My daughter was very blueish purple when she was delivered via emergency C-section after a 14.5 hour labor with 2.5 hours spent pushing. She started having decelerations in her heart rate thatwas taking longer to rebound. It was only after they opened my uterus that they discovered her actual position. She had been very low and engaged before they broke my water . She had been facing up which was causing a lot of back labor and pain as she was being pushed into my spine and the nerves there. Her head was being pushed against my pelvic bone and she had a huge knot on the side of her head when she came out. It seemed like forever before she made a soft cry that was a meha sound, but she had actually started breathing before that as she was very alert and taking everything in. Everyone commented on how alert she was because she came out with her eyes wide open. It was literally the next day before we heard an actual cry from her. She rarely cried unless she was getting her clothes or diaper changed . I was a bit worried when she didn’t cry right away, but they reassured us she was breathing, but just not crying. When they brought her over she was a healthy pink.
