Will do guys. I was wondering if I should start a paypal account for my step mom and have a donations page on the net or something. Will anyone actually help?

Malpractice? I dont think anyone put their hand in my step moms stomach and wrapped the cord around HER neck. Im going this weekend to try and ask local churches by where they live. Thanks guys!
I think the malpratice thought comes from the fact that certain times, the umbilical cord can get stuck around the neck whilst the baby is the birth canal - this happens quite commonly if the baby is too large to fit through (get's stuck at the shoulders, or is in an odd position).
Not incidentally, I wondered if a similar situation was the cause of this terrible loss. Most unfortunately, my sister was ensared by her umbilical cord during her birth, and she suffered severe, irreversible brain damage. The doctor estimated my sister’s weight incorrectly by about 4lbs - doc said that she was only 7lbs, she was really almost 11lbs - as a result, she got stuck on the way out. Today she is a spastic quadriplegic with cerebral palsy. Her condition breaks my heart every time I seriously consider the pain and suffering she has to endure daily. My parents were too emotionally damaged to sue the doctor, even though they should have. The costs related to her medical care have been staggering.
In any event, if you do setup a PayPal account, please let me know the address. This situation, because of the circumstances, does strike near and dear to my heart and I would be happy to contribute something to your need.Jay Sudowski // Handy Networks LLC // Co-Founder & CTO

Thanks, I understand what you mean now. She was not going to be born for another month, my dad and step mom monitor the babys heartbeat every day, and on Wednsday, they didnt hear a beat so they rushed to the emergency room. When they got there the doctors said it was too late and told her she has to wait till Friday to get the baby out. I will start a paypal account for her if she lets me, Ill call her right now.

You might also want to post your Paypal link on Craigslist.com, you should get some exposure there.

You can ask a local church to donate some money for the service because they will be willing to help.

Update: I just found out the total cost of everything. The $1,600 was for the site, $900 for the services, and $450 for the tombstone. Total cost is: $2,950. Thanks for the guys who supported me and helped raised some money. I still remember, every penny makes a difference and in this time of need, it makes a big difference. Thanks guys!

Update: We buried her today and it was very painful to see my step-mom crying all the way up to the hill where she was buried at. Me and my step sister walked her pink casket to the grave (it was very light) and set her down on the white block thing. We then stepped away and the priest gave a small speach. The whole thing went wrong though, the flowers were extremly late, and they didnt make the cards that they hand out till way after everyone had left. It was disapointing there but we still have each other. Thanks for the support guys.
