In California, medical malpractice lawsuits by (or on behalf of) a minor child must be commenced within three years from the date of the alleged malpractice, except that lawsuits by (or on behalf of) a child under the age of six must be filed within three years of the occurrence of the malpractice, or prior to the child's eighth birthday, whichever timeline provides a larger filing window.

So for an OB/Gyn it looks like the window is still 8 years according to that paragraph. Which is better than 18, but 8 years from the day they were born is a long time to blame the OB.
