What to do After a Birth Injury

While some birth injuries may not become apparent for months or years, it is important to consult medical professionals if you suspect your child was injured during a difficult birth. Prompt treatment as soon as a birth injury is identified is critical — if caught early on, you have a greater risk of minimizing a its negative effects through treatment options like physical therapy and surgery. You also lessen the chance your child may develop further limitations if his or her condition worsens.
