What is a birth injury ?​

Birth injuries are physical injuries experienced during childbirth, and can affect either the mother or the baby. In new born babies, a birth injury (often called ‘neonatal birth trauma’) can include many things, from bruising to a broken bone, or more serious conditions such as a brain injury or nerve damage.
