Birth injuries can be caused by multiple factors, including:
- Prolonged Labor: Extended labor increases the risk of complications. - Macrosomia: Babies with a high birth weight are more likely to experience birth injuries. - Maternal Health Conditions: Conditions like diabetes can increase the risk. - Instrumental Delivery: Use of forceps or vacuum extraction can sometimes lead to injuries. - Breech Birth: Babies delivered in a breech position are at higher risk.
