Need clarifications...

My baby's face, palms and feet darkened hours after I gave birth to her. Then her heart stopped.  She was revived several times but she still died after 5 days. What could have caused it? She was my first baby. I'm a diabetic, was hyperglycemic and had pre eclampsia when I gave birth.

The hospital that i gave birth to was a public hospital.  The doctors never gave a clear answer of what the condition of my baby was.  But they did tried all of the necessary medications and remedies that's why my baby would die and come back through the help of some machines.  But she still died after several attempts.

Thank you so much  for your comment.  You were indeed a miracle and very lucky to have survived your condition.  I know my baby had the will to live but the environment inside the hospital was terrible.  Yes, you both have the same story.  Many people have said that maybe she was not meant to live this lifetime.  Maybe... But as a woman my age of 33, I certainly would love to have a little angel by my side. She was my first baby.  But I suppose God has a plan for me.
Yes she is an angel.  In my country, it is said that when a sick infant is baptized before she dies she becomes my guardian angel.  And I know she is now coz she protects me always.
Again thank you to you.. Take care always..

I was on my 35 week and 6 days.  My baby was frank breech so I had a caesarian section  I was supposed to give birth on Sept 4  but my water broke on the 7th of August.  I just came from my OB Gyn doctor.  She said that due to my condition of uncontrolled sugar, the baby could have had congenital anomally which could be possible, right?
