Challenges Faced by Babies in the Early Neonatal Period When Mother Had PPH
Babies face unique challenges in the early neonatal period when their mothers experience PPH. The outcomes vary based on whether the mother survives or not, affecting factors like delayed cord clamping, skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding, and maternal care. Premature birth, birth asphyxia, and normal birth scenarios present different obstacles for the newborn, requiring specialized care and support. Long-term follow-up may be necessary for babies due to potential complications.
