Information and support in one place.
The Brachial Plexus is a collection of nerves located between the neck and shoulders, chest, arms, hands and feeling in the upper limbs. During a difficult delivery, these nerves can be stretched, compressed or even cause paralysis of the arms. This injury can be caused by the size of the baby, breech birth, a difficult long labour and/or an assisted delivery with a ventouse or forceps. This type of injury is often associated with cases involving shoulder dystocia.
