What Is Wrongful Birth?
From time to time, through the use of fetal monitoring and ultrasounds or by genetic screening, a physician may recognize a high risk pregnancy or the high potential for birth defects. When that potential exists, it is the responsibility of the physician to inform the mother and clearly explain her options for moving forward or terminating the pregnancy.
When a physician fails to uphold that responsibility, a mother and fetus are at risk for injury or death due to birth complications. If either of these conditions could have been prevented by the physician notifying a mother and explaining her options, the mother may have a case for wrongful birth.
