Newborn Screening for Congenital Heart Defect

[Kagami-chan]

Hi everyone,

I would like to spread awareness in Congenital Heart Defects in babies. I have a son diagnosed with 3CHD and ever since then, I was on the net researching about his conditions and the needed treatment for each... when I stumbled upon Cora's Story.

"Cora died in her mother's arms while breastfeeding at only five days old. There were no warning signs of the congenital heart defect that took her precious life. One minute she happily fed, the next she was dead.

Now, Cora save and improves lives. Through spreading Cora's story, her parents, family, friends, and even perfect strangers work to raise awareness of congenital heart defects (CHD)."

Feel free to check her website:

Congenital Heart Defect is the most common birth defect in babies. If only these newborns are given pulse oxymetry test to check for any CHD, then lives will be saved. Even healthy looking babies could have undiagnosed CHD. At the age of hi-tech medical interventions, babies with heart defects could be given medical treatment and will be given a chance to live longer lives.

Critical Congenital Heart Disease does not choose. Even healthy looking babies could get this very common defect. Although not all heart defects could be picked up my pulse oximetry, but it could detect the most critical heart diseases from newborns and have the chance of correcting it through surgery.



Help save babies' lives through early detection of CHD.

"People talk about being heartbroken, torn apart because of a one-sided love... But don't they know how crushed a mother's heart is if her child is suffering from a heart defect?"

Please stop unnecessary deaths due to undiagnosed CCHD. Spread the awareness! Ask your doctor for Newborn Heart Screening now!

Expecting Mommies and new mommies,

Please do inquire about newborn heart screening or if the doctors could do pulse ox on your baby or for further test, go for 2d Echo.

It does not prick, it does not hurt your baby, but rather it could save your baby from any undiagnosed Congenital Heart Defect.

Our babies' lives are priceless, go for heart screening 24hrs after baby's birth!
