In fact, for pregnant mothers, the process of vaginal delivery may experience a variety of risks, among the many risks, one of which makes doctors very jealous, that is, the number one enemy of vaginal delivery - amniotic fluid embolism.
You may think that amniotic fluid embolism seems to be far away from us, because it is rare to hear of pregnant women around us in such a situation during labor, but in fact, if pregnant mothers do not pay attention during pregnancy, it is likely to lead to the aggravation of this risk.
Case: The prenatal doctor assessed that the risk of amniotic fluid embolism was high, and after childbirth, he thought he had avoided it, but the danger came
Ms. Chen is 46 years old this year, which is medically a situation of ultra-advanced childbirth, when the doctor did the risk assessment before delivery, it was recommended that Ms. Chen preferably use the method of caesarean section, which can reduce the possibility of amniotic fluid embolism.
However, Ms. Chen feels that the probability of amniotic fluid embolism is so low, how can it happen to herself, and she has not had children, the first birth is also a smooth birth, and she does not feel particularly tormented, so she still stubbornly chooses a smooth birth.
On the day of delivery, after Ms. Chen entered the delivery room, in the process of childbirth, Ms. Chen felt that everything was still relatively smooth, and she also successfully gave birth to a baby of more than six pounds. After the delivery, the doctor arranged for Ms. Chen to observe in the delivery room for an hour, and Ms. Chen was also relieved at this time, thinking that she had escaped.
But unexpectedly, less than half an hour later, Ms. Chen began to feel uncomfortable throughout her body, and her breathing began to become uncomfortable, and the doctor observed Ms. Chen's state at the first time, and also rescued her urgently, fortunately, she finally pulled Ms. Chen back from the "ghost door".
After Ms. Chen recovered her state, she was very happy and grateful to the doctor. I was also very afraid that if I had followed the doctor's caesarean section advice at that time, I might not have experienced this risk now.
01 The "number one enemy" amniotic fluid embolism of natural production, these precipitating factors are best less contact
Amniotic fluid embolism refers mainly to the entry of amniotic fluid and other tissues into the mother's blood circulation system during childbirth, causing a variety of dangerous changes, which is one of the most serious birth complications in obstetrics and gynecology. Therefore, it is necessary to do a popular science for pregnant mothers, hoping that pregnant mothers can be psychologically prepared.
In fact, there are many factors that induce amniotic fluid embolism, among which, as mentioned in the above case, if the maternal age is in the ultra-advanced age stage, then the possibility of amniotic fluid embolism will increase a lot. Moreover, ultra-old women face not only amniotic fluid embolism, but also various other pregnancy complications, which may seriously endanger the safety of maternal and fetal babies.
Secondly, if the woman has an emergency birth at the beginning, it is actually very easy to have a rushed birth. Emergency delivery itself is a dangerous thing, so it can induce amniotic fluid embolism. Previously, many pregnant women felt complacent because of their fast delivery process, in fact, this idea is wrong, and they often find that the doctor is more serious, because it may cause the amniotic fluid embolism symptoms that make the doctor feel tricky.
Of course, most of the above factors are relatively uncontrollable, and some factors can actually be controlled by pregnant mothers through more attention during pregnancy. For example, pay more attention to protection before pregnancy, reduce the occurrence of unexpected pregnancies, and terminate pregnancy through abortion and other methods. In general, women who have had a history of multiple terminations of pregnancy are actually more likely to have amniotic fluid embolism during childbirth, whether it is a vaginal birth or a caesarean section.
In addition, if the woman has already had multiple births, then in this case, their uterus will function worse than other pregnant women's uterus, and there may be a history of "injury" and more likely to rupture during childbirth, resulting in an increased likelihood of amniotic fluid embolism.
Pregnant mothers should also be reminded here that amniotic fluid embolism can occur not only during labor, but also within two hours after delivery, which is why doctors should leave women in the delivery room for about two hours after giving birth. Mothers should not feel rejected or impatient, and the desire to go out early is understandable, but these risks must be eliminated first.
Of course, water embolism does not only occur during childbirth, if women have termination of pregnancy, induction of labor, etc., in fact, in this process, there is also a certain possibility of amniotic fluid embolism, and women who have a history of amniotic fluid embolism are more likely to reappear during labor.
Conclusion: Pregnant mothers should not worry too much during pregnancy, pay attention to the details of all aspects of daily life, pay attention to their own state, if there is any abnormal situation, go to the hospital for treatment, diagnosis and treatment at the first time, so as to reduce the risk of amniotic fluid embolism to a certain extent.
