Deeply understand this delicate issue and its long-lasting potential repercussions is critical whether you’ve just become a new parent or are planning to expand your family.

Birth injuries refer to damage inflicted on an infant during the birthing process – generally the result of complications during labor and delivery. Some common forms include Cerebral Palsy, Erb’s Palsy (Brachial Plexus Birth Injury), Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE), also known as birth asphyxia, physical trauma often caused by breech presentations or prolonged, complicated labor and infections passed from mother to child.

• Cerebral Palsy: It’s primarily associated with brain damage suffered before, during or shortly after birth. Cerebral palsy can impair a child’s movement coordination.

• Erb’s Palsy: Affects one or two in every thousand children born each year. Primary cause is excessive pulling or force applied to an infant’s head during childbirth.

• HIE: This condition arises due to lack of adequate oxygen supply causing injury or damage to the baby’s developing brain at birth.

• Physical Trauma: Though rare in natural births thanks to the flexibility of infant skulls but can occur with use of certain medical equipment such as vacuum extractors or forceps et al.,

• Infections: Certain maternal infections if undiagnosed could lead to severe consequences for newborns. Examples include Group B Streptococcus infection (GBS) and Herpes simplex virus (HSV).

Often these injures have devastating medium-long term effects not only for affected children but their families too; causing significant health issues that may require ongoing treatment rests heavily on families both emotionally and financially.

If your child has suffered a birth injury it is indeed traumatizing.
