Natural labor is also very easy to cause amniotic fluid embolism. In general, whether it is natural labor or cesarean section, amniotic fluid embolism may occur. Generally, in the process of natural labor, the mother may show severe vaginal tears, cervical damage, bleeding and other symptoms. At this time, amniotic fluid may enter the maternal blood circulation through damaged blood vessels, thus causing amniotic fluid embolism. In addition, pregnant women may be given oxytocin during normal labor. If the dose of oxytocin is not used properly, or if the injection speed is too fast, it may cause strong uterine contractions and increase the chance of showing amniotic fluid embolism.
