You may have a claim. But, medical malpractice lawsuits are complex. Only another physician can say what the standard of care is for the procedure that you underwent. Your situation needs to be thoroughly evaluated in a confidential consultation where you can learn about your legal rights and options.

I don't think you have a viable case honestly.
Even if we assume you consented to an operation and they didn't perform it (or they performed it and it wasn't successful, which happens with tubal ligation), you have a healthy baby. There is no jury in the world who would give you money for "damages" that many people would give up a lot to have.
I'd confirm all this with a lawyer who has reviewed your records, but the damages part is where I get stuck.

Gather records and consult with a local personal injury. Please remember not every medical procedure is perfect
