0:16 In Cases Of Intracranial Hemorrhage

If your baby is in the newborn intensive care unit and your physician or nurse tells you that the baby has intracranial hemorrhage or intraventricular hemorrhage, it’s important for you to understand that most of these babies will do fine. 

When you have this sort of thing told to you, you need to realize that the doctors want to inform you and the nurses want to inform you about what’s happening to the baby day in and day out. That’s their job and they take it very seriously. I don’t want you to worry that this particular thing is a harbinger of problems for the baby throughout their life. In many cases, it’s not, but what you need to do is question the doctor about how the baby is doing from all aspects. 

1:14 Things To Ask For Intracranial Hemorrhage in Newborn Cases

Is the baby moving the way that he or she should move? Is the baby taking feeds well? Have all the problems that occurred around the time that the hemorrhage occurred resolved at this point like the blood pressure and that sort of thing? 

If you ask those questions and the answers are good, then you should be encouraged that things are going in the right direction. As I said before, most of these babies do survive and most of the survivors do very well.
