Birth injuries refer to physical harm that occurs to a baby during the process of childbirth. These injuries can result from various factors, including complications during labor, the use of certain medical instruments, or the baby's position in the womb. Common types of birth injuries include brachial plexus injuries, fractures, and cephalohematomas. Most birth injuries are temporary and heal over time, but some can lead to long-term complications. Medical professionals strive to minimize the risk of birth injuries through careful monitoring and intervention during labor. Understanding the potential causes and types of birth injuries can help parents and caregivers seek appropriate care and support.
