A Brooklyn woman is suing a Manhattan midwife, claiming “gross negligence” led to the loss of her baby.
Chaya Kalmenson was under the care of Cara Muhlhahn, a certified nurse midwife, from May through August 27, 2017, according to the suit, which alleges Kalmenson suffered complications during labor, including a uterine rupture.
The complaint alleges that Muhlhahn “refused, ignored and/or declined to provide midwivery care” during labor.
Kalmenson, who is now “confined to her bed,” sustained “severe and serious personal injuries, a severe shock to her nervous system” and “certain internal injuries,” the suit claims.
The Brooklyn Supreme Court suit seeks unspecified damages. Neither Muhlhahn nor Kalmenson returned messages.
