Like every organ in the human body, the brain needs a constant supply of oxygen-rich blood to survive.  If the brain fails to get enough oxygen, it begins to die.  Sometimes during the birthing process an unborn baby will not get enough oxygen.  This is called fetal distress .  If an unborn baby with fetal distress is not immediately delivered, the lack of oxygen can result in permanent brain damage.  This brain damage can result in Cerebral Palsy.
