It indeed can cause sudden cardiac arrest and a condition called. AFE can be a fatal entity, but — with resuscitation and proper medical care — some women can survive," Minkin explained.
"To explain AFE further, the cells from the amniotic fluid, including things like baby hair and skin, get directly into the mother's bloodstream and travel through the heart and lungs. These fetal tissues go into the blood vessels, and it causes this massive blood pressure shock reaction to these foreign tissues. The baby's tissue does not get stuck in the pulmonary vessels, it is more of an allergic shock reaction that causes the mother's heart and circulation to shut down.
So, how would a person know if they were experiencing AFE during childbirth? Minkin said the best way to describe it is a feeling of impending doom."You can't breathe, you feel like you're going to die, something is massively wrong."
