How Are Birth Injuries Caused?
Birth injuries typically results from complications during pregnancy, labor or delivery. The most serious birth injuries usually occur as a result of oxygen deprivation to the baby which results in severe brain injuries. In some cases, nerve damage occurs during delivery which results in paralysis or other neurological problems. Most birth injuries, such as those occurring due to twisted umbilical cords and a breached (sideways) fetus, can be avoided when competent medical personnel take appropriate actions.
Unfortunately, most birth injuries are ultimately caused due to a failure to timely address problems, such as:
- Failure to perform a c-section
- Overuse of pitocin or oxytocin to induce labor
- Misuse of forceps during delivery
- Failure to diagnose a uterine rupture
- Miscalculating the size of a baby
