At 28 weeks..... definitely some other problem involved. What we have here is a doctor making an heroic effort that didn’t work.

There’s way more to this story! At 28 weeks, with an abdomen bigger than it’s head!!! And obviously, if the doctor couldn’t get the baby out of the birth canal, his only choice is to try to get it back in the uterus and do a C-Section. If lives are at risk, tough luck if the sedation/anesthesia hasn’t kicked in. A 28 week premie with a huge abdomen doesn’t sound like it would have had a very good outcome even with a C-Section. I’ll stop my rant there, having had 14+ years in NICU, closely tied with L&D.
