They were really apologetic and the case has been taken up by the trust and now when I have my baby delivered by c section next week that a paediatrician will be carrying out tests on him...

I’ve had quite a few growth scans carried out every 4 weeks throughout the pregnancy so I’m hoping something would of been picked up?
