As moms came in and out of the waiting room, elated by the first grainy images of their growing babies, Davis was anxious as she waited for the results. Finally, doctors told her the news: Baby Hayes' organs were developing on the outside of his body. The condition, known as an omphalocele, is a birth defect in which the fetus' intestines and other abdominal organs stick out from the belly button. Once we heard the word, 'omphalocele,' it was our world, said Davis, 29, of Texas. A thin membrane that keeps the organs in tact usually covers the omphalocele.

When too much bilirubin builds up in a new babyâs body, the skin and whites of the eyes might look yellow. This yellow coloring is called jaundice. When severe jaundice goes untreated for too long, it can cause a condition called kernicterus.aundice is the yellow color seen in the skin of many newborns. Jaundice happens when a chemical called bilirubin builds up in the babyâs blood. During pregnancy, the motherâs liver removes bilirubin for the baby, but after birth the babyâs liver must remove the bilirubin.
