A member asked:
Does amniotic fluid embolism happens during planned c sections?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very rare: An amniotic fluid embolus is when amniotic fluid gets into the circulation while giving birth and eventually blocks an important vessel, such as in the lungs. This is a rare pregnancy complication that occurs in about 1 in 20, 000 to 30, 000 pregnancies.
