**3.5 What is the prenatal and delivery history?**

An infant of a diabetic mother has increased risk of hypoglycemia, polycytemia, respiratory distress syndrome and heart disease. Infection, which can occur with premature rupture of membranes, may cause shock and hypotension with resultant cyanosis. Amniotic fluiod abnormalities, such as oligohydramnios ( associated with hypoplastic lungs ) or polyhydramnios ( associated with esophageal atresia ), may suggest a cause for cyanosis. Cesarean section is associated with increased respiratory distress.
