Birth is a normal part of the cycle of life. However, birth is certainly capable of becoming our first trauma. Even an uncomplicated natural delivery can leave some residual strain in a baby’s body. In the event of a prolonged labour, a fast labour, or interventions such as forceps, ventouse or Caesarian section, a baby can experience adverse side effects. Misshapen head, haematomas, facial bruising, torticollis and clavicle fractures are just some of the possible physical results.
