Have You Suffered One of These Injuries?
You may suffer any type of injury that you could have suffered when you weren’t pregnant. For example, you could suffer from a broken bone or a traumatic brain injury. However, you are also at risk of suffering specific injuries related to your pregnancy, such as:
- Placenta abruption or detachment.
- Hemorrhaging.
- Miscarriage.
- Pre-term labor which can result in permanent disabilities for your child if your child is born too early.
Additionally, both mother and child may be at risk of death from one of the complications listed above or a non-pregnancy related injury.
