The triplets have a rosy face and a standard weight
What is rare is that after the medical team's examination, it was gratifying to find that this triplet who was pregnant with full term did not have the low weight common to multiple births, but was ruddy in color and weighed up to the standard: Dabao 4.9 kg, Erbao 5.5 kg, Xiaobao 5.2 kg.
According to reports, Ms. Xie is 28 years old this year, has given birth 2 times before, has a son and daughter, and this time "rarely" gave birth to full-term triplets. What is even more surprising is that Ms. Xie's conception did not use high-tech auxiliary means such as IVF, but a "pure natural" natural pregnancy.
It is reported that such a situation is very rare, and the chance of naturally conceived triplets is very low, about one in seven hundred thousand to several million.

Mothers at risk will never give up
In October last year, Ms. Xie, who already had a son and daughter, found herself pregnant again, and after a B ultrasound examination, she found that she was pregnant with triplets this time. The family was both happy and worried, and soon changed from shock and joy at the beginning to great stress and anxiety.
In the first trimester, Ms. Xie developed hypothyroidism, which had adverse effects on the mother's health and the growth and development of the fetus. "At that time, I was really at a loss, and the hospital doctor who visited me suggested that I reduce the fetus, telling me that the three-child pregnancy was very difficult and risky, and there would be more problems in the future." Ms. Xie said.
But not willing to give up the little life given by God, through consultation, Ms. Xie learned that Fan Cuifang, director of the Obstetrics Department of Wuhan University People's Hospital, has rich clinical experience in handling complex multiple pregnancies, and she and her family consulted and then came to the hospital and found Professor Fan Cuifang for treatment.
Professor Fan Cuifang said that from a medical point of view, triplet pregnancy is more harmful to the body of pregnant women, easy to cause complications such as hypertension, diabetes, heavy bleeding, excessive amniotic fluid, etc., which is a high-risk pregnancy, and 90% of them will occur prematurely.
However, seeing that Xiao Xie and her family had a very resolute attitude, Director Fan Cuifang was also deeply moved, and she formulated a detailed personalized obstetric examination plan for Ms. Xie, and joined hands with the obstetric MDT team to escort the four mothers and babies.

Meticulous treatment to protect the safety of mothers and babies
Under the careful care of the obstetric team, Ms. Xie also kept passing through the second half of her pregnancy, fortunately, there was no danger. In December last year, she suddenly had more and more swollen lower limbs, red and swollen, and the pain was too bad, and when she came to the hospital to check, she found that it was a blood clot in her lower limbs.
After symptomatic treatment, and about 20 weeks of pregnancy, ultrasound B found that the cervical opening has a tendency to shorten, which is not a small problem. If further developed, the triplets are likely to "fall out" of the womb.
In the last 4 months of pregnancy, Ms. Xie was basically in bed to protect the fetus, and kept going back and forth between home and the hospital. Professor Fan Cuifang also constantly adjusted the plan to give the most appropriate fetal protection treatment.
By March 22, Ms. Xie, who was 32 weeks pregnant, had been examined by ultrasound and showed that the internal cervical opening was dilated, and the effective length of the cervix was further shortened, only 0.95 cm, while the normal cervical length was 2.5 cm-3 cm. As a result, a team of obstetric specialists focused on assessing the condition and developed a plan for a birth that could come at any time.
Fortunately, with the joint efforts of everyone, Ms. Xie miraculously saved the fetus for 36 weeks, until April 16, with full preoperative preparation, and arranged a cesarean section at a later date.
"Natural triplet pregnancies are very rare, and it is even rarer that triplet pregnancies last until full term. And the three children are so healthy, and the maternal situation is particularly good, it is indeed rare and rare. Holding 3 pink and tender little babies, Fan Cuifang, director of obstetrics, also smiled and closed her mouth.
In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, in the early morning of April 16, Professor Fan Cuifang, director of the Obstetrics Department of Wuhan University People's Hospital, came to the operating room early, and under the careful escort of obstetric medical care, as well as neonatology, anesthesia and other experts present, soon, three babies were born smoothly, and the four mothers and babies returned to the obstetric ward together.
