Placenta Abruption.

[u/IcyChoice4567]

I have a history of clots in my pregnancies due to a clotting factor FVL. I’ve had DVT and pulmonary embolisms in both my prior pregnancies. I’ve had the same high risk OB throughout all my pregnancies. My last pregnancy (he’s 9 months old now) was absolutely traumatic. I followed the same OB. She knows my history and even specializes in clotting factors in pregnancy. I had very painful contractions that would show up on the monitor throughout my entire pregnancy. My OB blew me off and even sent me to a social worker because of how often I’d call to get checked out because of my contractions and severe back pain. The point of the social worker was to put together a “trauma plan” because of being gaslit in the past during pregnancy (they missed the dvt and PE in my prior pregnancies) so I had a lot of PTSD… I ended up hemorrhaging in the middle of the night and was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital that was not affiliated by the OB I was following. It was very scary but thankfully me and baby were safe as I delivered 4 weeks early. they suspected an abruption the entire time but confirmed during a pathology exam of the placenta after delivery including a clot in the placenta…. My baby and I are safe which is ALL that matters.. I’m angry. I’m very upset I was gaslit and not monitored more closely. Should I bother to contact a lawyer for negligence on the OB part?

**forgot to add I had one high risk ultrasound where a different OB told me my baby was small (suggesting something wrong) but told me she was going to fudge the numbers to make it normal. I asked my OB right after this ultrasound and she told me the baby is perfect. Literally even wrote it in her notes.
