I am just wondering if anyone else had a suction cup used on them at birth? My mother said i had to have one used on me and that a gave me a really large bump on my head and my head was really misshaped for a while. It seems to me that maybe something like this could be tied into having Chiari but i am no doctor.
No suction used on me but my mother told horror stories of my birth. I was initially coming out breached. They turned me, then I started coming out face first and my neck was nearly broken. According to her they had to turn me several times. I too wonder if my birth created thid problem.
My mother told me that they had to use forceps to deliver me and I had a cone head for like months. I have often wondered the same thing
I wish i knew of way to find out if there have been studies on this or if there will be one in the future. I think things like this have to play a part in Chiari.
I have not heard of the back to sleep campaign. What is it?
Oh ok thanks.
