A PREECLAMPSIA PATIENT WAS DELIVERED OF A BABY BOY AT SOLID ROCK HOSPITAL

Mid-day of the 23rd of August 2024. A pregnant woman in her third trimester came for routine ANC visit. The pregnant woman was seen by a specialist doctor (Gynaecologist) and was diagnosed with preeclampsia (elevated blood pressure and protein in urine). Abdominopelvic scan was done, which revealed placenta insufficiency due to elevated blood pressure.

NB: The placenta is an organ that forms in the womb. It is connected to the baby by the umbilical cord from which oxygen and nutrient gets to the baby during pregnancy.

She was admitted for BP stabilization and a special injection was given to improve the function of the baby’s lungs. After about 20 hours the BP was stabilized, she was scheduled for an emergency Caesarean Section for a pregnancy that was just about 32 weeks.

The CS was successfully done, and the baby was delivered. The baby is a boy, and he weighs 1.7kg. The baby was kept in the incubator because he was born prematurely (born before due time).

NB: The incubator is a machine that keeps a baby warm.
