I have an appointment in a few days to find out what happened at my sons birth. I've talked about it on my home birth thread but the main points are they ignored me telling them I hadn't felt him move, ignored him dropping from lots of movements to not many movements on the monitor, told me I was being dramatic and didn't pick up he was distressed resulting in severe breathing problems and what they think was sepsis, a NICU stay, separation, hospital transfer, and bad treatment postnatally including a midwife telling me I didn't love my baby.
My regular consultant is off and so the person doing it is the one who told me I was being dramatic and sent me home when I was screaming in pain and crying.
I am nervous. I've spoken to professionals about it and been told it looks like there was negligence, but they'll probably try to cover it up. I have blank pieces from the birth and have flashbacks, as well as feel like my babies first day was robbed from us.
If you've been through something similar, how was it? Did you get answers? What should I ask? Will they try to hide it?
I'm very scared.
