Wenzhou Network News Recently, a second-born mother with osteogenesis imperfection underwent a cesarean section, delivered a healthy baby boy weighing 3 kilograms, and the mother and child were safe after the operation, and have been successfully discharged from the hospital.

Xiao Zhang is 21 years old, a native of Sichuan, and lives in Taizhou. She fractured many fractures since childhood, diagnosed with osteogenesis imperfecta, and serious deformation of the spine, thoracic cage, pelvis, and limbs. A child has already given birth to a daughter, more than 1 year old this year, and her physical condition is not abnormal. Seeing that her daughter's development was no problem, Xiao Zhang became pregnant again. She went to taizhou and Wenling hospitals for examination, and doctors recommended that she go to a general hospital. On October 9, she came to the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenyi University for treatment, when she was 38 weeks pregnant, the pregnancy obstetric examination B ultrasound suggested abnormal fetal heart development, and when she was admitted to the hospital, she had difficulty breathing, and cardiac ultrasound suggested pulmonary hypertension. Looking at Xiao Zhang's eager and determined eyes, Jin Lixu, deputy director of the obstetrics department of the hospital, decided to take over this "hot potato".

Due to the small size of pregnant women and serious deformation of bones, it increases the difficulty of fetal delivery, and the placental blood circulation decreases after fetal delivery, which may cause an increase in circulating blood volume, and a large amount of blood flows back to the heart, which is very easy to cause heart failure. Jin Lixu invited experts from multiple disciplines such as anesthesiology, pediatrics, intensive care medicine, cardiology, and orthopedics to consult and formulate a detailed diagnosis and treatment plan. In order to ensure the safe operation, Xiong Xiangqing, chief physician of the Department of Anesthesiology, personally performed the preoperative bedside consultation repeatedly to formulate the best anesthesia plan for the patient.

On the afternoon of October 12, the operation began. Dr. Kim Lee-hye is a step-by-step approach to ensure that every movement is gentle to avoid fractures in pregnant women. In the end, Xiao Zhang successfully gave birth to a baby boy weighing 3 kg.

Osteogenesis imperfecta, commonly known as "porcelain dolls", is a rare congenital disease of skeletal developmental disorders, the lesions of which are not limited to the bones, but also often involve other connective tissues. By the adult stage, he is short in height, his limbs are seriously deformed, and his ability to take care of himself is poor. Medically speaking, "porcelain dolls" are not suitable for pregnancy, osteogenesis incomplete pregnancy combined with osteogenesis imperfecta is a high-risk pregnancy, because the bones are very fragile, the probability of danger during pregnancy is tens or even hundreds of times higher than that of ordinary pregnant women.
