Good evening Nairalanders. I decided to Create this new account to stay anonymous.
Long story short, my wife delivered our daughter a few days ago and she was diagnosed for “moderate birth asphyxia” because she couldn’t cry out loud after birth and didn’t breath well. according to the gynecologist, she came out very weak and a bit blue.

This was quite devastating and shocking to me and still is, and I wonder why this happened because she registered her ante-natal in same hospital and came for all the doctor’s appointments and took all the prescribed drugs she was given. Every thing was Normal until birth. Baby is full term (40 weeks). Did all the series of text and doctor certified her ok and fetus was fine.

Two weeks before the birth my wife was getting inpatient because lots of people had told her first babies usually come early and the doctor has been recommending cs in a subtle manner if she was inpatient. Being the husband and also scared of Nigeria health care, I was skeptical of the cs because there was no indication for cs. The pregnancy wasn’t at risk. Doctor said baby was ok and it’s either she do the cs if she can’t wait or we wait till when labor is due. Those where his words. I was just in a dilemma and had to make a decision ASAP.

So last week monday, we went to the doctor after much pressure for her normal monday appointment and the cs talk still came up. I said ok let’s book for cs and also asked him if I can go home and think about the cs. He said ok no problem, that baby was fine but I should listen to my wife if she wants the cs. I was still thinking, this is our first child and all. No complications, baby wasn’t overweight. She was 3.5 kg that monday. So Wednesday passed we didn’t go for the cs. On Thursday my wife complained of abnormal baby kick in the womb. She said baby hasn’t kicked that way through out the pregnancy. She called the doctor and doctor said it was normal kick.

The next morning Friday I took her to a lab to do a scan to check the health of the baby and know if it’s engaged yet. My plan was if baby doesn’t come out before Saturday, then by monday we would book for the cs. We went for the scan and everything according to the scan was normal apart from the baby’s weight being 3.88 which is almost 4kg. I said ok this baby is getting big and it might be too difficult for you during labor. I made up my mind that moment and we went to the hospital that Friday night for the cs. We booked for the next morning .

The doctor checked the fetus heart rate and said it was a bit low and said we have no choice than to do the cs which i supported fully. Next morning by 7 am she did the cs and some nurses came outside and told me congratulations. All of a sudden i saw some persons running upstairs. In about a minute they came downstairs with oxygen tank and I knew something was wrong. I became anxious even tho some came out and said everything was fine. It took about 10m before they allowed me inside to see the baby.
I saw my baby from afar being cleaned up with oxygen pipe on her nose and she was crying weakly. I was just happy and thought that was normal.

Later on, the pediatrician called me and told me series of jagons I didn’t understand Bcs I was too excited at that moment. Later she Said the baby has to be put in the icu unit for 24-48 hours for close observation. I said ok that’s fine provided my baby would be fine. So after some hours I went to the icu unit to see her and she was still on oxygen and was in incubator. They later removed her from the incubator that She doesn’t need it and just placed her on oxygen and light for jaundice with other fluids and antibiotics.

I suspected something wasn’t right when the pediatrician wasn’t coming out plain even though she is a consultant from a different teaching hospital. Mine is a good private hospital. She wasn’t just specific. I asked several times if baby would be fine, she just keep beating around the bush with no concrete explanation to what’s wrong with my baby and the cause for it.

After about three days in the icu, atleast she improved a bit. They took the oxygen off intermittently. She could poo, pee. Shake her feet but there’s no general body movement and her cry’s are still weak. I later found out that she has moderate birth asphyxia and I started making research about it and it breaks my heart what I see online. I started asking them questions with so much annoyance and need answer. They were just hiding and trying to dodge some questions. After 4 days the pediatrician callled me and also called the head doctor and said somethings about her health. Told me her condition is fair but in conclusion they would recommend I take her to a teaching hospital upth. I declined I told them why do they want to send her out if she was recovering. There was no explanation to it.

I started making research for a good children hospital and asking questions too and came up with a very good one. Very standard. I cleared the outrageous bills in the hospital and took her there and she was admitted immediately. The doctors also confirmed she has sepsis.

The story is long Guys I’m just trying to save time. Pls doctors in the house. What is ur experience about cases like this and parents that have experience this how was the recovery of the child. Did they develop well with no issue in the future. That is my fears. I know she will live but fear of the unknown is killing me.
I have read terrible stuffs about birth asphyxia.

Pls your advice and inputs would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Birth asphyxia jaundice and sepsis .

These are 3 unfavourable combinations that are easily solvable if you accept advice.

1) The baby will be treated for sepsis at the the teaching hospital or any other hospital; easily as long as the diagnosis is correct.

2) complications of asphyxia. The baby can easily recover from the initial effect of asphyxia. But your fears are the unpredictable outcome of neonatal asphyxia which can not be easily prevented, stopped or reversed.
Your desire to prevent, stop and reverse the consequences of HIE (hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy or birth asphyxia) is wise and can be easily achieved with hyperbaric oxygen therapy -hbot. (Biko forget dat jargon boo)

What your baby needs now is hbot because it is the treatment that can counter the damage that might have set in.
HBOT heals the brain from within.
