Giving birth is an exciting, overwhelming and emotional experience. It’s time for you to meet your new baby for the very first time. However, a happy birth can be overshadowed by mistakes made by the medical team responsible for your care and your baby’s care and leave your family to deal with birth injuries that could have been prevented.
Conditions commonly caused by birth injuries include:
- Retinopathy
- Cerebral Palsy
- Erb’s Palsy
- Paralysis
- Bruises
- Broken bones or fractures
- Facial paralysis
- Shoulder dystocia
- Brain injuries
- Cephalohematoma
- Brachial plexus injuries
- Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN)
