To make a long story short. Patient delivered a non-viable baby in the doctors office 18-20 weeks. Paramedics were called to transsport patient and baby to labor and delivery. Paramedics separated the two had two ambulences took mom to l and d attempted to reseccitate the baby and it died in the ER or in my arms when I went to retrieve the baby from ER. I'm not upset about the baby dying (well i am but that is not the point) baby should have been with mom the entire time!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm trying to tell as many "big wigs" as I can so some education or something can be done so this doesn't happen again

The doctor did tell them the gestational age and it was not viable and it needed to stay with the mother. He was overrulled by the paramedics. And yes there was a reason that she was too unstable for transport. Transport was already called before she delivered.
