My aim is to deliver thorough clinical reviews, empower clients to challenge substandard opinions”.
What Are Birth Injuries to Mothers and When Can You Claim?
A birth injury to a mother is any physical harm sustained during labour or delivery. While some injuries are unavoidable, many can be prevented with proper care. When medical professionals fail to provide the right treatment, for example, by missing warning signs, using instruments incorrectly, or delaying vital intervention.
You may be able to make a claim if:
Your injury was caused or made worse by mistakes in medical care.
Warning signs during pregnancy or labour were ignored or acted on too late.
Incorrect procedures or techniques were used during delivery.
Postnatal care was inadequate, leading to complications that could have been avoided.
Common Birth Injuries Mothers Suffer
Perineal tears and episiotomy injuries – where severe tears or poorly managed
Pelvic floor damage – which can cause ongoing discomfort, bladder or bowel problems.
Nerve or spinal injuries – sometimes caused by anaesthetic errors or complications during delivery.
Incorrect use of forceps or ventouse can result in trauma, internal injuries, or long-term complications.
Delayed treatment or mismanagement – including failure to act quickly during labour, missed signs of complications, or errors in postnatal care.
