When diagnosed with hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN), why does the newborn develop hyperbilirubinemia after birth but not in utero?

◦ Excretion of unconjugated bilirubin through the placenta into the mother’s circulation is no longer possible.
◦ Hemoglobin does not breakdown into bilirubin in the intrauterine environment.
◦ The liver of the fetus is too immature to conjugate bilirubin from a lipid-soluble to water-soluble form.
◦ The destruction of erythrocytes producing bilirubin is greater after birth.
