Birth injuries are usually due to complications during labor and delivery. Birth injuries range from mild to severe, from bruising to permanent disability. The most common types of birth injuries include bruising and forceps marks, facial paralysis, brachial palsy injuries, fractured bones, and brain damage due to oxygen deprivation. While birth injuries can occur in very simple deliveries, they most often occur during difficult labors. An infant’s large size or a mother’s pelvis’ small size may contribute to a difficult labor which may lead to birth injuries. In addition, difficulty in passing through the birth canal (such as shoulder dystocia) and the baby’s position may also complicate the delivery process and lead to potential birth injuries.
