The amniotic fluid is a little cloudy when the due date comes

In the early stages of pregnancy, the amniotic fluid in the pregnant woman's body is not prone to turbidity, but as the fetus continues to grow, the amniotic fluid will become more and more turbid, for example, it will be contaminated by meconium. After the amniotic fluid becomes turbid, some pregnant women want to wait until they choose to give birth naturally, but they don't know whether it will affect their health. So, if a pregnant woman’s amniotic fluid is a little cloudy when her due date comes, can she choose natural birth?

When the due date comes, can a pregnant woman with turbid amniotic fluid wait to choose natural birth?

When the amniotic fluid of a pregnant woman becomes turbid during the due period, whether to choose a natural birth depends on the condition of the fetus. The turbidity of the amniotic fluid is caused by the substances metabolized by the fetus in the amniotic fluid. When the fetus does not have enough oxygen in the mother's body, it will have difficulty breathing. At this time, it is relatively dangerous. Choosing a cesarean section to terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible can reduce the damage to the health of the fetus.

What to pay attention to after cesarean section

After a cesarean section (C-section), the scar on the abdomen will initially appear slightly raised and swollen, and the color will be darker than normal skin color and appear red. At present, most caesarean sections are performed on the lower transverse incision, which means that your scar is a horizontal scar along the bikini line (the edge of the female pubic hair growth area). Within 6 weeks after surgery, the cesarean section scar will be significantly reduced. The surgical incision for cesarean section is only 10.2-15.2 cm long and 0.32 cm wide. As the wound heals slowly, the scar will shrink to 0.2 cm wide.

It is best for pregnant women not to eat within 6 hours after a caesarean section, because during the operation, drugs with anesthetic effects on the nerves will be used, and it takes a process for the digestive function to recover. After eating, the digestive tract may experience bloating. You can eat six walnuts during the confinement period. During the confinement period, you should increase your nutrition, drink more chicken soup and bone soup, eat more vegetables and fruits, drink more warm water, rest in bed more, and do some sports regularly, and your body will be better. Generally, if you choose a natural birth, you should avoid eating cold, spicy, and irritating foods. As long as the milk is not cold, these are all drinkable. It has no effect on pregnant women or their babies.

Pregnant women need to breastfeed their babies, so after giving birth, they should try to reduce the consumption of drinks such as freshly ground coffee and strong tea. These drinks contain caffeine, which can stimulate the nerves after consumption, which is not only bad for the baby's development, but also detrimental to the recovery of the pregnant woman's body. Because the repair of cesarean section scars requires a whole process, therefore, in your daily diet, you should try to reduce the intake of darker foods, such as light soy sauce, to prevent pigmentation.
