Guest guest Posted April 25, 2001 Report Share Posted April 25, 2001 Hi Tamara, I was also a forceps delivery, my Mom said it was a very traumatic event. Some doctors will associate chiari with a traumatic birth, although I don't know if it's a proven fact yet. There are still huge scares on my head from my birth, as soon as they removed me from my Mom, they had to put 24 stitches in my tiny head. I was born at s Hopkins Hospital, Dr.Weingart is my NSG at Hopkins, He has access to all my birth records, I think on my next visit to him I'm going to ask if he thinks there is any connection. I've seen this subject come up a lot with group, but never gave it any mind until now. If I find something out I'll let you know. In the mean time I know many member's have more information about this, so if you post please post to the group. Hugs and Prayers, Sharon Benedict Baltimore, land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
