Patient's question:
After 24 hours of my daughter's birth, she developed vomiting symptoms accompanied by a small amount of brown liquid, which worsened over time. Three days later, she was transferred to a relevant children's hospital. After X-ray and contrast examinations, she was preliminarily diagnosed with gastric cardia relaxation and gastric volvulus, with suspicion of NEC (neonatal acute hemorrhagic enteritis). After eight days of conservative treatment, she still experienced two episodes of vomiting. The hospital then recommended brain CT and lumbar puncture to investigate neurological issues. Now, our family is uncertain about the exact condition and does not know how to face it. We look forward to your reply!!!Doctor's answer:
??????This is usually due to drinking amniotic fluid. This is a cesarean birth, and the fetus grows immersed in amniotic fluid, so it drinks this. Therefore, newborns will vomit this. There's nothing to worry about. In the following days, the stool will also be black, which is caused by the amniotic fluid. The amniotic fluid is the water where the baby lives, and it urinates and defecates inside it, then consumes it, and then urinates and defecates again. So the amniotic fluid becomes increasingly dirty. Generally, it's just a matter of cleaning it well.
