BIRTH DEFECTS
|
Babies are more vulnerable to birth defects while they are in the womb. For that
matter, mothers need to take extra care of themselves and their baby(s) while
they are pregnant. Taking care of oneself starts from choosing the right
caretaker.
Any carelessness by the mother herself or due to an irresponsible medical practitioner, during
pregnancy, can cause a birth defect in a child, which in turn can cause severe damage to the
child's normal life. There are some responsibilities that a medical practitioner needs to follow
to avoid any birth defects. One primary responsibility e adequate vitamins, calcium and iron supplements.
Similarly, many birth defects could occur during delivery. These could be bruises and lacerations on the face or other part of the baby's body, due to use of forceps blades, skull fracture due to the use of ventose, spine fracture and long bones of shoulder, clavicle and thigh due to application of excessive force.
When babies are born with birth defects, oftentimes parents feel that something must have gone wrong during pregnancy. Often times they forget to see if the medical practitioner has been careless. If you feel that the prenatal testing, care and/or delivery of your child was not handled properly, you have the right to fight for compensations.
