Birth injuries are unfortunate and can occur due to a variety of factors, including medical malpractice, fetal distress, and even genetic conditions. Some common synonyms for birth injury include neonatal injury, obstetrical trauma, birth trauma, birth defect, and perinatal injury. These terms are often used interchangeably and refer to any injury or harm that occurs to an infant during delivery or labor. While these injuries may range in severity, they can have lifelong consequences and can impact a child's physical, cognitive, and emotional development. It is vital for medical professionals to take all necessary precautions to prevent birth injuries and ensure the safety and well-being of both mother and baby.
