Does a general anaesthetic affect the fetus if administered just before birth?
The anesthetic affects the fetus as much as it affects the mother.

Once the baby is delivered the anesthetic for the mother is deepened for the abdominal repair. If an anesthetic is required for any other operation, the baby will be affected as much as the mother, but as the mother comes round the baby will also come round.

Everything the mother eats and drinks and smokes goes into the baby - that's how some babies end up being born addicted to stuff.While the above is partially true, the fetus CAN contribute to its own development.more active fetuses are very often also more active childrenfetuses drink the amniotic fluids - the swallowing of these fluids not only helps organs to mature properly, but also contribute to the development of a normal palate due to the tongue movements associated with this drinking and swallowingby moving its chest walls in and out, the fetus is practicing breathing. while it is not actually breathing, but instead inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluids, respiratory readiness is still being promoted
