Poorly controlled gestational diabetes can lead to serious health consequences for both mother and child.

Forceps are sometimes used to deliver babies when birth complications arise. It is important for women to know the potential risks to both mother and child during forceps assisted births.

A $3.75 Million Settlement was recently approved for a child with mild Cerebral Palsy, Mental Retardation & developmental delays. Attorneys Jesse M. Reiter and Juliana Sabatini Plastiras said the child suffered brain damage at birth. The drug Cytotec was used to induce labor and neither the mom or baby responded well. Had the doctors performed the C-section earlier, the baby's brain damage could have been prevented, explained Jesse Reiter. The child will need lifelong care as a result.
