“…However, there is reason to suspect that infants delivered via C-section are at increased risk for NH. Potential mechanisms that might mediate this association include delayed lactogenesis, delayed skin-to-skin and impaired thermoregulation (6,15,16). These results lay the groundwork for future studies to better understand the factors that link C-section delivery to NH and more importantly, studies that will test interventions aimed at preventing NH following c-section delivery.…”

Maternal obesity and cesarean section delivery: additional risk factors for neonatal hypoglycemia?

et al. 2019

Objectives: To determine 1) whether higher maternal body mass index (BMI) and Cesarean (C) Section mode of delivery are associated with neonatal hypoglycemia (NH) and 2) whether timing of NH onset differs by risk factors. Study Design: Retrospective cohort study (n=4602) to determine the odds of NH, NH requiring IV dextrose and timing of NH onset among infants with established and plausible (BMI and C-section) risk factors. Result: Infants born to class III obese mothers had higher odds of NH (OR 1.3, 95% CI 1.0–1.8) and of requiring IV dextrose (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.2–3.9). Infants born via C-section had higher odds of requiring IV dextrose (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.1–1.9). Infants who were delivered to high BMI mothers and by C-section developed NH earlier than the reference group. Conclusion: Determining the predictors and timing of NH onset may help develop tailored evaluation and management strategies for at-risk neonates.

“…A recent study investigated if immediate SSC after cesarean birth had an effect of the transfer rate of newborns to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for observation. 7 A significant reduction was found, reducing the number form 5.6%–1.75%. These new care routines are not only important for the patient's wellbeing but also for improving health economics.…”

Early pandemic guidance was that mothers with COVID-19 should be separated from their babies immediately to avoid perinatal transmission. [1][2][3] However, emerging evidence has shown that placental, amniotic fluid and breast milk samples are usually virus-free. Newborn infections are uncommon, not severe and usually come from contact with infected carers or family. [4][5][6][7] Unnecessary separation increases crowding in clinical areas, including neonatal intensive care units (NICU), and exposes newborn infants to contact with potentially contaminated staff, surfaces and unrelated infants. 8 Although COVID-19 increases prematurity and maternal intensive care admissions, most infected women have a mild disease. 9 Therefore, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that early essential newborn care (EENC), including prolonged skin-to-skin contact (SSC), rooming-in and exclusive breastfeeding, are used when stable mothers have COVID-19, because of strong associations with improved maternal and newborn outcomes. 10,11 Despite this, policymakers and clinicians often recommend early separation to avoid perceived transmission risks.By 16 February 2021, there had been 2269 confirmed virus cases and 35 deaths in Vietnam. 12 Only three were pregnant women
