[quote:Anonymous Coward 33274785:MV8yMTgyNTY4XzM2OTIzNzgxX0FDNzNBNzQ5] This is an example of socialized medicine...I would guess that this mother was never tested for gestational diabetes ( a leading cause of high birth weight babies.) If she had been given an ultra sound during the pregnancy it would have indicated the babies huge size. A C-section should have been done here to prevent needless suffering of the mother and oxygen deprivation to the baby. This penny wise and pound foolish stand could turn out to be more costly in the future...Babies who lose oxygen during birth face a life time of complications that may not show up for years. [/quote]
Original Message
George King was born six weeks ago to his parents Jade and Ryan.
Because no one knew he would be so big his parents said it was a struggle to deliver him.
George went without oxygen for five minutes. He was given a 10% chance of survival.
He was transferred to St Michael's Hospital in Bristol but allowed home four and a half weeks later.
