What Are the Most Common Birth Injuries?

Birth injuries encompass physical harm or trauma sustained by a newborn during birth or in the immediate aftermath. These injuries can stem from many sources, such as positioning during delivery, actions taken by healthcare providers, or pre-existing medical conditions.

The most common types of birth injuries include:

• Brachial Plexus Injury: BPI affects the nerves controlling the arm and hand muscles, typically caused by excessive pulling or pressure during delivery. It can lead to conditions like Erb’s palsy.
• Cerebral Palsy: A group of neurological disorders that can affect movement, muscle tone, and posture. Cerebral palsy may stem from oxygen deprivation to the baby’s brain during labor or birth.
• Fractures: Broken bones sometimes happen during delivery, especially to the collarbone or clavicle.
• Intracranial Hemorrhage: Bleeding within the baby’s brain, resulting from trauma during birth or the use of forceps or vacuum extraction.
• Facial Nerve Injury: Injury to the facial nerve during forceps or vacuum extraction, leading to facial weakness or paralysis.
• Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): HIE is a brain injury caused by oxygen deprivation during labor and delivery, which can cause developmental and cognitive impairments.
• Perinatal Asphyxia: If the baby does not receive enough oxygen before, during, or after birth, it can cause organ damage or developmental issues.
• Shoulder Dystocia: When the baby’s head passes through the birth canal, but the shoulders become stuck behind the mother’s pelvic bone, increasing the risk of birth injuries.
• Infections: Babies can contract infections during birth, leading to health issues.
• Soft Tissue Injuries: Bruising, lacerations, or other injuries to the baby’s soft tissues can occur during birth.

Medical negligence isn’t the only cause of birth injuries. If errors, negligence, or substandard healthcare providers cause a birth injury, the affected families can seek compensation.

Consulting a medical malpractice attorney can show you if negligence contributed to your child’s birth injury.
