HELLP & Baby

Most common is small for Gestational age/ low birth weight.

At birth baby may be over sedated due to medications of both mother and child.

Child may have Hypermagnesemia due to magnesium sulfate treatments given to the mother. 

Surfactant is usually given to the mother which will help baby’s lungs mature at a faster rate. 

Other than that the baby is usually given morphine or other relaxers so the baby does not pull out any tubes and medical equipment.
