Your doctor is not likely to admit that a problem with the handling of the delivery caused your baby to suffer from HIE.
These are some signs that you, as a parent, may have observed:
Your baby appeared very blue and needed to be resuscitated
Your baby was assigned a low APGAR score (used to assess a newborn’s condition, based on reflexes, color, pulse rate, muscle tone, and respiration,)
Your baby suffered seizures in the first day or two of life
Your baby had difficulty nursing
Your baby seemed limp and lacking in muscle tone
