When a newborn child or its mother are injured during pregnancy, labour, or before being allowed back home after a birth, it can be very stressful for the whole family and may call for a birth injury lawyer's expertise.
Some personal injuries can by minor and easily remedied by a few extra days in hospital to rest. However often the damage suffered by the baby or its mother is severe and even life-threatening.
A newborn's immune system is easily attacked by viruses, and its body is much more fragile than an adult's. For this reason it is unfortunately very easy to cause them harm through medical negligence, and this harm could have long-lasting effects.
As well as injuring a baby's bones or muscles, their vital organs could be damaged. For instance, if midwives or doctors fail to notice, during a birth, that the baby is becoming starved of oxygen due to an unforeseen complication, then the newborn may suffer from brain damage.
Although a newborn is much more delicate than an adult, a pregnant woman, or one who has recently given birth, should also be carefully monitored and treated with care.
Not enough rest, tears in the lining of the uterus, or infection of a caesarean scar, could all lead to health problems for the woman if these are not spotted by hospital staff and operated on or medicated in a timely and correct fashion.
