What Are Birth Injuries?

A birth injury is defined as any harm a baby sustains before, during, or just after the delivery process. Some injuries are unfortunate and unavoidable complications, but many are the direct result of medical negligence or error.

Common causes of preventable birth injuries include:

• Failure to respond to signs of fetal distress
• Delayed emergency C-sections
• Oxygen deprivation during a difficult labour
• Improper use of delivery tools like forceps or vacuums
• Mismanagement of a high-risk pregnancy

These situations can cause devastating, lifelong conditions such as Cerebral Palsy, brachial plexus injuries (like Erb's palsy), and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). These conditions often require a lifetime of specialized care, therapy, and medical support.
