a c-section when she developed a fever. Her placenta had torn. Has anyone ever heard of that?

After she gave birth, the doctor told her mother that the placenta had torn, but her ovaries were still in tact. Was there of chance of them NOT being in tact? He didn't elaborate.

Just wondering....oh and Christine - better watch out what details YOU give me - 24 more days to go!!!
