Post-95 mothers give birth to quadruplets, the birth rate is only one in 700,000! Congratulations, pay attention to this

Having children is a major event in life. Many couples look forward to having a healthy baby, or even twins, preferably twins. The two children have to toss back and forth.

That's why, if anyone around you has twins, they are enviable, and even occasionally they hear that they have triplets, they are even more envious, and they all feel blessed. But although we have heard of twins, triplets, and even these are likely to happen to us, have you ever seen quadruplets?

Just a few days ago, 26-year-old Mr. Yang and 22-year-old Ms. Ma in Yinchuan welcomed the birth of four babies. These four babies are not only quadruplets, but also fraternal quadruplets, that is, embryos formed by the combination of four eggs and four sperm. Each fetus has an independent placenta, umbilical cord and fetal membranes. It is equivalent to a single room for one person, each with its own amniotic fluid, without interfering with each other. It is understood that the probability of this rare naturally conceived fraternal quadruplets occurring is about one in 700,000.

Pregnant with quadruplets at a time is naturally a surprise, and the probability of one in 700,000 is like hitting the jackpot. But apart from surprises, we should also note that the risks of quadruplets are higher than the normal ones. singleton pregnancies are at much greater risk. According to Su Yinqiu, director of the obstetrics department and chief physician of the First People's Hospital of Yinchuan City, said: "Mothers with multiple pregnancies will have more complications and complications, and are more likely to have problems such as premature birth, miscarriage, and premature rupture of membranes. Once these problems occur, The chances of the child surviving are slim."

In addition, it should be noted that this pregnant mother with quadruplets was also at the time when the COVID-19 virus was raging during her pregnancy. She said that regular check-ups are very important, especially for Ms. Ma, a post-95 mother who is pregnant with quadruplets.

Fortunately, the medical staff of the hospital are also very concerned about her situation. Although it is not convenient to go to the hospital for examination during the epidemic, the medical staff still ask for guidance through WeChat. Ms. Ma is also in good health and does not need special measures to protect her baby.

In the end, after careful care during pregnancy and careful preparations in the hospital, four babies, three boys and one girl, were finally born, and the mother and child were safe.

It is not easy to give birth to a baby, and it is even more difficult to give birth to four babies at a time, especially when the epidemic is raging, which has caused great difficulties in prenatal examination and monitoring during pregnancy. I believe that many mothers-to-be who are just pregnant will also have this kind of trouble. When the prenatal check-up encounters a special situation such as the epidemic, can the time of the pre-natal check-up be postponed?

Generally speaking, under normal circumstances, pregnant mothers are checked every 4 weeks before the 28th week of pregnancy; every 2 weeks from the 28th to 34th week; and once a week after the 35th week of pregnancy. As long as the special examinations in each period are completed within the corresponding gestational age range, there is no problem in delaying them appropriately.

But there are also a few more important prenatal checkups that need to be kept in mind. Pregnant mothers are best to take a small notebook and write them down.

11-14 weeks: early NT screening, which is a must.

20-24 weeks: Ultrasound screening in the second trimester (commonly known as large-scale abnormality removal), which should not exceed 24 weeks at the latest, is also a must.

24 to 28 weeks: OGTT screening (diabetes screening), if you don’t want to check this, it is recommended to follow the dietary requirements of diabetes and control your mouth.

36-37 weeks: It is necessary to go to the pregnancy week check, so that the doctor can judge whether you can have a natural delivery or a caesarean section. As for fetal heart rate monitoring, if conditions permit, you can buy a monitor and observe it at home.

At other times, if there are no special circumstances, you can rest at home and reduce the number of visits to the hospital.

But pregnant mothers need to pay attention, if vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain or other serious discomfort symptoms occur, they must go to the hospital emergency department in time. Especially elderly pregnant women, or those with special circumstances such as high blood pressure, scarred uterus, multiple pregnancy, etc., should pay close attention to their physical condition, and go to the hospital for examination in time if there is any problem.

But you don’t have to worry too much. You must know that the epidemic is preventable and controllable, and the current domestic epidemic situation has stabilized. Pregnant mothers only need to take precautions, make preparations in advance, choose a regular large hospital, and take necessary pregnancy tests. It should still be done. While doing a good job of protection, what pregnant mothers should do is to relax and avoid anxiety, so as to give birth to a healthy baby.
