Patient's question:
I am in the late stage of pregnancy now. Because my baby's position is not right, the doctor suggested that I have a cesarean section. I heard from others that many babies need to be placed in an incubator, so I feel very sad. After the cesarean section, will my baby also need to be put in it?Doctor's answer:
For babies born via cesarean section, most of them, if full-term and weighing more than 5 pounds, generally do not need to enter an incubator. Incubators are primarily used for premature and low-birth-weight infants. Exceptions include cases where the baby has congenital diseases, or where the baby develops aspiration pneumonia during labor, or has hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. Cesarean section is not easily resolved. It is essential to maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism. Only in this way can one enhance confidence in overcoming cesarean section and believe that recovery is certain.
