April 30th, 2010Finding the right legal advice for your child who suffers from Erb’s Palsy makes all the difference.
The most important step in preventing Erbs Palsy in your child is recognizing the risk factors.
The risk factors for Erbs Palsy, brachial plexus injury or shoulder dystocia can be identified by a trained doctor. The factors to consider before the birth of your child are as follows:
Gestational diabetes, high birth weight babies, overweight mothers or substantial weight gain during pregnancy, short maternal stature, problems with the pelvis (a flat pelvis or contracted pelvis), a pregnancy lasting an extended period (greater than 40 weeks), and extended or protracted second state labor.
If you suspect your obstetrician has not delivered your baby properly or there were mistakes during your delivery or during your pregnancy please call an Erbs Palsy lawyer immediately. Do not delay. The sooner you get the right advice the better the chance of your child receiving the care that is vital to possibly moving towards improvement.
