What is fetal distress?
Fetal distress can occur when the unborn baby suffers from a lack of oxygen. Your baby’s distress is usually indicated by an irregular heartbeat.
As with other birth injuries, fetal distress can happen without anyone being to blame, but there are ways in which the risk of fetal distress and its associated damage can be reduced by the medical staff.
A failure to detect fetal distress or act appropriately when it arises can result in avoidable injury and give rise to a medical negligence claim.
