Great suggestions on here. Thinking totally outside the box, what if you gave birth at a birthing center where there might be more privacy? And talk to the people you plan to deliver with ahead of time?  And get your doctor and lawyer on board with prewritten letters that the medication is approved for pregnancy, or that you had this issue before and that you will test negative next time if you decide not to take the medication again, etc.?

NP. I would not take the suggestion of giving birth at a birthing center without a lot of due diligence first. If there is a midwife-run birthing center at the hospital where your MFM/OB has privileges, that's one thing, but certified nurse midwives are also mandatory reporters, and if it were me I'd want to make sure my MFM/OB were on the spot in case any issues of negligence came up again (which they should not, but you've unfortunately been through a terrible and traumatizing experience that, unjustly, will still likely be in CPS' records). Although it is an antiquated belief, many people are not up on the evidence-based medicine about a midwife-centered practice, and mothers who have given birth at birthing centers and have had things go wrong have also been targeted by CPS for negligence in not giving birth in a hospital.

I'm so sorry this happened to you, OP, as well as PP who have been through similar traumatizing experiences. I may not have noticed this in your posts, but I hope you are in therapy or can find a skilled therapist who can help you because what you've been through sounds like it would trigger PTSD in just about anybody.[/quote]
