Fetal distress is a condition in which the fetus lacks oxygen during pregnancy or labor. There are two groups: acute fetal distress and chronic fetal distress. Acute fetal distress refers to sudden fetal distress. If not treated promptly, the fetus will have brain problems or even death. So, what do mothers need to know about acute fetal distress?

Amniotic fluid is a component that helps the fetus maintain normal development throughout pregnancy in the mother's womb. In many cases, green amniotic fluid and yellow amniotic fluid cause many dangerous complications for both mother and baby.

Acute fetal distress during labor is a life-threatening condition for the fetus, the health of the fetus, and the future mental and motor development of the child. Acute fetal distress is the cause of 1/3 of perinatal deaths. The consequences of acute fetal distress are difficult to assess because there are consequences of irreversible brain damage that only manifest many years later, at school age.

An elective cesarean section is a cesarean section performed before labor begins. The mother’s recovery time will be longer than a vaginal birth, and the surgery can cause many complications for both mother and baby.

Epidural anesthesia is currently one of the effective pain relief methods during labor that many mothers choose when giving birth. However, it is important to understand the benefits and possible risks before choosing this method.
