Recognizing Possible Signs of Birth Injuries
If you suspect your child may have suffered a birth injury, early detection is key. Be vigilant for these signs:
- Unusual Motor Skill Development: Delays in crawling, grasping, or walking could indicate injury to the brain areas controlling movement.
- Difficulty with Muscle Control: Muscle stiffness, floppiness, spasms, or coordination problems may signal cerebral palsy (CP) caused by a birth injury.
- Umbilical Cord Complications: Issues like cord compression during delivery can cause hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), a serious brain injury from lack of oxygen.
- Abnormal MRI Findings: Brain imaging that shows trauma or oxygen deprivation can point to conditions like CP or HIE.
- Blood Pressure Variations: High or low maternal blood pressure during labor can harm a baby’s brain due to reduced oxygen.
- Seizures: Seizures soon after birth often indicate significant brain injury and may suggest malpractice during labor or delivery.
- Developmental Delays: Lagging in speech, cognition, social development, or motor skills could be a warning sign of a birth injury.
- Breathing Problems at Birth: Difficulty breathing or requiring resuscitation may result from hypoxic injury, affecting long-term health.
Early medical evaluation and intervention are essential. If you recognize any of these signs, consult with a trusted medical professional—and consider speaking with an experienced Tulsa birth injury lawyer about your next steps.
