Birth trauma refers to physical or emotional injuries that a newborn may sustain during the birthing process. Physical trauma can occur due to difficult deliveries, resulting in injuries like broken bones, nerve damage, or brain injuries. Emotional trauma can arise from stressful or traumatic experiences during labor and delivery for both the baby and the parents. This can have lasting effects on the child’s development and well-being. Early intervention and support are important to address any issues that may arise from birth trauma. Understanding and awareness can help in managing potential consequences effectively.
