Birth Malpractice Includes: 

Fetal distress can be caused by any of several factors, including inadequate uteroplacental support or improper exchange by either the mother or the baby of oxygen and carbon dioxide; severe placental problems caused by high blood pressure (pre-eclampsia) and by diabetes; infection of the uterus or surrounding area; umbilical cord compression; a placental abruption (separation of the placenta from the uterine wall); or a uterine rupture. A uterine rupture is itself a life or death condition for both mother and baby in which every second that delivery is delayed results in additional permanent injury.
