    Mother Of Baby With Congenital Heart Disease: Help Us Give My Little Angel Noor A Shot At Life

    Hello Everyone Out there

    I am Baby Noor’s Mummy Lena, Baby Noor Was born on the 1st of March 2016 @ NUH.

    These donations are going to help my family and I on our hospital bills/check-ups/pampers/medications for baby Noor.  Baby Noor Was Diagnosed with Tricuspid atresia is a form of congenital heart disease whereby there is a complete absence of the tricuspid valve. Therefore, there is an absence of right atrioventricular connection. This leads to a hypoplastic (undersized) or absent right ventricle when she was still in my tummy at 24 weeks. I was in shock. I did not know what to do. I was given the choice to keep the pregnancy or abort it. I was given 2 weeks to choose. I sat myself down got myself thinking what would be the best for my family and I. Will I be able to cope. Having 3 other kids whom one of them is an asthmatic. Can I handle this? will I give up? Am I emotionally prepared? Well I stuck to my Decision to Keep Her. When She was born via an emergency c sec the nurse brought her to me I kissed her forehead and she was wisped away to Neonatal ICU. On the 2nd day of my stay in hospital I pushed myself to get up and walk down to see her. I cried in happiness thinking if I were to abort her would I ever get to see this beautiful angel

  • Mayat Bayi Baru Lahir Dijumpai Dalam Pesawat Di Indonesia

    Mayat Bayi Baru Lahir Dijumpai Dalam Pesawat Di Indonesia

    Mayat seorang bayi yang baru lahir dijumpai dalam tandas sebuah pesawat selepas pesawat itu mendarat di Indonesia dari Doha, dengan pihak polis sedang menunggu untuk menyoal siasat seorang penumpang wanita, kata seorang pegawai hari ini (11 Okt).

    Penemuan mengejutkan itu berlaku lewat Ahad (9 Okt) oleh para pekerja pembersihan semasa mereka berada dalam pesawat Qatar Airways selepas ia tiba di lapangan terbang antarabangsa di Jakarta.

    Bayi itu dianggarkan berusia antara lima hingga tujuh bulan, kata Endang Sutrisna, jurucakap polis lapangan terbang kepada AFP.

    Kakitangan lapangan terbang itu mendapati bayi itu dibalut dengan kertas tisu di dalam sebuah tandas.

    Seorang penumpang wanita – warga Indonesia yang bekerja di luar negara – dibawa untuk pemeriksaan kesihatan sebelum dipindahkan ke sebuah hospital polis di Jakarta Timur untuk ujian lanjutan.

    Para pegawai bagaimanapun tidak menjelaskan hubungan wanita itu dengan bayi berkenaan.

    “Jika hasil pemeriksaan doktor menunjukkan wanita itu sihat untuk disoal siasat, wanita itu akan dibawa kepada pihak polis lapangan terbang untuk menjawab beberapa soalan dan perlu bertanggunjawab atas (yang disyaki) tindakannya,” kata Sutrisna.

    Masih tidak jelas sama ada wanita itu akan dikenakan dakwaan jenayah, tambah pegawai itu.

    Negara-negara Timur Tengah seperti Qatar, Arab Saudi dan Bahrain adalah destinasi utama bagi pembantu rumah Indonesia, terutama sekali wanita yang bekerja sebagai amah dan menghantar wang pulang kepada keluarga mereka.

  • Kajian: Bayi Dengan Saiz Kepala Lebih Besar Mungkin Lebih Berjaya Di Masa Akan Datang

    Kajian: Bayi Dengan Saiz Kepala Lebih Besar Mungkin Lebih Berjaya Di Masa Akan Datang

    Bayi yang dilahirkan dengan saiz kepala yang besar berkemungkinan lebih bijak dan akan mempunyai masa depan yang berjaya.

    Demikian menurut satu kajian yang dijalankan oleh Biobank Britain, yang menyatakan ada kaitan kukuh antara tahap kebijaksanaan yang tinggi dengan ukuran keliling kepala dan saiz otak yang besar, lapor laman Daily Mail.

    Sekitar sejuta rakyat Britain dipantau oleh badan tersebut bagi mencari kaitan antara gen, kesihatan fizikal dan mental dengan laluan kehidupan mereka.

    Bukti terbaru ini merupakan dapatan pertama hasil daripada kajian yang bertujuan untuk memahami hubungan antara fungsi otak dengan DNA, menurut Daily Mail.

    Para pengkaji menyatakan menerusi jurnal Molecular Psychiatry: “Kaitan penting dilihat antara markah ujian sampel kognitif di Biobank Britain dengan banyak markah profil poligenik, termasuk saiz tempurung otak, ukuran keliling kepala bayi dan keupayaan kognitif semasa kanak-kanak.”

    Profesor Ian Deary dari University Edinburg, yang memimpin kajian tersebut berkata kelainan gen juga mempunyai kaitan kuat dengan kebijaksanaan, menurut laman The Times seperti yang ditukil Daily Mail.

    Bukti terbaru ini begitu tepat sehingga pakar-pakar mendakwa ia boleh meramalkan kemungkinan bayi menyambung pelajaran di universiti di masa akan datang berdasarkan DNA.

    They screamed and shout…kicked our gate…but the funny thing is they have never complained to us face to face

    They put a letter in all the neighbours’ letter box saying that we are not teaching our child.

