Rare natural triplets

Phu Tho A 25-year-old woman naturally conceived triplets, giving birth to a fraternal boy and two identical girls at 37 weeks of pregnancy, a rare case.

On June 26, Dr. Hoang Thi Chung, Head of Obstetrics Department 1, Phu Tho Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital, said that this was a special triplet birth, because the mother naturally conceived one baby from a different egg, and two babies from the same egg. The rate of this case is extremely low, about 1/200,000 births.

This mother was pregnant for the first time, in which one fetus was a fraternal boy with one placenta and one amniotic sac; two identical girls had two amniotic sacs and shared a placenta. During the pregnancy, the mother's health was stable.

The pregnant woman was admitted to the hospital at 36 weeks and 4 days of pregnancy. The doctor ordered a cesarean section to ensure safety on June 25. The first baby boy weighed 2 kg, the next baby girl weighed 2.1 kg, and the third baby girl weighed 1.9 kg, all healthy.

Dr. Chung recommends that women carrying multiple pregnancies should pay attention to their diet, because the nutritional needs of the fetus are doubled or tripled compared to a single pregnancy. Mothers need to supplement more nutrients to reduce the risk of malnutrition for the baby even after birth. Mothers also need to rest a lot, relax, and avoid overwork to limit the risk of pregnancy complications.

Pregnant women must have regular check-ups and be closely monitored by doctors to assess the development of the fetus and the health of the mother in order to promptly detect and handle any unusual signs.
