A pregnant woman in Yichang, Hubei Province gave birth to Longfeng quadruplets. How difficult is it to have quadruplets?

The probability of having quadruplets is very small, and the probability of having quadruplets in twins can be said to be less than 5 million. At 9: 28 am on August 12, 29-year-old Ms. Gao gave birth to twins in the obstetrics department of Yichang Central Hospital. At present, the quadruplets are being treated in the hospital and are not out of danger.

1. Both husband and wife have a history of twins:

According to the hospital, Ms. Gao and her husband are both post-90 s and have been married for many years. Ms. Gao was pregnant three times before, but for various reasons, none of the first three children survived. The couple attach great importance to this pregnancy. Li Hua, director of obstetrics and chief physician of Yichang Central Hospital, said that this is the first time that she has met quadruplets since she was a doctor for more than 20 years. She said that the probability of pregnant women having twins naturally is about 5.3%, and the probability of quadruplets is very low. What's more, these quadruplets are naturally pregnant and belong to twins, which means they are pregnant with two pairs of twins. They are twins, two men and two women.

2. Caesarean section lasted only 20 minutes:

Considering the high risk factor of multiple pregnancy, which may endanger the safety of mother and baby, the doctor suggested Ms. Gao to have an abortion operation. The high birth rate of these women and the sudden death after repeated abortions led to sudden death. At the 28th week, the prenatal examination found that her body always existed, and the fetus might be malnourished and stillborn. At the same time, the maternal uterus is in danger of rupture. Director Li Hua introduced that after relevant examination, it was finally decided to have a cesarean section in advance in the 32nd week. At 9: 28, the first baby girl fell to the ground. A baby is born every minute. The baby's crying echoed in the operating room. The operation lasted only 20 minutes. After the operation, Ms. Gao's vital signs were stable and her anesthesia recovered smoothly.

3. The quadruplets all weigh less than 2kg:

The quadruplets have a big daughter 1.52kg, a second son 1.865kg, a third daughter 1.605kg, and a fourth son 1. 165kg. The biggest problem of premature infants is that their lungs are immature and need respiratory support. Wende, deputy director of pediatrics in the hospital, said that according to the characteristics of small premature infants, once they enter the ward, they will be given non-invasive respiratory support and drugs to promote lung development. At present, the baby has successfully passed the first breath. Although the current treatment has achieved results, the baby is out of danger, and the next baby will face difficulties in feeding and nutrition, infection, circulation and brain development.
