I delivered My son 5 months ago. It was a 39.5 hour delivery which he had come out blue and i suffered Injuries from the delivery . The obgyn never came in the room it was only the midwife . I ended Up with a prolapse from the delivery and she used sutures they were too tough which has left me with a lot of pain and discomfort and scar tissue . I got A second opinion and she said she should have used different sutures . My son is also delayed and i requested My medical records and come to find out the cord has been wrapped around his neck and she failed to tell me and didn’t notice because when he came out blue she ended up pulling him out instead of letting me push.
I am very sorry to hear about the damage to your son. Based upon the information which you have offered, there may be multiple responsible parties potentially involved.
The answer to your question can only be obtained through medical expert review of your medical records to determine if and by whom the standard of care was breached and if that breach directly caused your son's developmental delay.
A Personal Injury Attorney can assist you in exploring these issues by interviewing you in depth and reviewing your medical records prior to sending them out for review by the appropriate medical experts.
Consequently, if you are interested in consulting with one of us, you will have to reach out, as attorneys are unable to directly solicit on this forum.
Do not delay, as the Statute of Limitation for bringing a Medical Malpractice lawsuit is relatively short given the complexity involved in such cases.
