Complication

Fetal macrosomia is a term assigned for
describing a newborn thats markedly larger in
size than average. According to a general
physician in Panchkula, a baby with a diagnosis
of fetal macrosomia assumes a birth weight of
4000 grams or more irrespective of its particular
gestational age. Roughly 9 percent of babies born
all over the world bring forth fetal macrosomia.

• Nonetheless, the risks accompanying fetal
  macrosomia increase to a great extent when the
  babys weight crosses 4000 grams and reaches 4500
  grams or more.
• Fetal macrosomia may crop up several
  complications in vaginal delivery and possibly
  will increase the risk of injury affecting the
  baby during childbirth.
• Thereafter, fetal macrosomia also makes the baby
  more predisposed to several health problems even
  after childbirth.

• Treatment
• On the off chance, your healthcare provider at a
  top hospital in Panchkula have doubts about fetal
  macrosomia, the possibility of a vaginal
  delivery is dismissed right away.
• While giving birth to a baby at a hospital the
  need for a vacuum device and forceps is
  indispensable in the course of delivery.
• Or the likelihood of a C-section becomes highly
  imminent.
• If a woman develops fetal macrosomia, induction
  of labor which is essentially all about promoting
  contractions of the uterus prior to the labor
  setting in isnt really recommended.
• Research studies indicate that inducing labor
  doesnt always diminish the risk of complications
  associated with fetal macrosomia.
• It might augment the need to go for a C-section.
• Your pregnancy specialist doctor in Chandigarh
  Panchkula might come up with a recommendation
  of a C-section if

• You suffer from diabetes
• In case you had been affected by diabetes before
  your pregnancy or if you have contracted
  gestational diabetes, and at the same time, your
  healthcare provider predicts youre bearing a
  baby having the weight of 4500 grams or more,
  then a C-section is perhaps the safest option to
  consummate your delivery.

• Your baby weighs around 5000 grams and you never
  had a history of maternal diabetes
• Given that you arent suffering from
  pre-gestational or gestational diabetes and your
  healthcare provider puts an estimation of your
  baby weighing around 5000 grams or more, then a
  C-section is the most preferred way of delivery.

7

• You have delivered a baby with shoulder dystocia
• When your baby has its shoulder stuck against
  your pelvic bone and if youve had a prior
  occurrence of such a condition, a C-section is
  then suggested to ward off the risks related to
  shoulder dystocia, for example, a
  fractured collar bone.

• Assuming that your healthcare provider comes up
  with a recommendation of an elective C-section,
  make sure you discuss the allied risks and
  benefits.
• Once your babys given birth to, it will more
  likely pass through several tests to look for
  signs of any birth injuries, hypoglycemia or
  abnormally low blood sugar and polycythemia, a
  disorder of the blood that adversely impacts the
  count of red blood cells.
• The baby might need special care at the neonatal
  intensive care unit (NICU) of the best maternity
  hospital in Chandigarh Panchkula.
• Bear in mind the fact that your baby might be
  more prone to catching childhood obesity and
  resistance to insulin.
• Make sure your babys monitored for these
  specific conditions in the course of future
  health checkups.
• In addition, if you havent had previous diagnosis
  of diabetes, once you give childbirth, your
  healthcare provider at Paras Bliss, the best
  hospital in Panchkula for pregnancy
  will examine your condition. In
  your subsequent pregnancies youll be monitored
  closely for warning signs and symptoms of
  gestational diabetes that comes forth during
  pregnancy.
