Because the fat layer is too thick, the anesthesia needle cannot reach the spinal canal, and a dedicated person is required to pull the fat layer apart during the operation. With the assistance of medical staff in the operating room, Ms. Yu, who weighed 150 kilograms, gave birth to a baby girl weighing more than 2.5 kilograms by caesarean section. Experts from Xiangya Hospital remind you to eat properly and exercise during pregnancy, and pay attention to controlling weight gain during pregnancy within 12.5 kilograms.
Ms. Yu from Xiangtan is 30 years old this year. Her pre-pregnancy weight was 140 kg. After pregnancy, her weight increased faster, reaching 150 kilograms at one time. In the 32nd week of pregnancy, Ms. Yu developed gestational hypertension and was in preeclampsia. Her blood pressure was once as high as 170/110 mmHg.
We have taken certain measures to treat pregnancy-induced hypertension and control blood pressure at normal levels. And she specially asked the nutrition department to adjust her diet, both to ensure nutrition and to control the pregnant woman\’s weight so as not to gain weight. According to Dr. Liu Rong from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Xiangya Hospital, through drug control and regular examinations, the woman\’s gestation period was successfully extended from 32 weeks to 36 weeks, which greatly enhanced the child\’s innate physique and fertility chances.

The 150kg heavyweight fat mother made the operation more difficult. The anesthesiologist couldn\’t feel the spinal canal at all on her back. After searching hard, she finally determined where the fat layer was thinnest. However, she still had to push the fat down so that the anesthetic needle could barely reach the spinal canal.
Ms. Yu\’s fat covered her belly, and we had to arrange for someone to pull out the fat layer before the surgery could be performed properly. According to Dr. Liu Rong, because the fat layer is too thick, the surgical incision can only be widened to 9 centimeters so that the baby can come out smoothly and avoid fat blocking the incision.
