This surely doesn't matter anymore since you already paid and you were happy with the deal but from experience I know those agents at the US Anesthetists office can make you swallow spit when they communicate to you your bill. If I tell you how much they initially said we owed for anesthesia, you will marvel. Dude even asked me to fax him correspondence with the hospital and they will have to review my request for a price slash with a feedback to be expected in 30 days! Guess what? I sent them the stupid fax. But then I called again and the new agent was glad to receive my payment for $950 after admitting the previous agent didn't know sh!t about what he was talking about.
wow!
We talked to our Dr about settling whatever bill we can settle before we r discharged... She told the nurse to get the greater Houston anesthesiology people.

He (the anesthesiologist in charge) came upstairs to our room and we paid cash. Nd was given our receipt

I am so taking Epidural! Some people have been preaching Christian stories that touch to me, but sorry I no wan know. God has used technology to bless us.
I wanted to brave it o. The nurse kept asking me if I wld take epidural I said no..
TheY gave me pain killer that made me sleep... But that worked for a while, na d pain wake me.
It was me screaming for epidural.... Chai...
As soon as epidural was given... It was a jolly good ride. And the anesthesiologist was so fast.

@firstymum but seems still birth is more common in moms that have passed their due date

I know Iv read at least 4/5 cases of such since I started following this thread 2 years ago sad sad

Does that mean one should insist on an induction before 41 weeks?

I think (layman knowledge) a lot of it is poor monitoring from the hospital. One of such mom had no amniotic fluid left in her, meanwhile she had antenatal the day before induction,

It's well
My advice is once she has passed her due date, she shld b vigilant.
There's indication for induction. Not every woman can b induced.

I agree with poor monitoring. But let's b aware that not everyone can afford "5star" hospitals.
I've worked in a hospital where monitoring a pregnant woman was by the grace of God.
How many women can afford the extra cost of induction sef. Or can endure the pain.? Remember in naija epidural is for selected hospitals

My advice is be aware of ur foetus. I know they teach fetal kick counts during antenatal. We shld practice it.
If u can afford a sonicaid buy it
Ensure u have a hospital close to u, if she feels the kicks ain't like before.. She knows where she can run to or check.

Ps the kicks reduces D closer it is to due date. Cos there isn't enough room like before.

My baby was a pretty calm baby inutero. I had to practically try to tickle him to get him to kick. There are times I wld almost cry because he refused to kick.

PRAYERS.... Hmmm when the devil wanna strike, he will do it in different forms.
DISPATCH YOUR ANGELS TO GO AHEAD AND PREPARE YOUR DELIVERY ROOM.


May God keep protecting all of us and our Families amen

#Firsttymum, Soonest, Mizcyn
why do stillbirths happen?
Hmmmm why do still birth happen?
It's easier to break it down like this
Mother factors (diabetes, obesity, age(above 35) high bp, lack of nutrition, infection etc)
Baby factors(cord round the neck or cord prolapse, lack of nutrition due to iugr, chromosomal abnormalities)
Placenta factors (don't know where to group it) but more like when the placenta detaches early from the uterine wall.
Hospital factors (majorly lack of monitoring)

Summary ; cord, infection ( kinda common), diabetes (baby is used to the high level of glucose imagine the abrupt cut in supply of that glucose he or she is used to), post date etc
Others are smokers or being around chronic smokers, alcohol.

There's something called economic class syndrome... One of the Reason why pregnant women are asked for fit to fly. It leads to pulmonary embolism which can lead to still birth.

Is there a way you can detect if your baby is under duress?
Yes... Fetal kicks. Usually when she has passed due date, or are at risk for still birth, it's best she grabs her jotter and start with the fetal kick counts. Or by the use of sonicaid. that's about it in our country.

Is there a way you can know if negligence from the medical personnels caused it?
Yes u can know... But only very very sensitive women do. If she's being induced especially for someone long pass her due date... it means there shld b some form of fetal heart monitoring... Because the woman have close and very painful contractions she might not know.. So constant monitoring. The sonicaid will beep it's d heart rate is low or high.

(During contraction the baby is squeezed thereby cutting blood to the placenta. For a normal healthy baby he or she will cope well)

Now mrs A might have still birth cos she's obese, doesn't mean Mrs B will.

Other Drs can pls add or remove.
