Birth injuries can be caused by different reasons. It may be an accident from delivery or when in labor or even during the process. It could affect the mother, child, or both, and whoever the victim is, there will usually be grounds for complaints. Here are some examples of birth injuries :
- Broken blood vessel in the eye. Subconjunctival hemorrhage or broken blood vessel in the eye is the result of a blood vessel underneath your eye breaking due to force on your eye or a result of a really strong cough or sneeze or the force when you push the child while delivering. Although this is harmless and would disappear within weeks, it is still considered a birth injury as this can be prevented. It is the job of your physician to tell you to pause and breathe before continuing to deliver.
- Bruises, scratches, and lacerations. Giving birth can be an exhausting experience and you would give your all when delivering your child. Sometimes, without proper positioning, you could end up harming yourself. Another issue would be when your physician is irresponsible or neglectful and would either cause harm to you or your baby.
- Even worse than bruises, scratches, and lacerations are fractures. When being delivered, the physician assists the child and pulls them out. This process, if not done properly, could end up damaging or fracturing the fragile infant.
