Premature Delivery

When parents are expecting a baby, their excitement is almost too much to bare, which is why waiting out the 38 week gestation period can be excruciating.  After the 36 - 38 week period, parents expect that their infant will be delivered and hopefully, be in perfect health.  Unfortunately, there are a large number of infants that are born well before the 38 week period has passed.  When this happens, infants are at risk for having medical conditions as some of their organs and bodily systems will not be fully developed. 

Babies that are born early (before 36 weeks) are considered "premature".  If babies are born before 24 weeks, they are considered extremely premature as most hospitals consider 24 weeks as the cutoff period for babies to be viable.  While infants that are born between 25 - 36 weeks have a higher chance for survival, they may still have several physical disabilities due to their premature births.  These disabilities may range from cerebral palsy to impaired learning.

Sometimes, premature births occur without warning or signs.  In these types of situations, mothers may go into labor unexpectedly and their physicians will have to do everything possible to protect their babies' health by closely monitoring the mothers and the infants.  Other times, the signs that mothers will deliver prematurely may be obvious, but remain undetected by physicians.  With these types of cases, if mothers have premature deliveries and their babies incur birth injuries as a result, they may hold their medical professionals accountable.  

A Birth Injury Lawyer Can Help

Anytime mothers have gone into labor prematurely and their infants have been injured or have died, they should take the time to meet with a qualified birth injury lawyer.  In cases where parents believe premature deliveries resulted from medical negligence, it is imperative that they discuss their cases with an experienced legal professional who can be of immense assistance.
