Visible crew/equipment: When Thomas J. is leaving from his porch, after Vada tries sneaking him out of his house to go spy on her dad at the Bingo game, if you look down at Thomas J.'S shoes after he steps off the porch, the red tape mark is visible.
My Girl (1991)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake - chronological order
Directed by: Howard Zieff
Starring: Dan Aykroyd, Jamie Lee Curtis, Macaulay Culkin, Anna Chlumsky
Audio problem: At Thomas J's memorial service, Vada goes up to the coffin crying. Just after she says something about his glasses being missing, her father comes up to comfort her. Watch his mouth - he is heard talking but his lips aren't moving at first (they are in the next shot).
Shelly DeVoto: This is Phil, Harry, Gramoo, and Vada Sultenfuss.
Danny: Vada Sultenfuss? Tough break.
Vada Sultenfuss: I like my name.
Question: Is it ever said how Vada's mother died? Harry mentions she met Vada and lived a couple of days after her birth.
Answer: She still died due to complications from childbirth, despite living another couple of days. Hence why Vada believes that she "killed" her mother. Jane Seymour, the third wife of Henry VIII, also died from complications, but she lived for two weeks after.
To add an additional example to your accurate answer, a condition like postpartum pre-eclampsia (extreme hypertension) can occur from a few days to six weeks after giving birth and is sometimes fatal.

It's explained by Harry to Shelly after their first date.
