Patient's question:
Doctor, I want to ask that when the amniotic fluid broke at 36 weeks, there was no movement for a long time. In the end, we had to decide on a C-section. The baby was born through surgery. The doctor said there was difficulty breathing in the womb, but when I woke up at the moment of birth, I heard her crying very loudly. This should not be a symptom of difficulty breathing in the womb, right? Then, what kind of trouble will difficulty breathing in the womb cause for the child in the future? However, on the second day of birth, while feeding the jaundice-reducing medication, she choked, resulting in her lips turning purple?Treatment history and effectiveness: We noticed that there was no problem, so we didn’t enter the neonatal ward. What kind of help do you need: What kind of trouble will it bring later, and what kind of diseases might reappear?
Doctor's answer:
Intrauterine breathing difficulty, which means the fetus is choking on water inside the uterus. If the baby's brain is deprived of oxygen for 4 minutes, it can cause irreversible brain damage. However, I think there must have been a fetal heartbeat at the time—it was just the rate. So, this is likely an inaccurate expression from the doctor that caused your concern. If there was truly breathing difficulty, there would be no crying, and treatment would be necessary, using drugs like nikethamide to stimulate the respiratory center, to enable breathing. This is my advice regarding the question "What are the disease symptoms that intrauterine breathing difficulty can bring to the child?" I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
