Jackie saved our child's life. After, flagging down a doctor to have him insert the internal baby heart monitor. The doctor discovered that the cord was wrapped and resting slightly inside the cervix. Plans changed quickly to a C-section where the surgeon found that the baby's shoulder had also rested in the cervix. Had we tried delivering vaginally, our son's oxygen would have been cut off and it would have escalated to a potentially fatal emergency. Jackie noticed the heart rate reading wasn't quite right and by insisting the doctor examine the situation. She saved the life of our son. He was born healthy and so beautiful.
