Many expectant parents are overjoyed at the arrival of their little one. They plan, months in advance, for their new baby, hoping to sail through the delivery and the maiden moments of their baby’s life. But, for some parents, delivery doesn’t go as smoothly as they had hoped.

Complications during pregnancy and childbirth can have mild to adverse effects on a new-born. Kenyan vlogger Chantelle Petit recently gave details about her troubled labour and delivery which led to her baby suffering from birth asphyxia – it comes about when the baby doesn’t get enough oxygen during the labour process, as described by Healthline.
