My life with Accidental Amniotic Band Syndrome
Although this condition can happen naturally, mine was a bit of a screw-up. For those of you who don’t know, Amniotic Band Syndrome is a condition where the bands of tissue surrounding the baby become entangled with the baby. This cuts off circulation to parts of the body such as fingers and toes which results in the limbs dying, not growing, or being squeezed off. There are some situations where the bands can wrap around the neck or other parts of the body and become fatal.
