Pregnant woman dies 10 days after caesarean section

Death ten days after caesarean section may be related to heart disease, severe hypertension, pulmonary embolism, puerperal infection and other diseases, among which puerperal infection is the most common. Therefore, if the wound heals poorly, there is a fever, irregular vaginal bleeding or lower abdominal pain after cesarean section, you should go to the hospital immediately, pay attention to keeping the wound site and vulva clean, avoid sexual intercourse, and do not take a sitz bath to prevent postpartum infection. Pregnant women with heart disease or hypertension should be hospitalized only after their condition is under control.

The choice between natural birth and cesarean section is a decision that must be made after careful analysis of the actual situation. Of course, between the two, it is best for pregnant women to choose natural birth, but if they have to choose cesarean section, then why death still occurs after cesarean section and how to deal with it? When is the best time to have a cesarean section? Let’s take a look together.

When is the best time to have a cesarean section?

If you want to have a cesarean section early, you can do it at 37 weeks. You can do it when the fetus is full-term, that is, you can have the operation at 38 weeks. Pay attention to rest before the operation and don't need to eat. It's best to wait until the baby is started before having a cesarean section. In addition, if the mother has the criteria to choose a natural birth, she should still consider choosing a natural birth, because a cesarean section is much riskier than a natural birth. If the pregnant woman has no complications and wants a cesarean section, the delivery date can be advanced by one to two weeks, that is, from 38 to 39 weeks of pregnancy. It is best to have a caesarean section 7-10 days in advance, but 6 days in advance is acceptable.

Caesarean section is a key surgical treatment in the obstetrics profession. Due to the development of anesthesiology, intravenous injection, intravenous drip, water and electricity balance knowledge, as well as surgical methods, improvement of surgical suture materials and infection control measures, cesarean section has become an effective way to deal with dystocia and some obstetric complications, and save the lives of pregnant women and perinatal babies. Natural childbirth is a natural and physiological way of delivery. Pregnant women can recover quickly after childbirth, and newborn babies can better adapt to the external environment. Caesarean section is a surgical treatment in which the uterus is opened through the abdomen to remove the fetus.

The rates of intraoperative bleeding, postoperative thrombosis, placenta previa and uterine rupture in subsequent pregnancies among pregnant women undergoing cesarean section are much higher than those among pregnant women undergoing natural delivery. In addition, the rates of respiratory abnormalities and amblyopia in newborns delivered by cesarean section are higher than those in newborns delivered naturally, and their resistance is much lower than that of newborns delivered vaginally. Caesarean section without medical conditions not only fails to reduce perinatal mortality, but increases the post-Caesarean morbidity and maternal mortality rate. Therefore, Caesarean section should not be performed without medical conditions. Therefore, if there is no problem, it is better to choose natural delivery, which is a better choice for both the baby and the pregnant woman.

How many days in advance is the best for caesarean section

It is best to have a cesarean section 10 days in advance, and the timing of the next cesarean section should be chosen appropriately. If it is too early, the fetus will not survive, but if it is too late, it may cause uterine rupture or fetal stillbirth. The best time to choose a cesarean section is the 39th week of pregnancy, because at this time the fetal organs are normally complete, and there is less chance of emergency cesarean section due to pain, rupture of amniotic fluid, etc. Babies born during this period are at lower risk of various diseases than those born by caesarean section at 37 or 38 weeks. Generally, the pregnancy period is about 40 weeks, but the fetus is usually full-term at 37 weeks, so the best time for a cesarean section is at 39 weeks.

Common problems of second-born cesarean section

1. Wound care. After a cesarean section, you should pay attention to the medical care of the wound, especially the wound should be well cared for to prevent infection. If you have fever, swelling or other symptoms, you should go to the hospital immediately for medical treatment.

2. Avoid large movements. Pregnant women should try not to make big movements after giving birth. Even when coughing or laughing, they should support the wound or use a pillow to press against the stomach, so that the pain will be relieved.

3. Observe the condition of postpartum lochia. After cesarean section, you should pay attention to observe the lochia of the parturient. The lochia of the parturient will decrease with the passage of time, and the color will change from red to light pink, and finally to milky white. Observing the lochia after giving birth is a must for every pregnant woman who has a cesarean section.
