Ever since the begining of my pregnancy there was numerous problems I was put on steriods and what not. Anywhoo... I had started having contractions in my 8th month of pregnancy and was given a shot to stop my labor and get sent home. 2 days before Aug 1st I went back to the Labor and Delivery and was having contractions during that time they hooked me up to the monitor and checked the intensity of my contractions. They noticed my sons heart rate was dropping. They watched me and his heart rate for an hour and sent me back home. i got really sick. Horrible heart burn I felt like I needed to vomit and I couldnt stop drinking water. The next day I called my OB to notify her that I was having horrible back pain and i believed I was having back labor. I was told there was no such thing and to call when I was in real labor and hung up on. I held off untill about 5 am Aug. 1st I couldnt stand the pain I was in. i went back down to labor and delivery we found out my son had been in fetal distress and I had been in labor for 2 days. They gave me an emergency c-section. And we were told if we hadnt came when we did me and my son would be gone. Then after birth and we were sent home. the doctor called after my sons newborn screening came back. They needed to do further testing for Cystic Fibrosis. 2 blood draws and 2 sweat tests later I was told YES MY SON DID INFACT HAVE CF.One CF clinic later... They wanted more testing. Now the Fecal elastace and throat swab came back perfectly normal and they are saying that he dont have it. So what can I do?
