What is What is Erb's Palsy / Shoulder Dystocia?
Shoulder dystocia is a medical term for when a baby's shoulder gets
stuck behind the mother's pelvic bone during childbirth. It is an
obstetric emergency, requiring quick and careful action by the medical
team attending the birth to avoid serious complications. It affects
0.25 percent to one percent of live births each year in the United
States, with the percentage shooting up dramatically in babies with
high birth weights.
