Hello Ladies
I am new here and I need some advice on how should I proceed or what can I do.
Here is my case, I got pregnant in november with end of august due date. The pregnancy went fine I had three scans on the first scan the sonographer couldn't take baby's measures and I have seen a consultant 2 weeks later and she said that everything is fine. Then I had a scan at 20 weeks the sonographer couldn't take the measurements again she has seen me 2 times that day and took the measurements in the end and she said that everything was fine and the baby is developing normally. The pregnancy went fine afterwords until I started to feel bad on the 7th month I started to have high blood pressure, I went to hospital and was put on medication but my pre-eclamsia got worse and they have done a Doppler and saw that the blood is not going normally to the baby through the placenta. I had a c section and when the baby was born the doctors started to see that something was not right with her. She was transferred to a different hospital because she needed an operation whilst I stayed in the same hospital because I had eclampsia and it was unsafe. I didn't see my baby for two days, when I went to the hospital where my baby was I was told that the ADN results came back and that she had a chromosomal disorder that is not compatible with life. My baby died 4 days later and I was left with emptiness in my life. Friends keep telling me to sue the hospital but I don't know if that is going to help me in any way. Has somebody gone thru something like that, what are the consequences.
