What started as one episode about perinatal vocabulary, quickly escalated into a 4 part series, but we're here for it!  In this episode, we discuss newborn terms that aren't part of your everyday vernacular, but you will hear after your baby arrives.  And just like with the postpartum terms, it's important to look over these terms during pregnancy (because some of these procedures could be included in your birth plan!).  And because the immediate postpartum can be overwhelming, it's a good idea to have some knowledge of these terms before baby arrives.We talk about:The golden hourMeconium JaundiceNewborn metabolic tests Placenta Fundal massage HemorrhageAPGARDelayed Cord ClampingNewborn proceduresVernixand more!  Resources mentioned in the episode:Episode 57: Cranial Adjustments with Dr. Martin Rosen Episode 69: Benefits of Pediatric Chiropractic CareDr. Green mom (just use the search tab to look for the newborn procedures we mention)Support the showWant to show your support?

Has someone ever taken you by surprise with a kindness that made a big difference in your life? Our series, "Thank You, Stranger," looks at those special people and their impact. A woman from Pine Springs, Minnesota, outside of Stillwater, takes us to a critical moment in her journey through medical school. Connie Dale was in her third year of medical school when she gave birth to her first child. Going straight back to school with a newborn at home wasn't easy for many reasons, but one simple act of kindness kept her going.

The fourth trimester refers to the first three months when the baby is born. This is an adjustment period both for parents and the baby. Parents are often told that sleep deprivation is the norm in those early months; and although that is somewhat true there are some things that can be done to comfort baby and prolong sleep stretches. On this episode, I welcome Dr. Harvey Karp who is a world renowned pediatrician and child development expert. He is the co-founder and CEO of Happiest Baby and the creator of SNOO Smart Sleeper. He is also the author of the best-selling parenting guides The Happiest Baby on the Block and The Happiest Toddler on the Block.  We discuss: The 5 S's of Newborn sleep and how Dr. Karp came up with them Why having these tools are important for every familyMisconceptions about the fourth trimester and sleep Want to know more about Dr. Harvey Karp?

In this episode we talk with Emily Chandler and Taylor Washburn, EBB Childbirth Class graduates about their experiences in the childbirth class; their informed and empowered hospital birth; and how they navigated an extended hospital stay for newborn jaundice.   Emily, is a marine scientist, and Taylor, is a teacher and rowing coach in the Boston area. Together, they love hiking, biking, rowing, and taking advantage of the great outdoors. And they're also very busy taking care of their baby. While pregnant, Emily dove headfirst into learning about pregnancy, birth, and the state of maternity care in the United States. Emily and Taylor took the Evidence Based Birth Childbirth Class with EBB instructor Chanté Perryman.   Emily and Taylor share their experiences in the EBB Childbirth Class and how that informed many of the decisions they made regarding their birth plan, including Taylor being both inspired and empowered to “catch” their baby. They also share how they used the advocacy skills learned in class to better communicate with their providers and each other. After experiencing the birth they desired, complications arose when Emily experienced difficulty breastfeeding and inadequate lactation support. Difficulty was further exasperated when their newborn was diagnosed with jaundice leading to an extended hospital stay.

In this episode we get to hear about the beautiful experience of birthing when there is reverence and preparation for gentle empowerment of the The Mother (which is somehow defined by the Newborn). Alison is so experienced as a midwife, yoga teacher and hypnobirthing facilitator that she naturally describes how different it can be in real life to the TV sensationalised version of birth as a stressful (or even distressing) procedure. It can also be very calm, with very little intervention and augmented by a beautiful approach to what the word "midwife" really means. The lovely Alison talks us through the "mandala" of links between Yoga, Midwifery, hypnobirthing and hypnotherapy as the most valuable tools for bringing us into self-awareness - almost "birthing ourselves" into a natural way of being, so that we can manage anxiety and find a quiet, self-respectful centre whenever we need to.  We also touch upon the subject of food addiction in both Alison's professional and personal life; and come beautifully full circle at the end of our conversation, when Alison talks about the death of two family members, and her role - as with birth - in holding space and working gently to support this process of transitioning from one world to another. Welcome to midwifery and the lovely role it can be both literally and symbolically! Alison's Website: https://www.yogapanacea.com/

The WV Uncommonplace Podcast invites listeners to join host JR Sparrow as he interviews inspiring people from all walks of life. In this episode, JR Sparrow interviews Colleen Faul, a wife, mother of two rambunctious toddlers, and published children's book author. Colleen also mentors families with children with special needs, as she has a daughter with a genetic disorder. JR and Collen discuss their unique experiences as parents to children with disabilities, and the trying and sometimes heartbreaking process of dealing with their loved ones' conditions. They discuss their journey towards healing and learning to let go of fear and worry, leaning into prayer and focusing on the positive. They also discuss their respective books, God's Precious Gift: A Special Needs Child, and the importance of spreading awareness and educating the public on recognizing medical events in infants and children. They emphasize that parents need to be their child's biggest voice and to fight for them when medical professionals are dismissive of their concerns. Finally, JR and Colleen direct listeners to their websites to read about their stories and get more information about the topics discussed in this episode. Colleen Keefe Faul is the author of "God's Precious Gift: A Special Needs Child." At 6 months old, Colleen's daughter, Grace,  was diagnosed with Infantile Spasms and Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. Colleen had to learn to become a fierce advocate for her daughter's medical needs, and she now mentors other parents to help them do the same for their children. Her daughter's diagnosis pulled Colleen deeper into her faith, where she found consolation in the form of creativity. She was inspired to write a faith-based children's book for the special needs community that was as much for the parents as it was for the children. Her mission is to help members of the special needs community, their loved ones, and their caretakers find peace and joy in God's Will. https://www.GodsPreciousGift.com/This link is to my author website.

