Reading: My son, born at full term, was a healthy, big baby. Just minutes before my planned C-section, his heartbeat was strong. However, during the surgery, I was told he had severe birth asphyxia and was born with no heartbeat. He also suffered seizures and other complications. Doctors said I had a feto-maternal hemorrhage. Ten days before delivery, my sonography report was excellent, but the hospital later claimed they misplaced it. Even my obstetrician is baffled by what happened. How could this have occurred when everything seemed fine just moments before?

The scenario you describe raises serious concerns about potential medical negligence during your son’s delivery. A sudden onset of birth asphyxia despite a normal fetal heart rate minutes before surgery requires immediate investigation. You have the right to seek independent medical opinions and consider legal action to determine the cause of your son’s injuries and hold the responsible parties accountable.
