hey guys, thank you. tashy, no, we didn't do a post-mortem. cause he was born with the cord loop-the-loop around his ankles, it was obvious what had happened. they had sent the placenta away for testing, and he said it had something, can't remember what, but that basically showed he had been in distress before he died. that was hard to hear, i mean it seems obvious, of course he would have been, but to hear my little son was in distress.....i nearly broke down, my poor little guy

he said for the future though, if we decide to have another baby, basically cause of my c/s with DS, they won't induce me, so unless i want to wait and go into labour naturally (which i don't know if i could handle it, mentally) he said the safest option would be to have an elective c/s. i think im okay with that, but we'll wait and see when and if i get pregnant again.

other than that....he checked my belly, everything seemed fine....oh, question though, he sent me for some 'standard' blood tests, which is all to do with clotting and stuff for me (which has nothing to do with why he died, and i also have no family history whatsover)) but it turns out these tests aren't covered by medicare and is going to cost me over $300 to get these done....i just don't have that kind of money!! just wondering if you were sent for these tests, and if they are necessary? i will probably call him tomorrow and ask about them, but yeh.....don't really want to get these done
