My labor was induced with pitocin and everything seemed to be going well until the heart monitor showed my son's heart rate dropping and my husband says it actually stopped at one point. The doctor ordered my sister to turn off the video camera, she told me we had to get the baby out NOW, and they put an oxygen mask on me, told me to push as hard as I could when I couldn't feel the contractions and they had to tell me when I was having one, and then they tried some vacuum thing that didn't work so they had to use forceps to get him out quickly and the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck possibly causing mild birth asphyxia.
My husband and I have always thought his difficult birth might have something to do with his sensory integration issues, hypotonia and motor dyspraxia since no one in our family has this.
