Midterm Loss due to Cord AccidentHi Marcia:
Thanks so much for getting back to me. I have been in contact with Dr. Jasin Collins at The Pregnancy Institute. I talked to him on the phone for over an hour, he was great. I just received from him yesterday, a folder full of information, by the looks of things everything ever printed on the subject of cord accidents. He is an amazing man, doing amazing research. If you know anyone else who needs info, he is the man to contact.
