Complications for the baby during birth

It is not difficult for just the mother but also for the baby during its birth although most babies are naturally born with no complications. In the first place, during labour, as and when there is a labour pain, the baby is deprived of its blood supply and hence the oxygen supply. This will lead to the child having minimal brain dysfunction. Secondly the large head of the baby may undergo far too much of squeezing during its passage through the narrow birth canal. This may cause the soft tissues of the brain and its surrounding membranes to tear and bleed into the brain resulting in permanent brain damage. Also during the passage through the narrow birth canal, the shoulders may be fractured from all the squeezing. Not all deliveries can happen the normal way. Due to all the complications that may happen during birth, doctors perform the caesarean section, a method of surgical delivery. They also use very attractive and hi tech instruments to do all the surgeries but still there is always the risk of damage to the head or shoulders of the baby. It may also happen so that the baby wont cry or breathe as soon as its born which will cause in the failure of various physiological processes to begin.
