You might have a valid medical malpractice claim and should consult with an attorney with experience handling such cases immediately.

It certainly sounds like the doctor at the first hospital should have done something more if they knew you were pregnant. If the doctor breached the standard of care in treating you, then her failure to act would be considered negligent. The second part of these cases is proving that you are worse off because of the doctor's negligence. In other words, you would have to show that the delay of two days in being treated worsened your condition significantly. If a medical malpractice attorney thinks your case is worth pursuing, they will have a medical expert review your records. The best thing to do is contact an experienced medical malpractice attorney in your area and ask for a consultation.
