It's been almost two years after giving birth to my sleeping angel Layla. We know she died from blood poisoning and organ failure die to chromioamniotits. I keep on thinking about my pregnancy.
I 'had the feeling that maybe my waters had broke' I 'had the feeling she was not growing big enough' I 'had the feeling the pains were not Braxton hicks'.
I told the mid wives my concerns but they told me all was well. 'Discharge was clear and normal, estimated 6lb was normal for 36week scan even though my other bub were 9lb 8oz at full term and feeling tight pains in the afternoon was fine'.
Now I'm thinking I want all my medical records and want an independent doctor to review every thing from start to finish.
Check growth rate, all ultra sounds, bloods, swabs ( which I never received the results), just everything.
I want to see if they were incompetent.
Is it worth going through? Has anyone else been through this?
When it first happened my husband want to sue someone and I said don't worry about it but now I'm thinking other wise.

I lost my son at 39 weeks due to a cord accident. I had a difficult pregnancy with preterm labor, possible appendicitis, and issues with large blood vessels. In the end he was perfect but his cord got around his neck and my labor went too fast to save him. I was so angry with the doctor at first but knew it was really not his fault. Then I blamed myself for not calling sooner but this is all part of the stages of grief.
If you truly believe the doctor did something wrong then I would look into it but you may be looking for answers that just aren't there. It could have just happened and you have to accept that. It is hard to do and takes time.
I have an amazing relationship with my dr and the whole practice which has also been very helpful.
Very natural feelings doesn't mean its easy, but it may settle down that insistent need to know. Good luck in your journey.
