Hi there,
Yes, watch your diet. In my case, it did cause breathing problems to the baby after the c-section but he was intubated right away and after 4 days, he was free. He spent a total of 9 days in a special care unit. Just be aware that this could happen because in these cases, baby gets too much glucose, gets too big too soon and the placenta stops providing the nutrients needed for the lung development. My baby needed some surfactant as well. He is doing fine now. This is just for your info.
