"The danger faced by a woman in childbirth is no less than stepping into a ghost gate. When faced with the birth of multiple births, it is even more "dangerous".
And a hospital in Beijing in 02 ushered in the mother of the first quintuplets in the mainland.
In fact, at the time, it was not only the difficulty of multiple birth surgery that made it difficult for medical staff, but also the complexity of giving birth to elderly mothers.
However, what is unexpected is that after more than 20 years of successfully raising the child after "dangerously", his biological mother bluntly said: "I regret giving birth to them." ”
What is going on, and what has this "special heroic mother" experienced in the past twenty years to say such a thing?
1. Special pregnant women
Wang Cuiying and her husband have been married for many years, although their lives are not rich and expensive, they are self-sufficient, and their daughter Ning Ning is also unusually well-behaved and sensible.
On the whole, it can barely be regarded as "poor and happy".
The fly in the ointment is the mother-in-law's pregnancy, after all, in that patriarchal era, the "importance" of boys to the elderly in rural areas is self-evident.
The invisible pressure of her mother-in-law and the gossip of the neighborhood made her feel anxious, but no matter how hard she tried, Wang Cuiying's stomach did not "react at all", and even in the end, the couple had given up the idea of rebirth.
However, the drama of fate is to "bring you hope when you are desperate", and in 2001, Wang Cuiying found out that she was pregnant with quadruplets during a physical examination.
The news of multiple births "smashed" in this small family, but the couple was happy and inevitably a little worried: "It is difficult enough to raise one child, let alone four more?"
At the doctor's suggestion, the couple went to a hospital in Beijing, hoping to have a surgical procedure to reduce the fetus. But the results of the examination surprised the couple, Wang Cuiying was pregnant with not quadruplets but quintuplets.
What's more, at this time, she has passed the best fetal reduction period, and the operation is "very dangerous".
The misfortune is that under the doctor's inform, they also learned that the chance of success in giving birth to quintuplets is 1 in 60 million, and the chance of all fetuses surviving is even more minimal, and it is likely that the fetus will eventually slip naturally.
But fortunately, fate "favored" them, and the child grew "healthy" throughout the pregnancy.
However, in this process of giving birth to life, Wang Cuiying suffered from severe pain, and her abdomen expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even her ability to take care of herself in daily life was greatly affected.
And in order not to hurt her baby, she often has to sit on the ground and change positions from time to time.
As her pregnancy progressed, her heart and lungs were squeezed to the point where she could not breathe properly, and her blood supply was affected.
At this time, for the sake of the health of the baby and the mother, the doctor proposed to perform a caesarean section in advance. However, as a mother, Wang Cuiying is worried about the dangers of the operation, and would rather bear the pain herself than let the fetus mature in the womb until term.
Finally, in May 2002, this great mother underwent a caesarean section in the hospital and gave birth to the child smoothly, becoming the first pregnant woman with quintuplets in the mainland.
But because five children were born prematurely, they ended up weighing only half the weight of a normal child.
In addition to the health problems of the children, the young couple was faced with one of the most realistic problems: "money!"
Second, the bitterness comes sweetly
Although the hospital is humanitarian, it has waived most of the expenses for this small family that is not very wealthy. But the medical expenses left behind still overwhelmed the two.
To cover these costs, they had to borrow and take out loans.
The misfortune is not a single thing, in the later physical examination, the second child suffered from colitis because of premature birth and frailty, and then the third and fourth children also suffered from the disease successively.
Just when Wang Cuiying and his wife were at a loss and didn't know how to face all this, all walks of life extended a helping hand to help reduce their burden.
In 2005, when the children were of school age, the couple made an amazing decision.
That is, for the sake of the children to receive a better education, go north to work and study!
But the pain of living in a different place is not the weight that her small shoulders can bear.
The daily expenses of sending children to school are all inescapable problems. Fortunately, there are still many good people in the world, and with the help of various welfare groups, some schools are willing to admit five children for free and waive all fees.
In 2008, she and her five children were invited by the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee to be special guests of the torch relay.
They shared the "blessing" with the five Fuwa of the Olympic Games, and they suddenly became the focus of society.
At the age of 16, the couple also took their children to the well-known show "Mamma Mia", and bluntly said in the show that if there was a chance to do it again, maybe she would not choose to let the child be born and live a hard life with her.
For a while, everyone present was moved, but everyone present knew that the great parents had done everything they could to give their children the "best".
But just when everything was going in a good direction, the family suffered another "near-devastating blow". In 2017, Wang Cuiying's husband, who was working outside, unfortunately passed away due to overwork, and the burden of the family fell on her shoulders alone.
Even though she was very sad in the face of her husband's departure, she was determined not to collapse for the sake of her children. In order to ease the burden, she decided to return to her hometown in Hebei Province and let her children continue their education.
But fortunately, God is not bringing bad luck to this unfortunate family, and the bitterness is sweet.
In 2020, the 5 children who have grown up took the college entrance examination at the same time, among which only the second son's score was lower than Sun Shan, and the score line of the remaining children all reached the undergraduate level.
Now the children have their own lives, but what remains unchanged is their love for their mother.
However, it is a pity that not all quintuplets mothers in this world are as lucky as Wang Cuiying......
3. "Quintuplets"
In 2011, in a tense operating room, Zheng Xiaoni was experiencing the most painful moment of her life. Doctors were performing a C-section on her, and despite the excruciating pain, she persevered.
With the operation progressing, small lives have come to this world one after another, but unfortunately the fourth born baby left this world because of breathing problems.
Other children were born prematurely, with various problems.
Fortunately, with the help of doctors, the vital signs of the four people quickly stabilized. However, the joy of the family was soon replaced by the pressure of reality, and the huge medical expenses put the already poor family in a difficult situation.
In order to pay for these expenses, men have to work hard and do everything they can to support their families. But unfortunately, as early as two years ago, due to an accident, his arm was cut by iron and fell off, and he was disabled and unable to do physical work.
But fortunately, when this special family faced difficulties, all walks of life reached out to help. Many people helped them through donations, donations, etc., so that the family felt the great love of the world.
These acts of kindness not only relieved their financial pressure, but also gave them moral support and encouragement.
A baby product company learned about the family's plight and specially provided them with their child's milk powder. Henan's big brother traveled thousands of miles and sent 30,000 yuan to help him improve his life.
Now Zheng Xiaoni and her four children have already passed the most difficult period. Although there is still a long way to go, they are still full of confidence.
As long as the family can be together peacefully, there is no "mountain they can't climb" in the world.
The author thinks
It doesn't matter if you give birth to five, or if you give birth to one. The "special profession" of motherhood can be regarded as the "greatest" existence in the world.
Whether it is in pregnancy or in the process of parenting, the hardships they have paid and the energy they have invested are far beyond the imagination of the world.
That's probably why they're the most respectable group.
