A: MUCH MORE INFO NEEDED AND CONGRATS ON THE BABY

THIS IS NOT A FAMILY LAW QUESTION. IT IS A MEDICAL MALPRACTICE QUESTION AND I DON'T HANDLE THOSE CASES.

HOWEVER, TO PREVAIL YOU WOULD HAVE TO PROVE AND NOT THINK OF WHY/HOW SHE GOT IT.

YOU WOULD PROBABLY WANT A MEDICAL EXPERT THAT CAN CONFIRM YOUR SUSPICIONS............
