How Do Neonatal Disorders Influence the Choice of Delivery Method?
Neonatal disorders can necessitate a specific delivery method to mitigate risks and ensure the best possible outcomes for the newborn.
Preterm Birth Preterm birth is a significant concern that can influence the choice of delivery method. In cases of extreme prematurity, a C-section may be recommended to reduce the risk of trauma during delivery.
Congenital Anomalies When a fetus is diagnosed with congenital anomalies such as congenital heart disease or neural tube defects, a C-section may be planned to avoid complications during labor and delivery.
Fetal Distress Fetal distress, indicated by abnormal heart rate patterns or other signs, often necessitates an emergency C-section to promptly deliver the baby and address any underlying issues.
