Here, after examination, the doctors determined that this was a case of large weight, causing difficulties for anesthesia and surgery. Therefore, the doctors consulted to come up with strategies and backup plans to ensure the safety of the mother and fetus.

With the smooth coordination between the anesthesia team and the surgical team, the surgery went smoothly, the baby was born weighing 4,100 grams, rosy, crying loudly, and having good reflexes.

According to Dr. Hoang Thi Ngoc Lan - Deputy Head of the Department of Obstetrics and Reproductive Health Care, Cam Khe District Medical Center, this is the heaviest pregnant woman that the department has received for treatment. For pregnant women with large weight, obesity always has many potential risks, especially with a large amount of fat, thick abdominal wall causing difficulty in the process of removing the fetus and the risk of infection after surgery.

Fortunately, with careful preparation and active treatment, the patient's postoperative prognosis is good and he is expected to be discharged in the next few days.

Doctors say that during pregnancy, weight gain is necessary to ensure the health of the mother and the development of the fetus. However, gaining too much or too little weight can cause negative effects. Therefore, maintaining a reasonable weight during pregnancy plays an essential role in helping pregnant mothers have a safe and healthy pregnancy.
