<t>Hello Tom,<br/> <br/> I too have a baby with a RBPI, that appears to have had no birth trauma ( tugging or pulling ). I had an emergency c-section due to the fact that his cord was wrapped tightly around his neck 2 times. I can not give you a definitive answer as to whether he suffered any trauma...

I also think it is a crock because I had a baby with right BPI and he was born c-section...I also had gestational diabetes, however my baby was not macrosomic, so why is he injured????

Hey there,

<t>Thank you all for your replies. Joey is doing very well so far he has quite a bit of movement so far in his right arm.
