It is an unfortunate fact that thousands of expecting mothers miscarry their babies each year. In many cases, miscarriage is a direct result of physician negligence. During their routine checkups, expecting mothers are supposed to be tested for a number of ailments that could potentially harm their fetuses.
Medical malpractice may play into miscarriage in one of two ways. The first way this may occur is when a physician fails to diagnose a woman with an ailment that may be potentially threatening to her child. The other way is when the physician fails to treat the mother for her ailments.
Lawyer Malpractice
In either case, fetal death usually can be avoided if the physician does his or her job correctly. While there are certain unfortunate conditions that may take treatment out of a doctor's hands, many of the conditions that plague mothers and hurt fetuses are treatable.
Common ailments that can endanger a fetus are:
· Hypertension
· Disease and infection
· Gestational diabetes
· Malnutrition
· Womb disorders
In many cases, these ailments can be treated with medications and other procedures that do not harm the child. Should a physician fail to diagnose these ailments, though, the mother may not know that she has a potentially life-threatening disorder.
In many cases, doctors fail to diagnose expecting mothers with ailments because the mothers do not report any abnormalities. Since many women expect pregnancy to be a straining and stressful process, many of them attribute aches and pains to the pregnancy and not some other problem.
Even still, this is no excuse for a doctor to not order tests for common ailments. If you or someone you love miscarried because of physician negligence, discuss your legal rights and options with the Waukesha medical malpractice attorneys of Habush Habush & Rottier, S.C.
