I don't believe there is a Mary Wagner. Has anyone ever spoken to her?

Christy-
Thanks for writing. I have some questions. I tried to email you directly, but couldn't get through. Write me back, OK?

Deanna

Tanner (male) 16 mths., RBPI, 9lbs. 6oz., Flagstaff, Az. Had some difficulty getting 1st child out when it came to shoulders and voiced concerned about bigger baby this second time around. Had unusual labor, long, not dialating, stuck at 9cm, etc. Had several risk factors and unfortunately had never heard of shoulder dystocia or BPI's, if only I would have been informed!

Deanna--which christy? When I first started on here there was only the one and now we are everywhere!

It's not this Christy either:) I think there are only us two that spell our name the same though - but not sure.

I DID NOT HAVE ANY OF THE RISK FACTORS FOR HAVING A CHILD WITH BPI, my daughter was face up and the doctor reached in and pulled her out by her left arm, not only breaking it, but leaving her with BPI.

I had three previous "10 pounders" but only had trouble, a lot of trouble, with the first one. However, this time I was over the age of 40, it had been 8 years since I had had a baby and I was extremely uncomfortable toward the end so the doctor chose to induce because the baby "is so big." Also found out she "damaged" another baby who is also in our support group.
