Maternal risk: Your history of eczema and allergies place your child at higher chance of atopic conditions. Males are born with more narrow airways which makes them more likely to wheeze with certain illnesses. As the airway grows this effect is less prominent. Amniotic fluid embolism is associated with other risk factors included in this link: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/amniotic-fluid-emboli
