Chapter 986: Twins Born a Month Apart
After the National Day, Guo Xiang went back to work in the hospital.
Not long after I got to work, a woman in her twenties walked in with a child in her arms, looking anxious.
"Doctor, can you show me what's wrong with my child?"
Guo Xiang saw that the child's face was yellow, and even his neck was a little yellow, so he hurriedly asked the woman to hold the child closer.
When I opened the child's eyelids, even the iris was a little yellow.
"This is neonatal jaundice, how old is the baby?" Guo Xiang said.
"Just over a month." The woman said, "The co-workers I worked with also said that it was jaundice, but they said it would be fine in a few days, but why hasn't my child been well for a month?" ”
"A month?" Guo Xiang has hugged the child, the child is very small, it looks like it has not been born for a few days, generally newborns have physiological jaundice, and do not use medicine, bask in the sun more, and it will be fine in a few days.
When the yellow fades, the skin will turn white, but it is not normal to be so yellow after a month, it may be pathological jaundice.
Neonatal jaundice is the high level of blood bilirubin, which is deposited on the skin and internal organs, and the skin of the child can be seen to have yellow staining.
Physiological jaundice is normal and occurs in almost every newborn, appearing 2-3 days after birth, peaking in 4-6 days and resolving in 7-10 days.
If jaundice occurs 24 hours after birth, the daily serum bilirubin elevation exceeds 5 mg/dL or more than 0.5 mg/dL per hour, the duration is long, the term infant is more than 2 weeks, the preterm infant is more than 4 weeks and does not go away, and even continues to deepen or regress after recurrence, or the jaundice begins to appear within 1 week to several weeks after birth, all are pathological jaundice.
"When did the child start yellowing?" Guo Xiang asked.
"After I was born, my face was a little yellow, and they said it was normal, so I didn't care. I took my child to bask in the sun every day, but it's been a month, and it's not only not better, it's worse. ”
"Doctor, is my son sick with something?" The woman said worriedly.
Guo Xiang nodded, "It should be pathological jaundice, and it should be treated, mainly by blue light." ”
"What light?" The woman did not understand.
"It is a kind of light emitted by a machine, and blue light can cure jaundice in children. But is your baby premature? Why is the weight so light? Guo Xiang took the child in his hand, a month is too young.
"Yes, I was born more than a month prematurely, probably tired." The woman's face was a little red, "I'm a foreigner, and I followed my man to work in the capital, and I worked on the construction site, and my man was a cement worker, so I helped cook on the construction site......"
Guo Xiang nodded, and now he is building buildings everywhere and building houses everywhere. After the auction of his own land, he is also building a community, and this woman and her husband may not necessarily do it on their own construction site.
"Don't work so hard when you're pregnant, and don't go home to give birth?" Guo Xiang sighed.
"Don't you want to make more money?" The woman was a little embarrassed.
"The child will be treated in the hospital, and he is so thin and ......" Guo Xiang took a thermometer to measure the child's body, and when he saw it, it was only thirty-six degrees, which was considered hypothermia.
"Has the child been in no energy for the past two days?" Guo Xiang frowned.
"yes, doctor, how do you know?" The woman asked curiously.
"The body temperature is so low, you have to put an incubator!" Guo Xiang shook his head.
"What, what do you mean?" The woman's face changed drastically, "My child is in danger?" ”
Guo Xiang was just about to say, but the woman suddenly covered her stomach and shouted, "Ah, my stomach hurts so much, I ...... It's like I'm going to give birth......"
"What?" Guo Xiang was shocked, how could it be? Isn't it only a month since I was born?
Even if you have children in your life and have sex with you, it will take ten months to conceive another one, how can it be so fast?
Is it a delusion?
The woman herself was shocked when she said it, but it felt exactly like when she gave birth to her son, and her stomach hurt for a while, like labor pain.
"I ...... I can't do it, it's so painful......" The woman was about to fall down while holding her stomach, Guo Xiang was still holding the child in her hand and couldn't help her, so she hurriedly shouted, "Someone, someone outside!" ”
Xu Wei was next door, and hurriedly ran over when he heard the shout, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
The woman had already fallen, and Guo Xiang hurriedly shouted: "Quick, help her!" ”
The child had nowhere to put it, so he had to pick up the phone and call the pediatrician, "Dr. Qiao, there is a child sick here, you should come over quickly." ”
Over there, Xu Wei helped the woman up and sat on the chair and asked, "Are you going to give birth?" ”
"How is that possible? She said that she had only given birth to a child for a month, and no, the child is still in my hands. Guo Xiang pointed to the child in his hand.
"Huh?" Xu Wei was also shocked, "Then her belly is so big, it looks like she hasn't been born yet?" ”
Only then did Guo Xiang notice that the woman's belly was really like being pregnant in October.
Now that it's cold, the woman is wearing a rustic cotton jacket, which is wide and big, so I didn't pay attention just now.
And after giving birth to a child normally, the belly does not shrink, and some people will be like they are still pregnant with a child for four or five months, but it is not normal to be so old.
"Is this kid really yours? Did you really have a baby a month ago? Guo Xiang was skeptical.
"It's true!" The woman nodded with difficulty, her stomach hurt so much that she couldn't stand it, "Doctor, my stomach hurts so much, I can't do it......"
"Impossible, impossible!" Xu Wei shook his head again and again, "Even twins can't be reborn every other month, usually a few minutes, at most an hour or two, how can there be another one every other month?" Unheard! ”
"But, doctor, I really ...... Ah......" the woman cried out in pain, "my stomach hurts, I really feel like I'm going to give birth again......"
Dr. Qiao from the pediatric department rushed over, and Guo Xiang hurriedly handed the child to her, "Physiological jaundice, hypothermia and low weight premature babies ......"
With that said, pediatricians know what to do.
"Okay!" Dr. Qiao hurriedly picked up the child.
Guo Xiang walked up to the woman, picked up the stethoscope and poked into the woman's stomach, as if he really heard the fetal heartbeat, although it was not very obvious.
Guo Xiang had a strange look on his face, how could it be?
"I'll see!" Xu Wei said, also took the stethoscope, and when he heard it, his face became strange.
touched it with his hand again and looked at Guo Xiang, "It seems that there is really a child!" ”
"Enter the delivery room immediately, and immediately push a B-ultrasound machine over!" Guo Xiang made a decision immediately.
called the midwives from the obstetrics and gynecology department to come over and push the woman into the delivery room together, and Xu Wei went to push the lighter B-ultrasound machine over.
When I got on the delivery bed, I took off the woman's cotton clothes, and when I lifted the clothes, I obviously saw the big belly bulging high, as if she had not yet given birth.
Guo Xiang and Xu Wei glanced at each other, to be honest, Guo Xiang had never encountered such a thing in his two lives.
How is it possible that twins are born every other month?
I have seen some domineering presidents have seen similar episodes before, Guo Xiang scoffed, don't write nonsense without medical knowledge, how can twins be born every month?
Can't imagine that this time I'm going to be slapped in the face?
