The following video discusses topics such as:
Breach Birth - abnormal presentation of the fetus
Macrosomic babies - large babies
Shoulder Dystocia – shoulder getting stuck on the mother’s pubic bone. This can lead to erb’s palsy (injury to the brachial plexus) and/or cause the child to be deprived of oxygen leading to cerebral palsy
Umbilical Cord Prolapse – this happens when the umbilical cord precedes the child and exits the uterus first. This can cause a lack of oxygen to the fetus resulting in brain damage and cerebral palsy
Umbilical Cord Wrapped around the child’s neck – this can cause a lack of oxygen to the fetus and result in brain damage and cerebral palsy
