Birth Trauma
Birth trauma refers to physical or psychological injuries that occur to a newborn during the process of childbirth. This can result from various factors, including complications during labor, the use of medical instruments like forceps, or a prolonged delivery. Common physical injuries may include brachial plexus injury or fractures, while psychological trauma can arise from stressful birth experiences.
In some cases, birth trauma can lead to long-term effects on a child's development and health. Early intervention and appropriate medical care are essential for addressing these issues. Parents and caregivers should be aware of the signs of birth trauma to seek timely support and treatment.
