Hi, my baby was being delivered with the umbilical cord tight around his neck, The Dr cut the cord & baby came out a few seconds later. My baby was pale & not breathing & it took them about 4 minutes to resuscitate him. Baby s eyes were opened & he was crying. He was then put in the incubator & taken to the nursery where he has been kept for 2 days. I have been told that he might have some brain damage due to him not breathing & not having oxygen to the brain. Also he did not get the transfusion of blood from the placenta due to the cord being cut. Could this pose a problem in his brain development? & if so is there anything we can do now that he is only 2 days old to avoid future problems (such as giving him iron supplement to create red blood cells for oxygen in his blood)? I have seen him & he seems fine & is very responsive & has good reflexes. He does however have blood clots in the white of his eye, around the pupil & at the corner of his eye. Is this due to the umbilical cord strangling him or something else & will the blood clots clear up?
