Ravi, son of Eliezer and Viih Tube: are full-term babies susceptible to diseases?

The influencer and ex-BBB Eliezer 34, updated status Ravi son he has with the YouTuber and also ex-BBB Viih Tube 24. The baby, who was born at the beginning of the month, has been hospitalized since Wednesday (27).

In a video published on his Instagram profile this Saturday (30), Eliezer explained that Ravi has a rare and serious illness, in a situation that is not common for “a full-term baby”.

The expression is used in obstetrics and neonatalology to define a baby born between 37 and 42 weeks of gestation, that is, in the period considered healthy for birth. As it is a pregnancy in which delivery was carried out at the right time, with the fetus already mature, it is less likely to have health complications, such as respiratory or digestive system problems.

Furthermore, a child born at term is more likely to develop better in the first few days of life, according to studies. However, this does not rule out the possibility of health complications due to various causes. In Ravi’s case, for example, it has not yet been revealed which rare disease led to his hospitalization.

Preterm baby and post-term baby: what are they?

When a baby is born before 37 weeks of gestation, it is considered “preterm” or “premature”. According to the MSD Manualmost complications of prematurity are caused by organs and systems that have not yet fully developed, and the risk increases according to the degree of prematurity.

There is also a post-term newborn, which is one born in the 42nd week of pregnancy or after that period. Post-term babies may also be at risk of health complications, since at the end of full-term pregnancy there is a reduction in the functioning of the placenta and it offers fewer nutrients and less oxygen to the fetus, according to MSD Manual.

Among the possible complications of post-term babies are low blood glucose (sugar) levels, dry and peeling skin. However, according to the manual, post-term birth is less common than premature birth.
