Types of Birth Injuries
All birth injuries are upsetting news to the new parents of a child. Unfortunately,
most of the birth injuries are completely avoidable and many occur when
doctors fail to perform delivering procedures properly. The main types
of injuries that can occur during the birth/delivery process are injuries
from trauma and injuries from a lack of oxygen to the brain. When serious
brain injury occurs, a child is at serious risk for suffering the effects
for the rest of their life. Below is a list of some of the most common
birth injuries.
-
Cerebral palsy:
This is caused when brain damage occurs before birth. A damage to the brain
may occur if the baby suffers from some kind of oxygen deprivations in
the brain. However, this injury may occur in other ways as well. This
injury results in impaired muscle coordination, partial paralysis, and
other impairments.
-
Erb’s palsy:
This an injury that causes paralysis to the arm or the upper group of the
arm’s nerves. Often, this occurs when a doctor forcefully manipulates
the baby through the birth canal and damages the baby’s arms or
upper body.
-
Bone Fractures:
Complicated or prolonged
deliveries can lead to bruising and more serious injuries, such as bone
fractures. In some cases, careless or negligent medical professional cause
these injuries by using too much force during labor and delivery.
Many other birth injuries can affect the baby’s life, creating respiratory
problems, impairment of senses, paralysis, and more. No matter what the
