My friend just lost her baby!!

edited August 2011 in Giving birth
This is so crazy & so sad...she ended up going to the hospital cause she was having really bad cramps...they told her at the hospital that it was nothing & sent her home...as soon as she got home, she went into labor & ended up having the baby at her house!!! The baby ended up dying before she could make it back to the hospital!!! She was due October 20 so there was a big chance that the baby coulda made it had they let her stay at the hospital...I'm so mad right now...how can I help her??? Can we pursue any legal actions???

    Wow, that is horrible, I am so sorry! I will pray for yall tonight.

    I'm sure there is legal action that could be taken. That is something that could've been avoided and I think the hospital and on call doc should be held liable.
  • Oh my goodness! That is so sad! :'(

  • Wow thats horrible

  • A doctor checked her briefly n told her there was nothing wrong with her nor the baby! She was 7 mths!!! I'm in shock...something that could have been so avoided, ended up so ugly!!! All because of these lazy ass non license havin' so called 'doctors'....

  • OMG that is so sad!!! I can't believe these people actually graduated Med school! Ur friend will be in my prayers.
  • This is why I fucking hate labor and delivery people.. Smh . Sending hugs and prayers to your friend :(
  • Wow Sorry To Hear This
  • So sad :( I had a cousin who lost her baby as well so I know what your going through but in her case it could have been prevented... I've been to hospital where its kinda like they try to talk u out of your own pain and write it off as something else. Ugh! Makes me so mad. I'll be praying for your friend.
  • She could have a case against the hospital, she would be attempting to sue for negligence. It depends on who did what and how much they actually tried to help.. I would tell her to call a lawyer who specializes in this type of case and get a consultation..
    I know suing them wont bring her baby back, but it may give her a little more justice for completely ignoring symptoms...
    Best wishes to your friend.. so sorry she is having to go through this...
  • I agree with @podgemarine. it won't make it all right, but it might help another woman not have to go thru that. I would lay into the drs,,nurses & hospital!ur friends is in my prayers.
  • So. Sad I will be suing the hospital damn doctors where was her Ob at
  • Omg this is so so sad and I pray she will get justice for the baby :-S this medical world seriously makes me sick sometimes. Take that damn hospital and the doctor to the cleaners

  • Yep sir needs to take legal action. Not just for herself but for other women who have to use that hospital.

    Also she will need a lot of help. Its so hard to lose a baby that late you go through all the motions. Your milk comes in. The bleeding goes on for weeks. Just try to be there for her and help to make sure she takes it easy. I am so sorry for her loss it is devistating.
  • @ll10 thats so true! theres a lot of pain & suffering she will be going thru now cause her body just had a baby...

    to everybody else, thank you so much 4 the prayers! i work at a law firm so im getting all the assistance i need from them to guide me in the right direction...thank you 2 all :X
  • OMG that is so unbeliveably sad! I am due a day after she was and I cannot imagine how much she is hurting right now as I am already so attached to my baby boy. Praying for her :-(
  • My condolescences to your friend. I would definitely seek legal help and make that Doctor and nursing staff disappear and lose their license.
