Re: Tort/Plagio and Cord Around the Neck - Studies?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

My second child was born via emergency c-section due to his cord being

around his neck and around his shoulder. As he was trying to " come

out " he compressed his cord. He was born tort and plagio free,

thankfully. My tort/plagio baby didn't have her cord around her neck.
