My niece(21 years old) was 7 months pregnant and the babies heart stopped beating. Two days ago her doctor admitted her and had her go through labor and delivery for a baby that was no longer alive. Wouldn't it be better to have c-section in such cases? The doctor said this way there isn't as much trauma on the body-- delivering vaginally- as a c-seciont- but what about the emotional trauma?? that can be worse sometimes--can't it. She had to go through labor pains and pushing only to have the final outcome be--- the loss of a baby....

My niece may need to be hospitalized for her depression-- she's taking it very very hard. I think the whole labor thing was what affected her so intensely.

Poor little guy--(It was a boy)..... why didn't he get a chance to see the world????
