RIP BABY BOY GIRON (December 6, 2024 – December 7, 2024)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Saturday at 12:55 a.m.

This is considered an accidental, i.e., unintentional, overdose. The child’s mother was taking drugs while pregnant.

Footling Breech Dystocia refers to complications during labor when a baby is in a footling breech position. In this position, one or both of the baby’s feet are extended downwards, presenting as the lowest part of the fetus near the cervix.

Dystocia, or difficult labor, can occur due to several factors, including the baby’s position, which may lead to complications such as prolonged labor or fetal distress.

Studies have shown that there is a relationship between maternal drug use and breech presentation.
