Following the hype that surrounded the birth of Beyonce- Jay z twins, the twins who were born prematurely are currently being treated for jaundice. Daily Mail reports that the pop icons have not left the hospital since Beyoncé was admitted for delivery eight days ago. In addition, doctors had opted to keep them in for a ‘minor issue.’
The twins have been said to have spent their first days under ‘bili lights,’ a photo-therapy designed to eradicate high levels of bilirubin in the blood.
Doctors reveal that jaundice is quite common among newborns, especially pre-term births; and twins are said to be more disposed since they are seldom carried to full term.According to reports, the yellow substance is created when old red blood cells are changed for new ones; and heightened levels cause a baby’s skin and eyes to turn yellow.
If left untreated, doctors reveal it can be very dangerous; but once identified, it is easily and usually successfully treated.
For now, the celebrity couple are yet to reveal the sexes and names of the twins.
