Events Associated with a Birth Injury

Some of the problems encountered during pregnancy or childbirth that may contribute to a birth injury include:

Changing fetal condition during labor, particularly changes in fetal heart rate.
Changing conditions of the mother during pregnancy. For example: change in blood pressure, use of Magnesium Sulfate, seizures.
Failure of medical staff to order or interpret specific tests during pregnancy.
Failure of medical staff to perform a cesarean section early enough during labor so that damage as a result of fetal distress, infection or trauma is not prevented.
Failure to obtain a complete medical history, including a history of your family or hereditary conditions applicable to you.
Vaginal birth after cesarean section.
Preterm delivery - this certainly is not always preventable, but doctors and hospitals can do a great deal to lessen the risk of harm to the baby by dealing with the problem properly.
Taking longer than 30 minutes to deliver your baby after a cesarean section is called.
Shoulder dystocia: the baby's shoulders get stuck after the head is delivered.
