What Are Birth Injuries To Babies?
Birth injuries to babies refer to physical harm or trauma sustained by a newborn during the childbirth process. These injuries can result from medical negligence, improper care, or errors during delivery.
Common Examples of Birth Injuries to Babies:
Cerebral Palsy:
Cerebral palsy is a complex neurological disorder that can profoundly impact individuals who experience it. It often emerges as a result of either oxygen deprivation or trauma that occurs during the process of childbirth. The consequences of cerebral palsy can be far-reaching, affecting not only the child but also their family and caregivers.
Brachial Plexus:
A Brachial Plexus birth injury can occur during childbirth, affecting the bundle of nerves responsible for arm and hand movements. These injuries result from excessive force during delivery and can lead to limited or impaired movement in the affected arm.
Facial Nerve Palsy:
Facial nerve palsy due to birth trauma, this condition affects the facial nerve, causing partial or complete paralysis of certain facial muscles. Common causes include the use of forceps or vacuum extraction and pressure on the baby’s head during birth. Parents may notice asymmetrical facial expressions. Prompt medical attention is crucial for assessing the injury and considering treatment options to support the baby’s recovery.
