In this article, I have tried to explain about very high bilirubin which was found in my newborn baby along with his photograph and medical report. Besides, I have also explained that why doctor changed the blood of my baby and what was the condition of my baby after the blood was changed? And why death of my baby took place? 

                            

I am patient of PCOS, due to which I could not get pregnant for the first about 8 years of my marriage. But long term struggling and treatment gave me a chance to get pregnant. Click here to see how Igot pregnant with PCOS.


Luckily, I got pregnant and in 8th month of pregnancy (Pre-term), I gave birth to a baby boy on 17th April 2022 through cesarean section. I was so much happy because it was the first time, when I was going to be the mother of a child. Following is the photo of my preterm baby of 1st day:-

At the time of birth of my baby boy, he was looking good and had no breathing problem and he also wept just like other newborn babies weep.

 

Soon after his birth, he was shifted to NHDU/ NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) for special care for monitoring.

 

When I went to NHDU/NICU for the first time to breast feed my new born baby boy, at that time he was sleeping. I tried to talk with him but he did not respond. Then, I started talking with him using those words, which I used to talk with him when he was in my womb, which resulted into response by my baby and he started weeping much. I happily breast fed my baby in reasonable amount. Following is the photo of my son of about 2 days in reasonable condition in NICU:-

During this period, I breast fed to my new born baby from time to time as per timings of hospital. In next few visits of breast feeding, I felt that my baby is not so much active as it should be like other babies. Besides, he started taking feed in fewer amounts which became a very dreadful situation for me. Following is the photo of my preterm baby when his condition was getting little bit worse in NICU:-

Anyhow, I continued breast feeding to my baby in NHDU/NICU in low amount.

 

On 19th April 2023, my husband was directed by Doctor to have Bilirubin Test taken, which was taken accordingly. The Test report was showing too much high bilirubin in the blood of my baby which is as under:-

 

Serum Total Bilirubin:               18.9 mg/dl

Serum  Conj. (Direct) Bilirubin          1.4 mg/dl

Serum Uncong. (Indirect) Bilirubn     17.5 mg/dl

 

Following is the Bilirubin Test Report of my son.

My husband gave above said bilirubin test report to Doctor. The Doctor asked my husband bilirubin is too much high, therefore blood exchange transfusion will be required to avoid permanently disability of baby or any other complications. The doctor further advised to arrange blood other than my blood.

        

We arranged blood and provided the same to Hospital. On 20th April 2022, the doctor started process of blood exchange transfusion. The process took about 02 hours which was started at 11:40 AM and ended at 1:40 PM. The doctor wrote a note that “No any reaction seen during transfusion”. Following is the photo showing Doctor's note about blood  transfusion:-

But after passing few hours, the condition of my baby became severe and blood was coming out of his nose.  The doctor required White Blood Cells from blood bank. Besides, injection etc were also required by the doctors to tackle the situation of baby but the condition of baby got worsen further and ultimately on next date i.e 21st April 2022, my baby’s death too place.  Following is the photo of Expire Note of my baby, written by Medical Staff, whereby death of my baby was confirmed:-

Conclusion

 

I am pretty much sure that the cause of my baby is actually the reaction which had occurred on exchange of blood (Blood Exchange Transfusion). This reaction has occurred for the reason that Doctor did not cross match the blood before transfusion.
