Stomach Injuries

Irritability to a baby''s stomach after birth is common because of the great amount of trauma the labor and delivery can have. Babies have much more vulnerability to injury because they have not developed protective exteriors like adults yet. The thinner musculature on the abdominal wall can open up a baby to risks of stomach injuries that can injure the organs beneath.

When stomach injuries are suffered to the upper portion of the abdomen, injury to the spleen and liver can occur as well. A baby''s rib flexibility allows increased susceptibility to the upper abdominal structures so that when stomach injuries occur the underlying organs, such as the spleen and liver, can more easily be impacted. Birth involves compression, contractions, torques and traction, all of which combined with any other factors increase risks of birth injuries like stomach injuries.
