What is a Birth Injury?

A birth injury refers to any harm or damage that occurs to an infant during the process of childbirth. These injuries can happen before, during, or immediately after delivery. Birth injuries can range from minor, temporary issues to severe, long-term disabilities, and in some cases, they may even lead to permanent impairment or loss of life.

There are various factors that can contribute to birth injuries, including:

  • Mechanical forces during delivery: The pressure and forces exerted on the baby's body during labor and delivery can sometimes lead to injuries. For example, the use of forceps or vacuum extraction to assist in the delivery may pose a risk of injury.
  • Prolonged or difficult labor: Extended labor can increase the risk of injury as the baby may experience prolonged exposure to pressure and reduced oxygen supply.
