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.
