2nd Newborn Screening

My baby was born at 35-36 weeks. I received a text today to claim his newborn screening result and for repeat newborn screening 28 days after birth. Should I worry po ba na pinapaulit ang newborn screening nya? I don't know the results yet. First time mommy here. And may moms din po ba dito na pinanganak ang baby nila at 35-36 weeks or what they called late preterm? Pinag 2nd newborn screening din po ba ang baby nyo?

Hi, mom of 2 preemie babies. Repeat newborn screening is required sa mga premature babies. As per our pedia, if meron namang prob sa result is tatawagan agad ng hospital. If nagtxt sa inyo for pick up na ang result, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about.

update: got the result of the newborn screening. Passed naman po. we were just recommended for 2nd newborn screening dahil premature si baby. Standard procedure po nila na magpa screening kapag premature (with or without findings)

dapat po sabihin nila kung ano ang result bago ang confirmation test. sa case ng anak ko, nag positive siya sa G6PD, but pina confirmation test para makasure . tapos negative nmn
