"Great, it's for the dragon and phoenix fetus!" On the afternoon of March 22, there was a cheer from the maternity ward, and a mother with a full-term pregnancy twin gave birth smoothly, and the mother and baby were safe.
Professor Meng Tao, director of obstetrics, introduced that twin births are relatively rare, which is also another victory for the medical teams of obstetrics and neonatology of our hospital to work together.
"At the beginning, I knew that I was pregnant with twins, I was still planning to have a caesarean section, everyone said that the twins were all caesarean sections, and then director Meng Tao thought that I could give birth by myself after helping me evaluate, and decided to have a normal birth." The mother, who was still immersed in joy, could not believe that she had succeeded in giving birth. Professor Meng Tao said that when it comes to twin pregnant mothers, many people will look enviously, but this is not the case at all in the eyes of obstetricians. In the birth of twins, the birth of the second child is very likely to have an incorrect fetal position, so the twin pregnancy is a test for the mother and the baby, but also a test for obstetric medical technology. Before giving birth, the expert team composed of Professor Meng Tao of Obstetrics, Attending Physician Wang He, Chief Resident Li Ziwei, Chief Nurse Liu Peiyan, Nurse Zheng Fen, Chief Resident Physician Li Fang of Neonatology, and Resident Physician Zhu Ziwei made various plans in advance to ensure smooth labor. During the delivery process, the expert team instructed the mother to hold her breath and cheer for her.
At 16:26, with a baby crying, a cute pink baby girl was born smoothly, but Professor Meng Tao never dared to let go, while instructing the nurse to observe the fetal heart sound situation, while encouraging and comforting pregnant women not to worry, continue to work hard after resting. After 8 minutes, the baby boy was also born smoothly, and the weight of the dragon and phoenix fetus was 2350g and 2310g respectively, and the mother and baby were safe.
"Since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in 2020, the hospital has formulated a set of emergency plans, and there are usually drills, and the medical staff of the obstetrics department are sticking to their posts, and all the work is currently being carried out in an orderly manner." Professor Meng Tao said.
In the face of this special battle, everyone is helping to cheer in their own way. In the obstetrics department of the First Hospital of China Medical University, the arrival of new lives is like a ray of dawn, which will eventually dispel the haze of the epidemic.
