Backstory: I had a rough delivery with DD. My epi wore off at about 7cm dialated and the top off didn't work. She was sunny side up with a head tilt and I couldn't get her down past my pubic bone, so the doc helped with the vacuum (hurt like heck, but got her head out in 2 pushes!). Her head was out, but her shoulders got stuck. It was horrible - I was in so much pain but so scared as all kinds of medical people were running in, nurses on the bed pushing on my stomach, doc calling for more doctors and NICU. It was horrifying, but my doctor got her out and the nurses got her breathing regulated quickly, she never even had to leave my room. My doctor was very worried about DD having a broken collar bone, but after several people examined her, all was thought to be fine.
Once we were home I realized that her right arm seemed quite a bit slower then her left. I mentioned it at her 1 week appointment and the doctor we saw (not our regular pedi) said to keep an eye on it and come back at one month old, and by then I was satisfied that her arm had caught up to the other and was fine.
This week was her 2 month appointment. As the pedi did her full exam, she said that her collar bone had been broken! Apparently she could feel a calcium deposit on the bone which indicates that it's healed a broken spot. She also said it's healed now and there was nothing that we could have done for it anyway, but still, I feel so bad for her!!! She never cries or fusses and never indicated that she was in any kind of pain but I can't stop feeling now like I knew something wasn't right - my poor baby!!!!
And yeh, there's no point to this post other than for me to whine a bit about how bad I feel for me little girl to have gone through that... OK, Complaining over
Re: At DD's 2 month appointment...
Poor baby and poor mama! I'm so sorry.
But like your pedi said, nothing you could have done, so try not to beat yourself up about it.
At least it healed and everything's fine now!