Episode 133: Neonatal JaundiceJennifer explained the pathophysiology of neonatal jaundice and how to treat it and described why screening for hyperbilirubinemia is important.    Written by Jennifer Lai, MS3, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific Western University of Health Sciences. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.  You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.What is neonatal jaundice? Jenni: Infant jaundice, also known as hyperbilirubinemia, is when there is a high level of serum bilirubin causing yellow discoloration of the newborn's skin and eyes. Bilirubin is a red-orange byproduct of hemoglobin catabolism that gives yellow pigment to skin and mucosa membranes. Arreaza: When we see jaundice on the eyes, it is actually the conjunctiva color we are seeing. So, the term “scleral icterus” should be changed to “conjunctival icterus,” but you may get corrected by unaware clinicians. Bilirubin actually binds elastin.What's the pathophysiology/ big picture?Jenni: The key problem is the accumulation of high levels of bilirubin in serum and if left untreated, it can bind to tissues and cause toxicity. There are multiple reasons why there might be too much bilirubin in the serum. Excess bilirubin can be due to a benign normal condition, but it can also be due to a pathologic reason. It is important to differentiate between these two because the management and treatment can differ significantly. Arreaza: Highly bilirubin means that it is being either overproduced or under-eliminated. Physiologic jaundice Most of the time, hyperbilirubinemia is benign and physiologic, with yellowing typically occurring between 2-4 days. Normally, there is a period of transition caused by the turnover of the fetal red blood cells and the immaturity of the newborn's liver to efficiently metabolize bilirubin and increased enterohepatic circulation. The most common reason is that the liver isn't mature enough to get rid of the bilirubin in the bloodstream or because the baby's gut is sterile, so it does not have the bacteria to convert the bilirubin to get it out of the body. In general, newborns have a higher level of total serum or plasma bilirubin levels compared to adults for the following reasons: Newborns have more red blood cells (hematocrit between 50-60), and fetal red blood cells have a shorter life span (85 days vs. 120 days) than those of adults. After birth, there is an increased turnover of fetal red blood cells, so there is more bilirubin.Bilirubin clearance (conjugation and excretion) is decreased in newborns, mainly because of a deficiency of the hepatic enzyme UGT.Increase in the enterohepatic circulation of bilirubin as the amount of unconjugated bilirubin increases due to the limited bacterial conversion of conjugated bilirubin to urobilin.Pathologic JaundicePathologic jaundice includes severe neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, extreme neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, and bilirubin-induced neurologic disorders. We determine the severity of the jaundice using the total serum bilirubin (TSB). It is defined as a TSB >25 (severe) and TSB >30 (extreme). Other concerning signs include a TSB over the 95% percentile, a greater than 5mg/dL/day or 0.2mg/dL/hour, or jaundice that lasts for more than 2-3 weeks. Potential pathologic causes include but are not limited to: Increased bilirubin production from increased hemolysis which is when the red blood cells in the baby are being destroyed faster than normal, this can be due to blood group incompatibilities where the mom's immune system starts to attack the baby's red blood cells (such as Rh incompatibility) or from RBC membrane defects (spherocytosis).Birth Trauma when the head gets bruised after a vacuum or forceps is used to remove the baby from the vaginal canalInfection which prevents the bilirubin from being metabolized and excretedProblems with bilirubin clearance either from enzyme deficiencies such as Crigler-Najjar or Gilbert syndromeObstructed biliary systems causing bile to get stuck in the liverArreaza: Indirect bilirubin is the one elevated in newborns, but if you see direct hyperbilirubinemia, then you have to think of an obstruction.Jenni: Severe hyperbilirubinemia can cause brain damage. The amount of bilirubin and the duration of bilirubin ultimately determine the severity of the brain damage. This is because the bilirubin blocks some mitochondrial enzymes from being able to function properly, also it inhibits DNA synthesis/protein synthesis, and can cause DNA damage. This can ultimately lead to acute bilirubin encephalopathy which is described as 3 different phases: Phase 1 with poor feeding, lethargy, hypotonia, and seizures, Phase 2 with increased tone in extensor muscles causing neck contractions (retrocollis and opisthotonos), and Phase 3 with generalized increased tone. If the bilirubin encephalopathy persists it can also ultimately cause cerebral palsy, sensorineural hearing loss, and gaze abnormalities.  How and when do we treat? No phototherapy:The goal of treating jaundice is to safely decrease the amount of bilirubin in the body. Oftentimes babies with mild hyperbilirubinemia don't get any treatment and we just watch and wait. In premature babies, there is an increased risk for brain toxicity because a lower amount of bilirubin can result in brain toxicity. For these babies, it is important to ensure there is adequate breast milk to both prevent and treat jaundice because it helps the baby get rid of bilirubin through the stool and urine. Arreaza: Indirect sunlight exposure of the baby.Phototherapy:Other babies get phototherapy or more commonly known as light therapy. Phototherapy light treatment is when the baby's skin is exposed to a special blue light which will help break down bilirubin and help with the excretion in stool and urine. The phototherapy should be continuous and placed on as much skin as possible and the treatment should be administered until bilirubin levels drop to a safe level based on the baby's hour-specific thresholds. Arreaza: Home phototherapy is an option (UV blanket) available for rent or purchase.Phototherapy is very safe, however, with any treatment, there are risks and potential side effects. Some of these include skin rashes, loose stools, overheating, and dehydration. Occasionally, babies turn a dark gray-brown color in their skin and urine, but this is temporary and usually resolves on its own. While the baby is receiving phototherapy, it is important to continue breastfeeding to ensure appropriate fluid hydration, but in babies that cannot get enough breast milk, they may need to supplement with formula or even potentially start IV fluids. Benefits of screeningIt is therefore essential for universal bilirubin screening for all newborns prior to discharge to identify newborns who are at risk for developing severe hyperbilirubinemia. Hyperbilirubinemia is extremely common in newborns, with nearly all neonates having a higher total serum bilirubin than adults. The reason we screen is that this reduces the risk of developing severe hyperbilirubinemia and ultimately brain damage. This universal screening also then decreases hospital readmissions for neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Arreaza: So, we check at 12-24 hours in a typical pediatric unit. We use a bilimeter (transcutaneous) and if we suspect it is not accurate, we do a serum bili. Be aware of the accuracy of bilimeters.How do we screen? We do this prior to newborn discharge through a transcutaneous bilirubin device (TcB) or lab total serum bilirubin (TSB). The bilirubin level is used with the assessment of risk for the development of severe hyperbilirubinemia. Newborn bilirubin screening guidelines include TSB or TcB within 24-48 hours after birth or before discharge. TcB is the noninvasive test, but TSB is the gold standard for assessing neonatal bilirubin. Newborns with visible jaundice in the first 24 hours should be concerned for severe hyperbilirubinemia. These babies should be screened earlier because of the risk of pathologic causes of jaundice. In addition to the bilirubin test, physicians will clinically assess by examining the skin under ambient or daylight to assess whether there is a yellow discoloration of the buccal, gingival, or conjunctival mucosa. Additionally, if a baby presents with scleral icterus, pallor, bruising, hepatosplenomegaly, or cephalohematoma (enclosed hemorrhage), these can be clinical presentations of neonatal jaundice. Follow up:After screening, we recommend that babies be closely monitored if jaundice does occur as it can be well managed with early treatment. A quick way to assess this at home is to press gently on the baby's forehead and if the skin looks yellow where you press, it's probably jaundice. If your baby doesn't have jaundice, then the place where you pressed it should look lighter than normal. _____________________Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 133, “Neonatal Jaundice.” Jennifer explained the pathophysiology behind the increased levels of bilirubin in babies. She reminded us that it is a physiologic process, but when the level of bilirubin is too high, then we need to start treatment. Treatments include indirect sunlight exposure of the baby, breastfeeding, and in some cases phototherapy, IV fluids, and even antibiotics and exchange transfusion in some cases. Dr. Arreaza reminded us of the importance of screening and monitoring “bili babies” in the clinic. This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Jennifer Lai.

