The types of mistakes that can lead to cerebral palsy mostly all relate to a lack of oxygen during birth. Some examples of these are:

  •  Not watching the monitoring strips to recognize when a baby is in distress
  • Failing to order a C-Section when distress is noted on the fetal monitoring strips
  • Causing trauma by not properly using Vacuum suction or forceps during labor
  • Not noticing that labor had progressed, not noticing that mother’s water had broken.

These are not the only reasons, but they are some relatively common examples of what can happen.
