Hamish died of "mild hypercoiling of the umbilical cord". Apparently umbilical cords are structured like a telephone cord however the one that was supporting Hamish had too many coils which slowly restricted the flow of blood to him.

My useless ob said he's never heard of the condition and will have to "look up the internet" and consult his colleagues about it. He said it's like an act of God that was caused neither by me or Hamish. I didn't need him to tell me any of that, and I can Google the words from the report myself!

I thanked heaven that my boy just slowly drifted off to sleep, that I indeed didn't kill him and that I'm not broken in my baby-making parts.

On Monday I'm going to trot off to my GP with this report and ask her to write a referral to another obs, who was recommended to me by a member of BB who has also had a stillborn bub.
