Dear Ellen, if the mother has a GI bug or something else, they should
find out what she has exactly. GI bugs are not going to be passed via
breastfeeding. There is no reason I can figure out that they are not
allowing her to breastfeed. And, to keep the baby for another week after
it gets down to 12, when there is no documented problem with a bili of
25 or lower in a full term baby, is beyond me.

Somethjing is not right here.

Kathleen

Subject: contractions and heavy vomiting


Hi all,
I haven't posted in a while, but now I find I need your collective
experience. My niece has given birth to a "healthy" term infant - he was
born on Monday in Johannesburg' first baby, epidural, which ended in
difficult vacuum and forceps delivery. Birth weight 3.430 kgs. Dr. had
stated that he wouldn't have a jaundice problem because of the blood
type (didn't get the type), so they never checked. From Monday til
Friday all seemed to being going fine. On Friday my niece started
getting super strong contractions and started vomiting heavily. She was
in much pain, and had to hand the baby over to her mom for care because
she wasn't capable of coping. Now they have checked his bili levels
prior to circ. and they hospitalized the baby because he has a bili of
21 and say they are going to keep him in for a week, and after it gets
down to 12 they will keep him in for yet another week. They are giving
him formula and my neice is pumping. My sister in law says that there is
a stomach virus going around, which may account for the vomiting. and
perhaps even add to the discomfort or uterine contractions. Altho would
they commence only 5 days post partum? They gave her valoid for pain.
(L3 according to Hale) Staff are saying that she should not bf because
the virus can pass thru to the baby.

questions: has anyone experience a first time mom with such horrendous
reactions to uterine contractions? can the reaction be delayed from the
epidural? SIL says that when the new mom was a kid, she reacted very
badly to anesthesia for dental work, vomitting, etc...could that be
connected?

Anyone working in Johannesburg?
Thanks for your input.

Ellen Shein, IBCLC Tel Aviv
