A birth injury is damage sustained during the birthing process, typically occurring during transit through the birth canal. A difficult delivery, with the risk of injury to the fetus, may occur if the birth canal is too small or the fetus is too large (as sometimes occurs when the mother has diabetes). Injury is also more likely if the fetus is lying in an abnormal position before birth. Overall, the rate of birth injuries is much lower now than in previous decades.

Many newborns experience minor injuries from the birthing process, with swelling or bruising only in certain areas.
