DS was born at 37+5 on march 31st. I had gone in for monitoring for reduced movement and he wasn't happy heart rate was constantly in 170's and he wasn't moving so I had an EMCS .
Anyway he spent the first night on labour ward with me and made a few little attempts to latch but didn't feed properly. He was cupfed formula and MW checked his blood sugar levels in the morning and they were under the cut off of 2.6mmols.
He was taken to SCBU and is still there now.
He ended up having a long line in and had to have 15% glucose and was fed C&G nutri prem milk thru an NG tube hourly. Slowly he was dropped down from the 15% to 12.5%, then 10%, then just to nutri prem. and gradually mil by mil he feeds were changed from nutri prem to my EBM. Then we had to go from hourly feeds to 2 hours to 3 hours to 4 hours. Yesterday he fed when he wanted!
Sorry to waffle on I just wondered if anyone had anything similar happen and what was the outcome? Both short and/or long term?
Because he was given such a high calorie intake obviously he put weight on, as he changed to EBM he lost it (was still above birthweight tho) and now we have to see if he gains tomorrow as to if he can come home xx
