hello! i had my baby about a month ago and she is finally coming home on monday! i am super excited, she has been in NICU since she was born. i need some opinions/thoughts from you guys because some people are telling me i should talk to a laywer about what happened. so the short version is i had a normal 1st stage labor then when pushing started i pushed for 3.5 hours and baby was stuck, pretty far down though, we could always see her hair sticking out! so the Dr said the best option was forceps becuase of where she was so we went with it. (forcep deliveries are super scary by the way) so we got in there i got all extra drugged and the Dr started. it ended up that she was face up and nobody knew until she was coming out. she was breathing fast so she went to the NICU and it ended up that she got nerve damage. it is the nerve that controls the diaphragm so it won't let her right lung fully expand so she needs oxygen right now and a feeding tube because she breathes too fast to take a bottle all the time. it isn't a permanent thing even if (worse case) she needed surgery to fix it. but her Dr thinks it will repair on its own, it will just take time. she is coming home with oxygen and the tube. so, i would like to know what you all think, was there any negligence? what would you do or think? thank you!!!!
