[quote=Anonymous]This is absolutely farkukte. I am so sorry that this happened to you.

OP, I want to offer a counterexample to help you feel even more strongly that you were being abused by the health care/CPS system so that you will feel bolder about confronting it on the next go-around.

I have a severe anxiety disorder. For a raft of reasons I will not go into here, my MFM, psychiatrist and I decided that maintaining me on a low dose of Klonopin during my pregnancy was part of the best course. This was all in my medical records, just like in yours. I gave birth at the hospital where the MFM practiced. I was not drug-tested. If the baby was, I wasn't told about it. We all knew what withdrawal would look like (the hospital explained it to me and the baby's dad) and we were all on the same team in watching for it. There wasn't any. CPS was not called. The pediatrician visited us in the hospital, they knew the situation, and they didn't make a fuss about it once we were discharged.

What happened to you makes me so angry.

I would definitely consult with a lawyer now--someone who works in this area and can help you figure out a proactive plan to avoid this happening again.

And I would FOR SURE find a different hospital. That may add some complexity because you might be framed as running from the people who "busted you" the first time, but I would never be able to relax or sleep or trust what was going on in that first place again.[/quote]