    Luckily the rest of our neighbours are understanding and side with us. All the letters they put back in their letter box.  Serve them right. Everyone ignored them.

    They also have a child but is already grown up.

  • Miracle Baby: Cancer Survivor Conceives And Gives Birth To Healthy Baby

    Miracle Baby: Cancer Survivor Conceives And Gives Birth To Healthy Baby

    She may be the first Singaporean to undergo a ground-breaking medical procedure called ovarian tissue cryopreservation.

    But all Madam Siti Nurjannah Sapiee, 32, is grateful for is that it enabled her to be a mother.

    Her journey to motherhood began with a devastating roadblock.

    Just three months before her planned wedding, in November 2009, Madam Siti, who was then 26, was shaken by two diagnoses – cancer and infertility.

    The former primary school teacher was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma of the thigh, a rare cancer of the soft tissues that typically occurs near the large joints of the arms or legs.

    INFERTILITY

    To make matters worse, she was told that chemotherapy might render her infertile.

    Madam Siti, who is now a housewife, said: “The most heartbreaking thing to me was remembering that my fiance wanted three kids and I felt I couldn’t give him what he wanted.”

    So she postponed her wedding to November 2010 and focused on battling her illness to pursue her chances of having children.

    Madam Siti was referred to Dr Anupriya Agarwal, a consultant at the National University Hospital (NUH) Women’s Centre’s Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, by her oncologist, Dr Andrea Wong.

    Before the start of her cancer treatment, the doctors discussed how to sustain her fertility.

    They suggested ovarian tissue cryopreservation, a procedure that involves the removal of ovarian tissue from Madam Siti’s body and keeping it in frozen storage until after her recovery.

    In-vitro fertilisation, an alternative procedure, was not an option as Madam Siti was engaged, but not married at that time.

    “You don’t know how much you want a baby until somebody tells you that you can’t have one,” she said tearfully.

    In December 2009, Madam Siti underwent the ovarian tissue cryopreservation procedure, which cost $5,000. Soon after, she underwent chemotherapy.

    About three years later, in March 2013, Madam Siti was confirmed to be cancer-free and was ready for the ovarian tissue to be reimplanted into her body.

    EXTREMELY CONCERNED

    Her husband, Mr Raihan Haji Rajin, 32, told The New Paper that he was still extremely concerned.

    “Even though she was cancer-free, I didn’t want her to neglect her health just so that she could conceive my child. I wanted her to raise it with me,” said the primary school teacher.

    Madam Siti’s menstrual cycle returned three months after the ovarian tissue was reimplanted.

    Over a year later, in October 2014, the moment she had been dreaming of finally came.

    Mr Raihan said: “She woke me up one morning and showed me a pregnancy test that showed a positive result. I told her to try two more times and all three tests were positive.

    “At that time, she was already excited, but I didn’t want to raise our hopes, to be disappointed in the end. That’s why I was still quite hesitant and wanted to wait until we received confirmation from a doctor.”

    Madam Siti said it was not until the third month of her pregnancy, when the gynaecologist showed them a sonogram of their baby, that she and her husband really believed they would be having a child.

    She recalled having an easy pregnancy. Once, she had a craving for belacan that could be bought only in Malacca.

    “The funny thing is I didn’t even want to eat it, I just wanted to smell it,” she said with a chuckle.

    On May 21 this year, Madam Siti gave birth to Nur Hannah A’qiylah.

    Weighing 2.7kg at birth, baby Hannah is reportedly one of only 21 babies worldwide who was conceived naturally following ovarian tissue cryopreservation, according to NUH.

    Her birth is reportedly the first in Asia.

    Madam Siti said: “If I could advise anyone who is going through the same thing I did, I would tell them to have faith and not give up. Hannah is proof that miracles still exist in this world.”

    She now faces a time limit: Her reimplanted ovaries are viable for only five years. Otherwise, she will have to go through the entire procedure all over again.

    She said: “I am very happy and contented right now. But I hope to try again for another child in the next five years.”

    You don’t know how much you want a baby until somebody tells you that you can’t have one.

    – Madam Siti Nurjannah Sapiee

    OVARIAN TISSUE HARVESTED & FROZEN

    HAPPY MUM: Madam Siti hopes to try for another child as her reimplanted ovaries are viable for only five years.

    Soon after her cancer treatment, Madam Siti Nurjannah Sapiee was also put on hormone replacement therapy to ease the effect of premature menopause, which had been brought about by the temporary removal of her ovarian tissue.

    In the ovarian tissue cryopreservation procedure, doctors harvested tissue that stores the eggs from both of Madam Siti’s ovaries.

    A special freezing technique was used to preserve that portion of tissue, also known as the cortex.

    Ms Joyce Mathew, chief embryologist in NUH’s Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, said: “The most crucial part of the freezing procedure in the laboratory was to ensure that there would be no freeze damage to the egg cells in the cortical tissue.”

    By March 2013, Madam Siti had recovered from cancer and was ready to have children.

    The frozen tissue was thawed and rinsed with a special thawing solution, then reimplanted into her body via a mini laparotomy.

    The surgical procedure involves making a large incision through the abdominal wall to gain access into the abdominal cavity and it was done with the use of extremely fine sutures.
