A bonny bundle of joy – weighing all of 5.41 kg – was delivered successfully by the gynecology department of the Cama Hospital on April 29, 2019, even in the wake of severe medical complications that arose, including anticipated challenges of a respiratory failure to the infant. And in addition to the looming threat of fatal Hypoglycemia staring the diabetic mother and baby.
Confirming the successful birth of the baby boy under Dr Tushar Palve (unit head) and Dr Qazi Jaweria Amber (Gynecologist and fellowship in the laparoscopic surgery), the latter told www.kiranhegdeLive.com, “There is an emphasized need for more awareness among mothers-to-be about the particular care and medical preparedness needed in such medically challenging cases. The mother of the child hails from Bhiwandi, which is fairly urban region and yet, the mandatory blood sugar test that would have revealed her diabetic condition was unclear when the patient was admitted to our facility. It is essential to highlight the neo-natal essentials to tackle such an acute medical case of pregnancy and create awareness on the issue,” Dr Ansari stressed.
The bonny baby was born has only been taken off the medical respirator today, but continues to be in the intensive cardiac care unit (ICU). Another senior doctor told www.kiranhegdeLive.com, “The infant is vitally stable now and has been taken off the respirator. As expected there was respiratory distress and congenital and chromosomal anomalies detected and we anticipated the possibility of the infant going into apnoea (read unable to breathe) due to delay in the respiratory organ development. Born through a C section procedure that took around 1.5 hours, the infant had to be resuscitated right after delivery and placed on a respiratory system. Similarly, certain cardiac challenges (also anticipated) were the immediate concern for us over the next few days. The infant will have to be prescribed additional cardiac drugs as well as medicines for keeping in check its diabetic situation.”
The doctor noted that the birth of the 5.41 kg infant in the wake of the intense medical challenges was a rare occurrence, due to the lack of insulin in the mother which results in the infant, that is directly connected with the mother through the placenta, getting more insulin resulting in a higher rate of metabolism and a commensurate higher growth. The hyper-worked infant therefore grows at a faster pace than infants in other non-diabetic pregnant mothers.
She noted that the mother was also in good health even as the medical staff monitored all her parameters considering her diabetic status. “Diabetics have a number of medical complications attached to child delivery including, the stressful nine months of pregnancy that additional taxes her vital systems in such pregnancies with a high incidence of retinal and cardiac failures, if not treated well. The happy news is that the child is scheduled to be discharged in a weeks time,” the senior doctor said.”
