Not all birth injuries involve harm during delivery. There are natural risks that come with childbirth, including decreased blood flow or oxygen. It is the role of the medical provider to know the signs of these issues and monitor the child during labor. Medical mistakes could occur long before delivery as well. If a doctor makes a mistake when adjusting the woman’s medication, it could have a lasting impact on both mother and child. Likewise, if an issue with the child goes undetected in the womb, it can lead to complications during birth.
