jaundice.....
Hey ladies I had my baby on 2/27/15. So she is 7 daus old today! OK so day 5 was determine to have jaundice.. So I had to take her too the hospital for a blood test OK day 6 got her results she was at a level 15 so had to take her back to the hospital to get checked again so now I'm waiting for the Dr to call me back to see of she needs to be admitted! Any one else go through something similar? I'm losing my mind going crazy with all the what if!!!
did you find out about ur babies mumer ?
Yes that is the same thing they told me but its still scary!! They didnt do a ECG for my baby they told me I have to get an echo scan done. I'm not to sure what the difference is but she gets that done on the 19th. Good luck to you and baby!! I'll be praying for you both.
They have said its only a slight murmur they did a ecg and weren't to worried I will have to go back for a follow up appointment tho to see what's what ... But they did say most murmurs are innocent and not to worry
Oh I'm so sorry for you its so damn stressful!!! I just got my daughter's jaundice results back today and she is doing better too we have to wait one week then go get tested again!!! Hopefully for the LAST time. Her echo appt. Is for the 19th it will be a long week waiting! What are they saying about your baby's murmur?
So my little one is out now and 82 below the treatment line she too has.a heart mumer and a floppy larincs so I kno how you feel Hun
OMG SO NOW ON TOP OF THE JAUNDICE SHE HAS A HEART MURMUR!!! IM GPING TO LOSEY MIND!!! ITS SO HARD TO DEAL WITH ONE THING AFTER ANTHOR AND I STILL HAVE 4 OTHER KIDS I NEED TO GIVE MY ATTENTION TO!!
Wow I'm so sorry to hear all these stories I actually feel blessed that my baby hasn't had to gone through all of those things! It really is hard to see your baby going through just anything myself as a parent wish it could be me instead of my baby! I know she will be fine she has to I look at it like my baby is meant to be here! I had a miscarriage Feb 27,2014 I was told I couldn't have aany more kids so long story short my daughter was born on Feb.27,2015 the exact same day one year later I feel like she is my miracle baby and I am meant to have her!!!! I'm praying for all of you ladies and your families hoping everything turns out for the best! I'm at the Dr. Right now waiting for more results on my baby girl I will keep everyone posted!! Thanks ladies for being here and letting me vent I don't know what I would have done with out this app!!
My daughter was born in November and there was no sun to help her get natural light...
My girl was born with it and had to use a Billy light for 7 days at home!! So stressful being a brand new mom and a brand new tiny baby and having to wrap her in a light and be limited to how far you can walk with her.... I was so happy when it was over.
My daughter had jaundice and was at a really high level. She was under lights for over a week then she had to be on a belly light for another two weeks. She was in the nursery for over a month. She is now 12 and healthy. Good luck to you. I know it's hard :(
Omg I'm so sorry to hear that!! Its so scary they didn't admit my baby yet I'm praying that they won't have to but when we left the hospital her levels were normal it was at her 4 day check up we found out that her levels were rising she was at 15 then the next day she was at a 16.2 yesterday she went down to a 13.7 now we have to be checked again on Tuesday.... Its so scary knowing how serious this really is. And then I just found out that her dads brother actually died from jaundice when he was just 3 months old. That was 32 years ago I know that technology and medicine have come a long way since then but it us scary!! @kickbabyboo I'm going to be praying for your baby too plz keep me posted on how she is doing! If I didn't have thus site to vent on I would be going crazy!!
My daughter was born 2 March she ha jundice she got it 26hrs after birth and had to be put under 2 lights as she was so close to having to have a blood transfusion she is now six days old we were discharged for 12 hrs came back to test and she had gone all the way to 6 below the treatment line an we were re admitted her levels are now going up and down like crazy and I feel as tho we will never get to go home
My son had a jaundice problem id put him out in the sun and what really did the trick was giving my son formula was weird after I started that it started to clear up idk y just did
It ***** to see a baby so small going through something so serious at such a young age!! I took her to the hospital again to be poked yesterday and thank God her levels are getting lower they went from 16.2 to 13.7 Dr said it's still high but at least they came down so now I have to take her yet again on Tuesday to be checked again I'm praying by then its all gone and she won't need to be poked any more!
Sun..I put my baby girl in the sun for on hour straight everyday.. She hated it.. But it was a must.. If she didn't then they would take her over night at the hospital and put her under lights.. I had bad post partum so it hurt to see her going through this at only 3 days old..
Yes I'm trying not to stress I know it's common my last three before her had it but they were fine within a day or two but with her instead of her levels going down they went up I just hate to see her little self getting poked so much I cry everytime they poke her! :( hopefully tomorrow will be the last time being poked!! And praying everything is OK!!! Thanks ladies
It'll be ok! My son was born 1/27 via c section and I had lost a lot of blood during it. I was in the hospital from the Monday morning before he was born till that sat. I wasn't producing a lot of colostrum and we weren't having luck on breastfeeding. My son's beliruben was a 16. I decided my son should at least go on formula so he could get better and was under the lights for at least 24 hrs.
Try not to stress to much, I a ftm and my nurses said that it's comments to happen. My son is doing very well!

Sun sun sun..
I've been putting her on front of the window 25min at a time and feeding her every two hours hoping when she go back to the hospital in the morning her levels are normal! I'm sooooo tired of my baby being poked! Wish I could do it for her!
My son had it when he was born. What his pediatrician told me was to take him out to the sun and it did help 30 mins 3 times a day for 3 days.
My last three before her had it but it went away on its own this time she didn't get it until we came home from the hospital! She has been poked 2 times in 2 days and now the Dr. Just called me and wants me to take her back to the hospital in the morning to get poked again!!! It *****

I work on a pediatric unit and we treat jaundiced babies all the time, it's pretty common and the treatment is standard with light therapy... just something that happens, try not to stress about it too much!
My first son had it too just not as bad as my 2nd. Hopefully we don't have to deal with it again in a couple months when our baby girl is born.
