• Erb's palsy: Often referred to as brachial plexus injury. Results when the baby's nerves in the shoulder and neck area are stretched during delivery. Symptoms include a weakness in the arm.
• Facial paralysis: Often results when forceps apply pressure to the baby's face during delivery.
• Shoulder Dystocia: Results when the baby's shoulders fail to deliver immediately after the head. It can result in a cutoff of oxygen to the brain if the umbilical cord tangles or compresses in the birth canal.
• C-section surgical errors : A cesarean section delivery is a surgical procedure. With any surgical procedure, you rely on your doctor and hospital staff to ensure that errors are not made, including medication errors and infections are controlled.
