Patient's question:
What are the risks for the baby after a Cesarean section at 28 weeks due to low placenta? Since it was a late pregnancy, there was relatively less amniotic fluid when it was close to delivery, so a Cesarean section had to be performed. This means that in addition to the difficulty in healing my own wounds, what potential side effects could there be for the baby? Would a baby delivered vaginally be healthier?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, if the placenta is positioned relatively low, it is necessary to decide on a cesarean section because the placenta will obstruct the fetal head's entry into the pelvis and its ascent. In this case, it is absolutely not possible to have a vaginal delivery because a low-lying placenta is prone to rebleeding, which is dangerous for both the mother and the fetus. Therefore, a cesarean section has no impact on the fetus. For severe cases of cesarean section, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Avoid changing medications arbitrarily, otherwise, the effect will be counterproductive. Thank you.
