Birth Injury
Definition:

If the delivery of a baby whose mother's pelvis is too narrow is lengthy, it might cause physical damage or temporary loss of oxygen to the baby, which results in brain damage. When a physician does not act quickly to a patient's needs during labor, or if there is a lack of care during the pregnancy, a birth injury may occur.Consequences of Birth Injury:
Birth injuries may result in devastating effects on the mother and/or child. Birth injuries can leave a child with lifelong paralysis, brain damage, or death. Other birth injuries may include:- Spinal cord damage
- Bone fractures
- Bruising
- Skin irritation and infections
