Fetal Distress
For many people, the pinnacle of their life is conceiving a child. In order to ensure the health and safety of both mother and child, doctors must administer adequate prenatal care. Unfortunately, this does not always occur, which can compromise both mother and child’s safety. Fetus distress is a condition that may be caused by a number of factors, one of which is doctor negligence.

Causes of Fetal Distress
Although fetal distress can occur under normal circumstances, it is usually the result of doctor negligence. The following conditions may result in fetal distress:
- Lengthy or prolonged labor
- Epidurals
- Improper use of tools, such as forceps or vacuums, during delivery
- Compression of the baby’s umbilical cord
- Lack of blood supply to the baby
- Breached delivery
If your child has suffered because of a doctor’s failure to provide you with satisfactory delivery or prenatal care, he or she should be accountable for the consequences of these actions. Seek the help of an experienced medical malpractice attorney to pursue a legal claim.
