Birth Injuries Strike the Most Innocent of Victims
Expectant mothers and their babies rely on medical professionals to give them the care they need. Birth injuries can happen when those doctors, nurses, midwives, and hospitals fail.
Before a baby is born, it’s crucial for doctors to identify and treat any conditions that arise like:
- Serious maternal medical conditions, like diabetes, high blood pressure, and infections
- Signs the baby is not growing as expected
- Abnormal heartbeats
- Decreased fetal activity
- Abnormal fetal presentation (breech)
- Risk of premature delivery
During labor and delivery, situations arise that could harm the baby if medical professionals quickly provide the proper care:
- Fetal monitors could show that the baby is in fetal distress
- Oxygen deprivation could cause irreversible brain damage (Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy or HIE); causing Cerebral Palsy
- A medical emergency with the mother, like a stroke or excessive bleeding, threatens the baby's blood and oxygen flow
- The baby might need to be delivered by emergency C-section due to fetal distress
Finally, babies can suffer birth injuries after they are born when doctors and nurses don’t treat the following conditions:
- Jaundice and kernicterus that requires phototherapy
- HIE-related brain damage that might require hypothermia therapy
- Fetal hypoglycemia that requires close attention to the baby’s blood glucose levels
- Brachial palsy (nerve damage to harms and hands) that requires physical therapy
