Common Birth Injuries
There are many injuries that can occur during childbirth. Babies will experience a certain amount of birth trauma from the pressure of the delivery. Common birth injuries might include:
- Swollen head
- Broken blood vessels in the eyes
- Mild facial paralysis
- Respiratory complications from inhaling fecal or blood matter
- Broken collar bone
These birth traumas are common and should heal on their own. If any of these injuries develop into a more serious condition or do not heal on their own it may be a good idea to contact a personal injury attorney to determine if a medical error might have occurred during delivery.
