A birth injury can occur any point during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and immediately after delivery. Examples of birth injuries include brain injuries, cerebral palsy, erbs palsy or brachial plexus injuries, nerve injuries, and spinal cord injuries. There are various conditions which, if not timely diagnosed and treated, can lead to birth injuries. These conditions include: fetal distress, preeclampsia, hypertension, meconium aspiration, oligohydrominos, maternal infection, pre-term labor, breech delivery, nucal cord, prolapsed cord, and placental abruption. Failing to timely diagnose and treat these conditions can occur from improper training, inattention, poor communication, and other causes.
