Reasons Birth Injuries Occur

Any sort of health problem that harms a child but should have been preventable is considered a birth injury. While this is somewhat of a broad definition, there are specific birth injuries that occur more often than others. The root at each one is medical negligence, either in the form of carelessness, unpreparedness, fatigue, or professional ineptness.

The five most common sources of preventable birth injuries include, in no particular order:

1. Twisting or pulling a child during delivery.
2. Inappropriate use of tools used to assist birthing.
3. Dangerous medication use on mother during pregnancy or labor.
4. Improper monitoring of infant’s vitals during delivery.
5. Failed C-section surgery, or lack of using one when necessary.
