In the early morning of April 19, football superstar C Ronaldo and his girlfriend Georgina posted a sad message on social media.
Their newborn son of the dragon and phoenix died tragically, and only the daughter survived.
How much you look forward to it, how sad you are.
C Luo and Georgina are very fond of children, and C Luo has publicly stated that he wants to have 7 children.
Because in Ronaldo's eyes, 7 is a very magical number, with magic.
So after their girlfriends conceived the dragon and phoenix baby, they were full of joy.
But the unexpected came so suddenly, which made C Ronaldo and Georgina unbearable.
In the jointly signed announcement, the two earnestly stated:
"We have to announce with the saddest emotion that our precious son has passed away.
This is the deepest pain that every parent can feel.
Only the birth of our daughter has given us the strength to spend this moment with some hope and happiness.
We would like to thank the doctors and nurses for their professional care and support.
The loss of our children is heartbreaking, and at this very difficult time, we implore everyone to respect privacy.
Baby son, you are our angel and we will love you forever. ”
The pain of losing a child is the deepest and most unbearable for parents.
The two babies were the expectations of their whole family, but unexpectedly, tragedy occurred.
Even if the two were fully prepared to give birth in the hospital where they had successfully given birth to their daughter last time, with the most excellent medical conditions, their son still unfortunately died..... It's heart-wrenching!
As soon as the news came out, all walks of life sent comfort to C Ronaldo and Georgina, and Manchester United, who is currently playing for C Ronaldo, commented: "Your pain is our pain, at this moment, we convey love and strength to you and your family." ”
Morgan, the host who has always been poisonous, also showed a warm side and expressed his deepest condolences to C Luo and his family.
Domestic netizens also sent comfort to the parents who lost their children: the death of the child, this is the biggest pain that any parent can feel, I hope they can get out of the pain as soon as possible!
But the pain of losing a child, any words of comfort are too pale, just hope that everyone gives them space and lets them deal with this matter well!
For the baby's premature death, many people wonder, why is there such a situation in today's developed medicine?
But as many netizens said: twins are high-risk pregnancies, which are risky!
Twin or multiple pregnancies, both hardship and risk are multiplied!
On social platforms, many girls want to have a pair of cute twins.
But conceiving multiple babies is not luck or blessing, and in medicine, multiple pregnancies are high-risk pregnancies.
Every mother with multiple pregnancies has passed many dangerous hurdles.
On March 28, a pair of twin babies in Anyang, Henan Province, were born prematurely, and because of premature birth, both babies suffered from neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal sepsis, respiratory failure, congenital pneumonia and other symptoms.
Critically ill, the brothers were sent to the neonatal intensive care unit for treatment as soon as they were born.
On April 16, Ms. Xie, who was 36 weeks pregnant in Wuhan for 2 days, gave birth to triplets after a caesarean section, and looked at the three cute little babies, Ms. Xie was excited to tears.
But behind this joy, Ms. Xie has endured too much.
When she learned that she was pregnant with triplets, the doctor who visited the doctor suggested that she have reduced her fetus, but she felt that the three little lives were fate, and since she came, she had to keep them well.
Although I found a more professional hospital obstetric examination, it is really difficult to conceive three babies.
In the second trimester, Ms. Xie appeared to have lower limb thrombosis, and at about 20 weeks of pregnancy, Ultrasound B found that the cervical opening had a tendency to shorten, and if further developed, the triplets were likely to "fall out" from the uterus.
Therefore, in the last 4 months of pregnancy, Ms. Xie was in bed for fetal protection treatment... Along the way, it is really very hard, fortunately, the mother and baby are safe.
At the beginning of February, Taiwanese actress Lin Shuyao, who was pregnant with twins through test tubes, suddenly became popular at 31 weeks, and when she went to the hospital, the uterine opening had been opened for three centimeters, and the doctor suggested that she be hospitalized immediately and continue until the birth.
But the next day, Lin Shuyao's twin baby was born prematurely, and as soon as she was born, she went into the incubator.
There is too much uncertainty about being pregnant with twins, and pregnant mothers must be especially careful!
Let's first understand what is a multiple pregnancy?
Multiple pregnancies refer to pregnancies that are called multiple pregnancies when there are two or more fetuses in the uterine cavity at the same time during pregnancy, of which twin pregnancies are the most common.
In which cases will you become pregnant with twins or multiple children?
1. Fertility assistance means
Studies have shown that in vitro fertilization, ovulation-promoting drugs increase the odds of twins, and in the past few years, the use of assisted reproductive treatment has increased significantly, and fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine artificial insemination (IUI) and ovulation induction (OI) are one of the main reasons for the sharp increase in twins.
In assisted fertility treatment such as IVF, in order to improve the chance of pregnancy, 2 embryos are usually released, and ovulation drugs such as clomiphene may allow the body to release several eggs at the same time, which will increase the chances of twins and multiple births.
2. Older women are more likely to conceive twins
Yes, delaying childbearing age increases the odds of conceiving twins.
Because twins can be considered an abnormal reproductive phenomenon to some extent, it can only happen if the embryo is abnormally developed, or if two eggs are laid at once.
As women grow older, the irregular occurrence of the ovulation cycle will increase higher than before, so that the possibility of ovulating two eggs at the same time will increase significantly, and the probability of conceiving twins will increase.
Pregnant mother friendly reminder: do not get pregnant late in order to conceive twins, it is very hard to conceive twin babies, the higher the risk of complications, late pregnancy, the chance of conception is reduced, and the risk of abnormal fetal development and miscarriage will increase accordingly.
Multiple pregnancies are really extremely dangerous!
