Edit丨Ah Ye
In March 2002, the first quintuplets in mainland China were born safely in Beijing, directly creating a rare miracle in the country.
However, as the children grew older and older, Wang Cuiying, the mother of quintuplets, bluntly said in an interview: "If I can choose again, I won't have any of them." ”
What has happened over the years, and why do quintuplets mothers say they regret it?
Peerless and rare, one child and five puples
In 2001, when Wang Cuiying from Cangzhou, Hebei Province, went to the hospital for a follow-up, the doctor accidentally found that Wang Cuiying was not only pregnant, but also pregnant with quadruplets.
The doctor's unexpected discovery made Wang Cuiying instantly confused, pregnancy was originally a good thing, and her husband had only one daughter after many years of marriage, and out of the influence of the older generation's idea of "raising children and preventing old age", the two have always wanted to have another son.
No one expected that the child was finally here, but a grand prize came directly. The family's conditions are not very wealthy, and having four more children at once is not an ordinary pressure for them.
Considering that Wang Cuiying is 35 years old, and being pregnant with four children at once will cause great harm to the fetus and the mother, the doctor recommended that she go to a big hospital in Beijing for fetal reduction surgery.
With this heavy news, Wang Cuiying returned home, and immediately found her husband to tell him the news of her pregnancy.
After thinking about it, Wang Cuiying still felt that it was inappropriate, so she discussed with her husband the doctor's plan for reducing the fetus, and finally the two decided to follow the doctor's advice to reduce the fetus.
But what the two of them didn't expect was that after the doctor's examination, they were told that Wang Cuiying was not pregnant with quadruplets, but extremely rare quintaplets!
The last time a fetus was not detected, it was because a fetus was blocked. Compared with quadruplets, quintuplets are rarer, and according to relevant statistics, the probability of conceiving quintuplets is about 1 in 60 million.
What is the concept of 1 in 60 million? Taking the two-color ball as an example, the probability of winning the first prize of 5 million is about 1 in 17 million, and the probability of winning 5 million is 3.5 times that of pregnant quintuplets, and its rarity can be imagined.
The doctor's words made the couple bigger, the quadruplets and the couple couldn't afford to raise them, and the quintuplets couldn't even think about it.
However, the doctor told the two that the fetal reduction surgery was not recommended in the current situation, and the fetus in the womb was large, and the best time for fetal reduction had been missed.
Once the fetal reduction surgery is carried out blindly, it is likely that a child will not be saved, and it will cause greater harm to the mother.
The doctor's answer made Wang Cuiying have mixed feelings, she couldn't afford to have five children, and it was a question of whether she would have children after she didn't give birth.
Seeing the couple's entanglement, the doctor reminded that the reason why quintuplets are so rare is because the survival rate of multiple births is not high, and the fetus is easy to miscarry spontaneously during the molding process.
The doctor's words woke up the two in an instant, and Wang Cuiying and her husband finally made up their minds to give birth to the children.
Many sons and many blessings, many disasters and many difficulties
Pregnant in October and given birth in one day, for every mother, giving birth to a child is like passing through the ghost gate. Pregnant with one child is still like this, and Wang Cuiying, who is pregnant with five children, is naturally at a much higher risk.
As the child grew older, Wang Cuiying's stomach was severely squeezed, and it was particularly difficult to even eat. The food you eat will soon vomit out due to discomfort, but if you don't eat it, you are afraid that your child's nutrition will not be enough.
Especially in the third trimester, her oversized belly seriously affected her normal life, she couldn't sleep lying down, nor could she sleep on her side, and she had to change her position every three to five minutes.
Not only that, due to the size of her belly, many of Wang Cuiying's organs were severely compressed, and she even began to have symptoms such as chest tightness and poor breathing. Seeing that the situation was getting worse, Bao Cun sent his wife to the hospital in advance.
