Giving birth is both an exciting and distressing time for mothers-to-be. Obstetrics is the practice of looking after a mother and child before, during and after pregnancy. The baby should be monitored throughout the pregnancy process to ensure that there are no complications and the same should apply for the mother, to make sure she is healthy so that the pregnancy will go as smoothly as possible.

If medical intervention is required, it is important for the doctor to inform the mother of the risks involved in carrying out the procedure. Unfortunately, this does not always happen and this negligence can cause long lasting effects.

If you would like to start your obstetric procedures claim today please either call us on 0800 524 4349 or use our online contact form.

Common Ante-Natal Complications


There are many complications that can happen in pregnancy including:

•    Ectopic pregnancy
•    Pre-eclampsia
•    Placental abruption
•    Fetal distress
•    Shoulder dystocia
•    Uterine rupture
•    Prolapsed cord
•    Obstetrical hemorrhage
•    Puerperal sepsis

Some of these complications have devastating effects and, in some cases, can cause death.  It is important your doctor advises you of the medical risks involved in pregnancy and if any of these need to be treated. If you feel you have not been properly informed of these risks you may well have a case for a claim.
