What causes liver enlargement in the fetus?
Patient: hi Doc, I am 29 years old and weight 95 kgs. I had a baby last month and she died soon after the birth due to the liver enlagrement that is what my doc says. My due date was 12 may and i got operated on 16 may i dint get and pains for delivery so i got operated. when the baby born, baby had passed stool inside my womb ans it has already drank. please i want to know the reason for its death... and the reason for the liver enlargement. please reply me doc i want know will it effect the 2 nd kid..? Doctor: hi!! I can understand your concern. in my opinion you had a post dated pregnancy which might be the reason for passage of stool in utero. but that is not necessarily related to the liver enlargement that your doctor mentioned. liver enlargement could be a congenital problem which needs proper investigation. there is a risk of recurrence of this issue in your next pregnancy so I would advise you consult your doctor in your next issue.
