Those !&*#%(*$&!!!!

I'm so mad right now.  I just got my medical records from my former OB, including the operative report.  The reason given for c-section?  Failure to progress.  I was told my baby was in distress, and that isn't noted anywhere.  My labor had stalled, but for under 3 hours.  Sorry for the random vent, but I'm so angry and I didn't know who else would understand!

  • Oh wow!  Not hoping that your baby was actually in distress, but maybe it's an error or lazy reporting?

    I know my operative report had a huge error.  It said I was induced for 3 days and failed which resulted in c/s.  In actuality I was induced for 3 days, then WENT HOME for 2 days and came back after going into labor on MY OWN.

  • Wow, I am angry for you.  Does it say anything about your baby's condition at birth or Apgars?  Did you get your fetal monitor strips?

    This.

     My operative report said I was induced at 41 weeks, which is completely incorrect.  Hello people, it was 42 weeks.  There was no way I would have let them induce at 41.

  • No fetal monitoring strips.  Apgars were 8 & 9.  I would like to see the notes from the hospital itself when I was in labor, but now I'm afraid.  I'd almost rather have not known and live in ignorance about it.  It took 2 months just to get these records, after the office claimed to have not gotten my first request, which I dropped off by hand.  To say I'm unhappy is an understatement.
  • I'm sorry. I used to work in litigation w/ medical malpractice cases and inconsistencies in medical reports were common. If the baby was in fetal distress, they might not have written it down because they didn't have the time. I would like to think they would put that in afterwards, but you never know.

  • The exact same thing happened to me!  I am getting the ones from the hospital because my doc office wants them I am curious to see if it is in there.
  • I'm so sorry, that must have been a shock! I hope that what marge said is right, and that they didn't just outright lie to you. ((hugs))

  • nice that they didn't even have the balls to tell you the truth. I'd send them some hate mail.