As soon as the doctor examined, he found that Wang Cuiying's uterus was as thin as a cicada's wings, and she could bleed heavily at any time. Out of concern for the mother, the doctor recommends that a cesarean section be scheduled as soon as possible.
In March 2002, an unprecedented cesarean section of quintuplets was carried out in Beijing Maternity Hospital.
The old man often said that "many children are blessed", but for these five children and the whole family, it is full of disasters.
Because it was a premature baby, it was sent to an incubator as soon as it was born, and in just a few days, several children developed various symptoms. The second child was diagnosed with colitis, the third child suffered from jaundice, and the fourth child also had some heart problems.
In addition, the various expenses during the hospitalization also made the couple very burdened, although the hospital reimbursed most of them, but the remaining amount was also a lot of pressure for them. Scraping together, smashing pots and selling iron, the couple still persevered.
However, this is the beginning of Wang Cuiying's "nightmare". There are too many children, and the couple can only take care of the baby full-time at home, and Wang Cuiying has not slept well during the entire feeding stage of the child.
Every two hours, all the children have to be fed again, and the five children are fed one after another, Wang Cuiying is really overwhelmed. When a child is hungry, he will cry, and if one child cries, the others will cry too.
Fortunately, because Wang Cuiying is the first mother of quintuplets in China, it has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life, and many caring people have taken the initiative to offer some help to them.
In particular, the milk powder provided by milk powder companies has greatly alleviated the problem of insufficient milk for Wang Cuiying. The elders and relatives of the family also helped them take care of the children, trying to reduce the pressure on the couple.
It is not easy to raise children, love assistance
In 2005, the "True Interaction" column group invited quintuplets to participate in the recording of the program, and the "rubbing corn" performed by the children in the program deeply stung every guest.
When he should have been in school, he was unable to get an education because of poverty. At the guest seat, the chairman of an educational institution said on the spot that he was willing to provide three years of free education for five children.
After thinking about it again, the couple finally decided that Wang Cuiying would take the children to Beijing to study, take care of the children while working, and go south to Zhejiang to work and make money.
In 2008, the Beijing Olympic Committee invited quintuplets to participate in the Olympic torch relay, and the application from three years ago finally had an answer.
When participating in the show that year, the host asked the quintuplets to read the five words "Beijing welcomes you" in order, which made Bao Cun have a special idea.
The mascots of the Beijing Olympics are five Fuwa, and the five children in their own family also have the word "Fu" in their names.
After discussing with his wife, they wrote an application and sent it to the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee, hoping that their children could contribute to the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
Coincidentally, when the name was given, the couple thought that the arrival of the five children was a blessing, meaning "five blessings", so they used the word "Fu" when naming the children, but they didn't expect that there were fixed numbers in the dark.
With the appearance of the quintuplets at the Olympics, the family has also received more attention, and with the help of caring people from all walks of life, several children have grown up.
In 2016, they were invited to participate in the recording of the "Mamma Mia" program, and the five children were so well-behaved and sensible, and the "Listen to Mom" they sang for their mother brought tears to their eyes.
When the reporter asked Wang Cuiying whether she regretted giving birth to quintuplets, she said: "If I can choose again, I will not give birth to any of them." ”
In Wang Cuiying's opinion, although she gave birth to the child, the child has not lived a good life and has been suffering with her, so she regrets it.
However, the children seem to be very sensible, and they are very grateful to their parents for their hard work, and they are also grateful for the help they have been having.
As the quintuplets grew up, they thought that their hard days were finally coming to an end, but their father died due to perennial overwork, and the burden of raising a baby suddenly fell on Wang Cuiying's shoulders.
epilogue
With Wang Cuiying's efforts, the children's reading has not been interrupted, and the children are also very competitive, 4 of them were admitted to the undergraduate program, and 1 was admitted to the junior college.
Today's Wang Cuiying can be regarded as keeping the clouds open and seeing the moon, and finally the bitterness is coming, I believe that with the efforts of the children, the life of the family will get better and better!
