More Birth Injury Information
Mothers are not the only ones at risk for injury and even death during the delivery process. Complications during delivery can cause severe, permanent and even fatal birth injuries to newborns. Common types of birth injuries include cerebral palsy, Erb’s palsy and other forms of severe brain damage. Too often these injuries occur because a complication is not recognized in time or a c-section is not performed quickly enough. Many birth injuries can require a lifetime of care and treatment.
Injuries to the baby can occur in many different ways. These can include, but are not limited to:
- Failure to monitor gestational diabetes
- Inappropriate medication during pregnancy
- Failure to properly monitor fetal signs
- Failure to order diagnostic or other testing
- Failure to follow up on vaginal bleeding, pre-term contraction or reduced fetal movement
- Failure to perform a timely performing a c-section
- Misuse of vacuums and forceps
- Failure of hospital staff to alert doctors of fetal distress
- Delay or improper use of anesthesia
