Hello, my cousin was induced after not feeling the baby for about a day. The baby was born dead but was re-lived. It has been a week since the baby was born and she hasn t had any progress. The baby does not move at all (looks like she is dead) and is connected to a ventillator to help her breathe. At first the doctors thought it was a neurological problem but that has since been ruled out. The only thing the doctors can think of if that 24 hrs before the birth my cousin had eaten cheese. Therefore, they believe she acquired a bacteria from it and passed it on to the baby. Is there any special test or anything that maybe her doctors are missing to figure this out?
Hi. At present, there is nothing else. I am not sure whether a neurological check was conducted or not, but I am sure it was when the neurological problem has been ruled out. So there is really nothing for now, let's wait and watch the baby. A blood test should rule out/confirm an infection, and accordingly direct treatment if required. Best wishes.
