Birth Trauma

A birth trauma occurs when the birth process is very long or arduous, which leaves the newborn with bruising, edema, fractures, or neuropathies.  The possibility for a birth trauma should be anticipated when the woman has a small pelvic measurement, when the infant seems large for gestational age, or when there is a breech or other abnormal presentation.  The molding of the infant’s head is frequently noted. 

When the risk factors for a birth trauma occurring are greater, proper care and precaution should be put into place.  The number of birth trauma is decreasing due to the improved prenatal diagnosis and monitoring during labor that has helped to prevent neurologic and other birth trauma injuries.  By closely monitoring the baby the medical experts may be able to prevent fetal distress and perform an emergency cesarean section if the fetal distress persists to prevent birth trauma from occurring.  Because of the ability to perform cesarean sections some birth trauma is avoidable because it can replace vacuum extractions or mid or high forceps deliveries.
