Recently, a mother in Jining, Shandong Province, gave birth to quadruplet boys in 3 times, which has attracted much attention. On March 22, the eldest was born at 25 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy, weighing 735 grams, 4 days later, the second was born, weighing 870 grams, and on April 1, the third and fourth were born, one 1050 grams, one 1030 grams. At present, all four children are in the incubator, and the follow-up medical expenses have made the new parents worried. Chu Zunzhen, 27, became a father of four in an instant, and on April 3, in a conversation with a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily, the young father shared his joys and worries about becoming a new father.
Chu Zunzhen said that when he first learned that his wife was pregnant with quadruplets, he was happy and worried, and he did not expect to encounter a very high challenge when he became a parent for the first time. The child's mother worked hardest, going through three surgeries a month, and she hadn't looked at the four children until now. "The birth of four children faces a lot of risks, but they are also relatively large, and they are currently trying to survive in the incubator." The eldest weighs the least, but when he was born, the score was seven or eight points, the comprehensive vital signs were better, and the hospital notified that there was intracranial hemorrhage a few days ago, I was very worried, but it has improved so far. I saw him when he was born, and when he came out, he looked at you with his eyes open, and he wanted to live. Pray now that your child is safe and safe, and get out of the incubator as soon as possible. ”
Naturally conceived with quadruplets By the time of the check-out, the best time to lose the fetus had passed
Beiqing Daily: When did you learn that your wife was pregnant with quadruplets? How was I feeling at the time?
Chu Zunzhen: I am 27 years old and my wife is 22 years old. Half a year ago, we got the good news that our wife was pregnant, which was the best news we had heard in years, and we were looking forward to the arrival of the baby and preparing small socks and small clothes. We had just gotten married and were conceived naturally. At first, no quadruplets were found, but triplets were said to be triplets, and one child was blocked. When it was later found that it was quadruplets, it was already 3 months old, and the best time to lose the fetus was missed. Just knowing that I was pregnant with quadruplets, I was happy and worried because there was a greater risk during multiple pregnancies. Throughout my wife's pregnancy, I have been very anxious, often checking the Internet for various conditions that may occur during the pregnancy of multiple babies, but I dare not tell my daughter-in-law about these, for fear of affecting her emotions during pregnancy, I pay more attention to myself and ask the doctor more during the obstetric examination.
Beiqing Daily: When did you find out that the fetus may not be in good condition and be hospitalized?
Chu Zunzhen: The previous obstetric examination has been quite good, and my daughter-in-law is quite confident. Until February, during the normal obstetric examination at our local hospital in Jining, it was found that my daughter-in-law's cervical function was not very good. I had checked the information on the Internet before to know that there might be such a situation, and it had to be older in the month, because when the month was small, there was no impact on the detection, so I would ask the doctor this question every time I had a maternity check. At that time, the doctor said that this situation was quite serious, the child may not be able to keep, at that time the month was still small, then there were many premature births, directly a miscarriage. We immediately went to The Qilu Hospital of Shandong University to protect the fetus. My daughter-in-law's cervix is too short, only 0.6 centimeters, and before the eldest was born, his head was actually directly in the cervix.
"When the boss is taken out, he looks at you with his eyes open, and he feels that his vitality is very tenacious and he wants to live."
Beiqing Daily: What was the situation when the boss was born?
Chu Zunzhen: The eldest was born on March 22, born naturally, weighing more than 700 grams at birth, belonging to a very premature baby. While waiting for him to be born, I was worried outside the delivery room. But although he is small and incompletely developed, he is still good in comprehensive vital signs at birth, with a score of seven or eight points, which is good in premature babies. I looked at him when he was taken out, and he looked at you with his eyes open, small, but he felt that the vitality was very tenacious, and he wanted to live. At that time, my daughter-in-law had not been given anesthetics, and the child was sent to the neonatal intensive care unit, and my daughter-in-law did not look at it, three births, and four children she had not seen until now.
Beiqing Daily: Are the children born in the back better than the boss?
Chu Zunzhen: No, these four children are born at great risk, and every time there may be no heartbeat at birth, but they are still alive and well, and they are also related to our fate. The second born is also a smooth birth, but he is hip-down, not head down, there may be suffocation during childbirth, although he was born only more than 800 grams, but the score is 8 points, that is, he has to raise a baby in the incubator. The third and fourth are caesarean sections, before this my daughter-in-law had a bit of a fever, the child was born with a little red skin, the score at birth was 7 points, and a blood test had been done, but the results had not yet come out, I was afraid that it was caused by infection or there was something wrong.
The four children actually have little difference in ratings, they are relatively small, and they all have to stay in the incubator for a month or two, but each child's situation is different. A few days ago, the neonatology department called me and said that the boss had intracranial hemorrhage, I was scared when I heard it, I asked yesterday (April 2) if there was still this situation, they said no.
For the first time, when parents encountered very high challenges and worried about their children's condition in the incubator, they worried about medical expenses
Beiqing Daily: Now that all four children have been born, will your anxiety be better?
Chu Zunzhen: I am even more anxious, I can't sleep these days, I only sleep for three or four hours a day. The first time we became parents, we encountered a very challenging situation, and I think that if someone else encounters me, it is estimated that it will be the same. Other people's families may have to call several times a day to give birth, but I dare not call the neonatology department, I am afraid of receiving a call from them, and it is good news not to call me.
When the child is in the mother's belly, he worries about what is wrong and hopes that they will be well. Now they are all worried about the situation in the incubator, and can only pray that they can all get out of the incubator safely. But a child spends more in an incubator, and now I am not only worried about the child, but also the pressure on medical expenses. I was originally engaged in the logistics industry in my hometown, that is, delivery, usually earn about 5,000 yuan per month, my daughter-in-law is a substitute teacher, we are all from rural families, tens of thousands of yuan of savings in the family have been hollowed out, and I have borrowed more than 100,000 yuan with relatives and friends. Now it has spent more than 200,000 yuan, and the hospital is still in arrears. And I worked for more than ten days after the New Year, and then I have been in the hospital, and I have no income at present. Medical insurance can reimburse part of it, but it is also reimbursed afterwards, and now the biggest problem is to make up for medical expenses, I launched a request for help in water drops, and I hope that everyone can lend a helping hand to help our family get through the difficulties.
The children are also trying very hard to survive, as long as they can get through this and have the confidence to raise them
Beiqing Daily: What are you most worried about now?
Chu Zunzhen: It is the children's follow-up medical expenses, and now I hope that they can get out of the incubator safely. I think the four children are very tenacious, they are also trying very hard to survive, in the incubator to raise a little problem, now it is a problem of money. Although it is quite stressful to raise four boys, this is all a matter of later, and then find a way to make money later. As long as the children can get through this current difficulty, I am confident that I can raise them.
Beiqing Daily: What is the situation of the child's mother now?
Chu Zunzhen: My daughter-in-law's physical fitness is quite good, and she has recovered very well. It may take a few days for others to recover after giving birth to a child, she can go to the ground in less than a day after giving birth to the third and fourth, there is no problem at present, it should be discharged from the hospital in these two days, and then go home to raise her body. She would love to see her child, but she can't visit her yet.
