Birth Asphyxia
Birth asphyxia is a common birth situation where an infant does not receive enough oxygen before, during, or immediately following birth. Birth asphyxia can cause severe physical problems, including brain damage and conditions such as cerebral palsy. Birth asphyxia can be caused by a number of factors. It can stem from health problems associated with the mother to a lack of quality medical care given during the birthing process.
Signs of Birth Asphyxia
- Unstable, erratic or falling fetal heart rate

- Placenta problems
