Hi,

During fetal life, pulmonary pressure always raised. In most of the cases, it improves rapidly after birth, didn't require any support, in some cases oxygen support required for few time, also some baby require injectable medication to improve. It needs fetal 2d echo report to categorize the disease of the child.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