Multiple mothers and fetuses are more likely to suffer complications than singletons, and the risk is multiplied.
1. Risk to the fetus
premature birth. The most common occurrence of multiple births is preterm birth, which accounts for more than half of the incidence, and complications of preterm birth increase the risk of stillbirth by about 5 times and the risk of neonatal death by 6 times.
Intrauterine growth is restricted. Excessive crowding in the uterus or the inability of the placenta to keep up with nutrition can lead to limited intrauterine growth.
hydramnios. Multiple pregnancies produce more fluid than singletons, and if there is too much amniotic fluid, be sure to observe as directed by your doctor.
Umbilical cord abnormalities: single amniotic sac twins are prone to umbilical cord entanglement and twisting, which can lead to fetal death, umbilical cord prolapse is also a common complication of twins, mostly occurs in the fetal position abnormality, or fetal pre-exposure is not connected to the premature rupture of membranes, and after the first birth, before the second fetus delivers, is the main cause of acute fetal hypoxia death.
Twin transfusion syndrome. Between 10% and 15% of identical twins develop this syndrome, a serious complication in which blood flows from one baby to another through a shared placenta. As a result, one infant gets too much blood, which places a burden on the cardiovascular system, leading to too much amniotic fluid (too much amniotic fluid), while another infant does not get enough blood or produces enough amniotic fluid (too little amniotic fluid).
Low birth weight. It is very common for twins and triplets to fail to reach a healthy weight before birth.
Birth defects and neurodevelopmental problems. Multiple infants are twice as likely to be born with birth defects, including neural tube defects such as spina bifida and heart and gastrointestinal abnormalities.
2. Risk to pregnant mothers
Hypertension in pregnancy. Mothers with multiple pregnancies are more than doubling their chances of developing high blood pressure and will occur earlier, which is dangerous for mothers and can lead to pregnancy complications such as stunted growth and development of babies.
Gestational diabetes mellitus. Mothers with multiple pregnancies are 1.5 times more likely to develop gestational diabetes than women who have single births, and if the blood sugar control during pregnancy is not well controlled, it will put both the mother and the baby in danger.
Intrahepatic cholestasis in pregnancy. The incidence rate is twice that of single-child pregnancies, and bile acid can often be more than ten times higher than normal, which is easy to cause preterm birth, fetal distress, stillbirth, stillbirth, and high perinatal mortality.
Preeclampsia. The incidence is about 10% to 15%, which is two to three times that of a singleton pregnancy, and once preeclampsia appears, it is very dangerous.
Placental abruption. Is the main cause of prenatal haemorrhage in twin pregnancies, may be related to the increased incidence of hypertension in pregnancy, and a sudden reduction in the volume of the uterine cavity after the first child delivery is another common cause of placental abruption.
Gastrointestinal problems. Because of changes in hormones during pregnancy, coupled with more space for multiple pregnant fetuses, it can lead to more severe constipation, heartburn and other gastrointestinal problems.
In addition to the above 6 points, multiple pregnancies will also increase the risk of anemia, premature rupture of membranes, caesarean section, and postpartum hemorrhage!
The risk of multiple pregnancies must be paid attention to, follow the doctor's advice, in order to ensure the safety of the mother and baby as much as possible!
Mothers with multiple pregnancies must do these things to protect themselves and their babies!
In natural conception, twins account for the largest proportion, and although there are triplets and quadruplets, there is a lot of incidence.
If you are pregnant with twins or multiples, you must follow the doctor's advice to get pregnant, and also do the following to save yourself and the baby.
Regular obstetric check-ups – Twins account for the majority in natural conception, and although triplets and quadruplets are also available, the incidence is very low, so don't worry too much.
Watch out for signs of preterm birth – preterm birth is more common when twins are born, and if you notice any of the following symptoms, contact your doctor immediately: bleeding or abnormal vaginal discharge, contractions, diarrhea, etc.
Be sure to go to the hospital to give birth - due to the particularity and danger of multiple pregnancies, it is required that the mother must go to the hospital to give birth, and it is best to go to the top three hospitals with better medical conditions. In order to get timely rescue when there is danger, such as timely caesarean section in the event of obstructed labor, and rescue equipment and blood banks such as blood transfusion when bleeding heavily.
Healthy Eating – Moms of Twins need to supplement their two babies with calories, make sure the calories come from nutrient-rich foods, and eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains! Supplement with enough protein and calcium.
Healthy weight gain – 17-25 kg should be gained during twin pregnancy, and if overweight (BMI 25-29.9), 14 to 23 kg! If obese (BMI 30 or above), increase by 11 to 19 kg! The specific scope of weight gain should be followed by the doctor's advice.
Prepare the delivery package in advance - many twin babies are born in advance, so parents of twins are best to start stockpiling some knowledge of feeding and nursing of premature babies in the third trimester to avoid being busy when the time comes.
Evaluate certain symptoms immediately – rapid weight gain or headaches, you should see a doctor right away to rule out the problem, twin pregnancies have a higher risk of complications, so any unusual symptoms should be evaluated!
Rational treatment of fetal reduction - there are relevant regulations in the mainland, for multiple pregnancies to implement fetal reduction according to the situation, especially for pregnant women with advanced age, scarred uterus, uterine malformations, cervical insufficiency or other diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, etc., multiple pregnancies are recommended to be reduced to singletons.
Therefore, if the doctor has undergone a comprehensive assessment and recommends fetal reduction, you must not blindly insist on it, compared to the number, the safety of the mother and baby is the best result!
Hope all the best for pregnant mothers!
I hope all babies are born healthy and safe!
