My son was due July 10th, and I had to have him June

14th because of my pre-eclampsia being so bad.

None of my aspies were preemies, but....

There's a doctor who's doing research into the effects of neonatal anemia from

premature cord clamping (the cord SHOULD stop pulsing before it's clamped...that

gives the baby one last bolus of very iron rich & immunity rich blood) He's a

German doctor that I heard at a birth conference & his results showed an amazing

propensity for children who's cords were clamped early to develop epilepsy,

AUTISM, learning disabilities, and diabetes. His results are comparing

deliveries without complications (no high-risk factors prenatally, no

prematurity, no ruptured bags, no miconium, no irregular fetal vitals, no

extended labor)

In my case, it's just the way it was done at that time. For my son, he had

passed miconium & they cut it right away. My friend's children got clamped early

because they were " banking " the cord blood. And we've all got Aspergers'

Go Figure!

---My twins were not premie, I think they would still be in there if

they could. I had bad pre-eclampsia too and they had to induce me 1

day early. The boys weighed 7lbs 10 and 7 lbs 3 oz. I had wondered if

the condition I was in when I had them naturally with a temp of 104

and diarrhea and high blood pressure had anything to do with aspergers

when I first heard they had a problem, but I guess it had nothing to

do with it since it seems to be the way the brain is 'wired'...

Since it's still standard procedure to clamp every baby's cord, unless there's

strenuous objections from the parents, I doubt that autism from this cause will

rise much....but check out when it became a standard, and look at the growth

curve of autism.

And, really there's no reason to clamp it....God kinda had a plan when he

engineered our umbilical cords...they have an automatic shut off when they're no

longer needed...how's that for a coincidence!

My son with AS was born 5.5 wks early due to premature labor and born

via c-section.

[Guest guest]

The twins were 5 weeks early - one has Aspergers the other is fine.....

Both of my sons on the autism spectrum were two weeks late. Pam

[Guest guest]

my son was born right on his due date too, they had to use foreceps to

deliver him, when he was 3 weeks old he had RSV and we took him to the ER is a

lot

of breathing distress, his lips were blue. Lynda

[Guest guest]

No preemie here. He tried to come out on his due date, got " stuck "

(breech - his head was tilted a bit), and finally (after 38 hrs of

labor) was taken via emergency C. His sister seems ok, and she was a

scheduled C (the ultrasound seemed to indicate she had a big head, but

it was normal) and it turned out she was in the exact same breech

position as her brother. Coincidentally, contractions started while I

was waiting for the C, so they both wanted to be born on time.

I've been wondering if the trauma of the long labor, incl 5 hrs of

pushing (after they broke my water), etc could have had anything to do

with it.

My son was born six weeks early b/c I had severe preeclampsia. I was

given Mag. Sulfate and other drugs while trying to get my bp down and

keep him " in " for longer. I was induced with pitocin and was only in

labor for 12 hours and he came out after 3 pushes.

My son was on time to. Actually had to induce labor because he did not want to

come out. Sometimes wish he hadnt.lol For some reason though the epidural did

not work when i had him no matter how much they gave me and the stuff they give

to induce labor did not work either they had to really amp up the dosage to get

him to come out. Doc told me he was a stubborn one, boy do i have to agree now.

My DS was over a week overdue...he has always hated change...he is now

6 but I am convinced he would still be hanging out in my tummy if they

didn't do a C section to take him out. They induced labor and 36 hours

later they took him.....my husband said that during the c section they

tugged and tugged and didn't want to come out. My daughter who we

suspect as AS and OCD popped right out 23 minutes before her due date

and has been too perfect ever since!

[Guest guest]

I always say my kids were just stubborn from the get go! had

her head in the same position as CJ (who wouldn't budge), so she would

have been stuck, too if they hadn't had her scheduled for a C. :-)

Ya know, CJ has always hated change, so maybe that's part of it, too. ;-)

Both of my labors were induced and complicated. My first son was never in

the " birthing " position but they let me labor for over 30 hours anyway. My

second son became engaged and I was pushing for about an hour. Then everything

became so painful I could not take it anymore. Doctor said it would still

be like an hour of pushing. At that point I opted for another csection. Come

to find out I had ruptured my uterus through my first son's uterine

incision. Fun! Pam

My son was induced to high blood pressure a week early.

Here's another difficult one for you......... was at least a week

late - was induced - after 12 hours of labor, with his heart rate

sometimes going down, I had a c-section. When the doctor opened me

she said he was lying straight out sideways, not up and down. He

weighed 8 lbs 12 oz. We don't have babies that big in my family. I

think he just didn't want to come out! He was an angel baby - slept

all night - 10 hours - at 6 weeks. We should have known something was

up - LOL! He didn't need to be held all the time, he was content -

just like now, he likes to just be left alone a lot. He did not gain

weight much as a baby, and we even were sent for blood work at 7

months, but nothing was wrong. They drew blood from his arm - not a

peep from him - he just watched what the nurse was doing - there's

that high tolerence to pain starting already! Once he turned one he

grew and gained weight more normally. Talked well and right on time -

walked very late - 17 months. There's that low coordination thing!

This is why I'm hesitant to think that vacs have anything to do with

his AS. When I look back or watch video of him at a young age, I

always notice something, but at the time we didn't.

I have 2 sons who were both born 5 weeks early and they both are aspie. I also

have 2 daughters born early who do not have AS.
