BEST WAY TO KNOW IF YOUR BABY IS FINE 4D scan allow you to see your baby as if it has been born, so that any malformations can be detected and something done about it. Also sex can be seen and is 100% accurate. The Doppler detects whether the baby's condition is fine, ie if enough blood is flowing to the baby. For example, once there is any concern about the babies health, Doppler should be done. The conditions that can be assessed are: 1. Exact picture of the baby in colour and video like one shown here. You can have the videos recorded on flash drive to play for families. It promotes bonding as you see the baby open its mouth, suck thumb, grin, and other behaviors you never thought babies engage in. No woman ever forgets the experience, and the pictures and videos are there for life 2. Sex from 3 months 3. Any abnormality in the baby 4. Doppler of mother and baby to know if enough blood is getting to the baby. If enough blood is getting to the baby (ie if the Doppler of umbilical artery is normal), that baby cannot die in the womb in the next one week. So Doppler is the main test of fetal wellbeing worldwide now. So, whenever the doctor says that IUGR is suspected, that is poor fetal growth, then Umbilical artery Doppler must be done so that unnecessary CS is avoided. Umbilical artery Doppler was shown to have 100% specificity for predicting foetal outcome, See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23457860 . What this means is that once the Doppler scan of your babies umbilical artery shows that blood is flowing to your baby, it means that in all of such cases the baby will be okay. So, if your baby is not kicking fine, or you have any illness that you think might have affected your baby, or the doctor/nurse says your baby is not growing well etc, go straight for umbilical artery doppler ultrasound. 5. Prediction of outcomes of pregnancy. Eg MCA Doppler if woman is Rhesus negative, Uterine artery Doppler to know if the woman will develop Hypertension in pregnancy, so that low dose aspirin can be started to prevent it 6. Nuchal translucency to detect if baby has chromosomal anomaly eg Down syndrome 7. Infertility scan, such as sonoHSG to replace X-Ray HSG, Follicular monitoring etc Essentially it performs all the required scan to ensure that the woman sees and interpret the findings herself. 4D ultrasound allows the pregnant woman to see her baby's overall body so that if there is any abnormality, it can be detected on time and the woman can see for herself. Gone are the days when an ultrasound scan will say one thing and the woman or the doctor is not convinced follow our page with the link below: https://www.facebook.com/4D-Ultrasound-Doppler-Scan-For-Pregnant-Mothers-1685505391770591/?ref=bookmarks 1 Like |

Adding to what graciouscharis wrote, Jaundice could manifest as pathologycal or physiological. Both can be fatal but pathologycal fatality rate is higher than physiological. Physiological hyperbilirubinemia is a build-up of bilirubin due to the normal breakdown of red blood cells that were needed for fetal circulation before birth and discarded afterward. Normally, the liver processes the bilirubin and converts it to a form that can be excreted in poo. In a newborn, the immature liver is just very "young" to function on its own outside the womb. The imbalance of an overabundance of bilirubin to process and a liver that is not mature enough allows the yellow pigment from broken down red blood cells to accumulate in the blood and give the skin and whites of the eyes the yellow tone we call jaundice. Pathological hyperbilirubinemia is related to a condition other than normal newborn bilirubin being processed slowly by an immature liver. Such conditions include an incompatibility between the baby's and the mother's blood types, incompatibility of additional blood factors, or liver problems. This type might require more aggressive and lengthier intervention than physiological bilirubin problems. Physiological jaundice coupled with risk factors--small baby, multiples, exclusive breastfeeding, poor feeding and a few others--can cause the serum bilirubin level to reach high risk levels and make the use of bili lights and bili blankets necessary. But generally speaking, pathological bilirubin levels reach higher levels faster and take a longer time to come down. In both conditions, if the numbers reach high enough levels(15-20mg/dl)it may require one or more blood transfusions, although transfusion is most likely with pathological jaundice. Physiological manifest 2-3 days after birth whilst pathologycal shows less than 24 hours after birth. In summary all babies are born with the risk of jaundice but some factors aggravate with it. We noticed hers some days after which may have been brought on by poor feeding, thing is we thought her baby was getting enough milk all the time she spent on the breast(ebf) not knowing that milk wasn't enough to make her poo thus causing the bilirubin to accumulate. It's not until she started pumping that we realised the milk was small and I had to donate breast milk yesterday which filled the baby up faster, thus reducing the time she was out of the phototherapy(bili) light to make the liver work better in breaking down the bilirubin. Today it's down to 10mg(Thank God). She is still under observation and hasn't been discharged naming might be done at the hospital tomorrow ![]() Cc iomoge. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

Liftedhands: Thank God she's much better now. I've heard some horrible stories about all these local treatment. It has killed a lot of babies and some ends up with severe kerinicterus. I ripe pawpaw, scent leaves and all those Agbo are trial and error methods. It's just like gambling with the life of your baby. 1 Like |

chizeal: Malaria is not good for a pregnant woman. It can make one anaemic and weakens your body. Taking the drugs when you don't take enough water is also dangerous. I took malaria treatment immediately I found out I was pregnant, was on this Sunday medicine throughout my pregnancy and slept inside an insecticide treated net but my baby still had jaundice. I'm just trying to say that it has not been established that it causes jaundice. You may need to read what lifted hands wrote. Using these local herbs is like a gamble. You can't decode the level of jaundice by merely looking at the baby. What if the cause of the jaundice is not physiological? A lot of treatment for treatment of jaundice in Nigeria is just trial and error. If you take a trip to Island maternity, you will weep for these children. It's inside Lagos island and a lot of the mothers there depend only on Agbo so by the time they bring in those babies for medical attention after days of pumping them with unripe pawpaw water and bathing them with Agbo, some of them will die and some will be disabled for life. It's just that in Nigeria, parents with special needs children mostly lock them up in the rooms away from the public. Some of the children you see that develop hearing loss or sight issues at a tender age are as a result of poor handling of jaundice. I hope to share my story before weekend so that people can learn from it. 4 Likes |

[quote author=Liftedhands post=49307003]Where all the mamas on this thread? Almost three hours since the last post ![]() My niece has finally poopoo(massive and smells horrible ![]() Thank God the jaundice is dropping. From my experience with my miracle baby. My mum was always given her glucose water to make her poo poo and this helps a lot. Because the more poo poo the more the jaundice reduces. When we were discharged mummy continued with pawpaw water. Using it to bath her and l would drink it so she can suck it from the breast milk. Do not worry the baby is healed. She coming out strong. 1 Like |
