Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

Because I like numbers

August 4, 2008 — 8:11 pm

I’m searching in medical publications for articles that may help us. I decide on a whim to search for amniotic band syndrome. This is what I found:

http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/119415481/abstract

We present a fatal case of umbilical cord constriction caused by an amniotic band, which occurs in one of 100,000-150,000 births.

Go me. I totally won the lottery. WTF.

In a way I’m glad it’s so rare so I really really don’t have to worry about it happening to us ever again. But on the other hand I just want to scream, “ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME?!”

This is me, stomping around, wanting to kick something.
