Yes. As long as it does not put your child at risk in any way, you should seek medical care and/or a second opinion from another healthcare provider or another healthcare professional within your network. You should only do this if it is advisable from your current healthcare provider.
A birth injury refers to any physical damage a newborn sustains before, during, or soon after delivery.
The majority of birth injuries are not severe and heal naturally over time, but others can be more serious and cause lifelong issues.
Birth injuries are becoming less common due to improvements in medical care, technologies, and prenatal assessments.
However, birth injuries are still prevalent and unfortunately can be the result of medical negligence.
A St Louis medical malpractice lawyer or a St Louis birth injury lawyer can help you to determine whether your child’s injuries were a result of medical negligence.
Birth injuries in St Louis hospitals can occur naturally during the birth process or from medical negligence.
Birth injuries are most common during long or intensive labor, premature births, when the newborn is very large, or when medical practitioners use devices such as a vacuum or forceps.
Some newborns sustain injuries due to medical malpractice. When medical professionals do not take proper precautions, fail to recognize a diagnosis, or make mistakes during labor, the newborn can suffer. Instances of medical negligence that can cause birth injuries are:
Not every St Louis birth injury is a case of medical negligence. Newborns can sustain injuries as a natural part of labor. Natural birth injuries are common during an extended or difficult labor, premature births, births of large newborns, or in breech deliveries.
The most common birth injuries sustained during labor in St. Louis hospitals include:
Brachial palsy is caused by damage to the brachial plexus, the network of nerves that control the hands and arms.
A brachial plexus injury affects a child’s ability to flex or rotate the injured arm.
Brachial palsy can be treated soon after birth with physical therapies and exercises, but the injury can be permanent if the nerves are damaged.
Newborns delivered with forceps or by vacuum extraction can suffer from marks, bruises, and lacerations on their faces and body.
Bruising can also occur naturally from the child coming in contact with the birth canal or the mother’s tissues and pelvic bones.
Caput Succedaneum refers to swelling on the soft tissue of the scalp.
Caput is most likely to develop during vacuum extraction, and the swelling is often paired with scalp bruising.
Cephalohematoma refers to bleeding between the skull bones and their fibrous outer layers.
Cephalohematoma is usually noticeable within a few hours of a child’s birth as a lump on his or her head.
The injury typically heals naturally, but newborns can develop jaundice in instances of severe bleeding.
Excessive pressure on a newborn’s face during birth can cause nerve damage and facial paralysis.
This can result naturally or from inadequate forceps or vacuum use.
Bruised nerves typically heal within a few weeks, but in cases where facial nerves are torn, surgery is often required.
Newborn’s clavicles and collarbones are susceptible to fracturing during delivery.
The bones are likely to break when there are problems delivering the baby’s shoulder or in instances of breech delivery.
Bleeding in the eye’s outer layer is referred to as subconjunctival hemorrhaging.
This injury is common in newborns and appears as a bright red band in the white section of the child’s eye.
The hemorrhaging can cause eye damage, but it typically heals within seven to ten days.
Families whose child suffered a birth injury should seek proper medical care.
Birth injury treatment options include surgeries, medications, and therapies.
Quality birth injury treatment is available at numerous hospitals and medical centers in St Louis:
