No issues since. Baby had a small small skin tag at birth on right ear. Avgar score 9/10. Mother took a few oxycodone 20mg during early part of pregnancy for an abcess tooth. She has been clean the remainder of her pregnancy like 6 months of it. Still clean today. Would the facility tell you at time of stay for 3 days in the hospital pre labor during and after delivery if baby experiencing signs of withdrawal. He cry’s a lot at night time unless he’s picked up and soothed is he ok. His bilirubin score was 9.1 no fever. Is something wrong or is it normal. The woman was upset before birth afraid she was gonna Loose her children and the new born and worried after birth if she was gonna get to take him home and she did and he’s suppository healthy.
