I did attend a couple births that the baby cried and we did what we do. We tended to them.....with the best care possible to them.

I personally many years ago had a baby born at 22 weeks....that was stillborn. It happens.....And it still hurts my heart to even think about it.....

I'm sorry for your loss. My first son was stillborn at 21 weeks. Although I'm a man, I can understand your pain.

And yet how much more would that pain be if your child was born alive, and then ignored?

Even if he died an hour later after a fight, wouldn't it be better to have fought? To know that all that could be done was done?

I am a man also.......

This happened before I was in the medical field......

And yes....our baby never cried, and didn't have a heart beat even before delivery. My wife had a nearly complete detached placenta.......

Thanks-