Is the postpartum support you're getting actually more harmful than helpful? Here's how to ask for what you really need in the days and weeks after birth. A listener wrote in to ask: Has anyone found that 'more is not more' when it comes to help/house guests with a newborn? My in-laws have been here for a week (my newborn is two weeks old) and I'm finding it all more annoying and inconvenient than helpful to have "extra sets of hands." I also feel like I'm exiled to the bedroom for all breastfeeding and just in general, because I can't handle the constant interaction and endless questions about what I'm doing, where I'm going, what I'm looking for in my own kitchen every time I wander into a common area. I know my in-laws have the best of intentions and I feel in some ways I should be grateful for the extra help and grateful my son has such loving grandparents who want to spend time with him - but I'm just overwhelmed with resentment at the moment and taking it out on my husband for indirectly facilitating this scenario. Am I just being crazy and ungrateful? As a new mom, YOU get to decide who's living with you and when! If at all! The first weeks of a newborn's life are for brief visits that don't interfere with routines or make things harder for the new parents. If your in-laws or family are smothering you, you are perfectly within your rights to ask them to leave (if they are staying) or to give you and your partner a little breathing room. Once your baby is older, you'll most likely welcome the help and social interaction from relatives, but for now, it's perfectly ok to just focus on recovering from birth and bonding with your nuclear family.
