Ten years of preparation for pregnancy, I am happy to conceive a twin, and a pair of children born prematurely weighs only one-fifth of a normal child.
As the saying goes, children are debts owed by their parents in their previous lives. And this debt is a huge debt for Xiao Shao, a farmer in Nanyang who is a father.
html After 190, he was poor, and after ten years of begging for a baby, he was born prematurely, and he spent 180,000 yuan within 18 days of being admitted to the hospital. In the next two months, the two babies will have to rely on the incubator to maintain their lives. It is conservatively estimated that the cost will be more than 600,000 yuan.
is such a "high-priced baby", and Xiao Shao and his wife never thought of giving up.

Shanshan (pseudonym), elder sister with twins, super-premature baby; Chenchen (pseudonym), younger brother with twins, super-premature. The gestational age of the two babies is 25 weeks and 2 days, and the birth weight is only 830g, which is only 1/5 of the normal birth weight. The data show that the survival rate of fetuses weighing 750g and gestational age of 26 weeks does not exceed 10%.
The child's father Xiao Shao and mother Xiao Gu are both in their 30s. Since becoming pregnant with these two children, Xiao Gu has spent almost every day in the hospital. More than 6 months of pregnancy, more than 6 months of miscarriage protection. The child was born in a hurry within three days from the emergency referral from the Nanyang Central Hospital to the Henan Provincial People's Hospital.
But before Xiao Shao, who was crying with joy, recovered, the two children were both sent to the incubator in the intensive care unit. On the
side, Xiao Shao has been waiting for 10 years, draining his money.
Xiao Shao's wishes for the two children
The knot
At the beginning of 2011, Xiao Shao met his current wife, Xiao Gu, through the introduction of his cousin, and the two held their wedding six months later.The newly married Xiao Shao is full of expectations for the future. He wants to be a good husband, a good son, a good father, have children, treat his parents well, and create an ordinary and happy family.
The life after marriage is sweet and warm, the young couple treat each other like guests, and He and Meimei manage their little days. With a few acres of thin fields and a small courtyard, Xiao Shao went out to work to subsidize the family during the slack. His wife served her in-laws and took care of housework at home. The fly in the ointment is that the little angel they hit has not come to report.
Half a year has passed, and my wife Xiao Gu's stomach has not moved. The couple who were eager to have a child went to the County Maternal and Child Health Hospital to check the cause. The doctor prescribed medicines for them separately and instructed them to prepare carefully and prepare. At this time, Xiao Shao didn't know that from the moment he stepped into the gate of the county maternal and child health care hospital, the two of them were greeted by a long journey of seeking medical treatment for ten years.
Talking about the hardships over the past ten years, Xiao Shao was emotionally devastated
5 test tubes
Xiao Shao's four sisters, his father lost his ability to work due to hemiplegia caused by a cerebral infarction when he was 9 years old, and his mother basically lost his source of income because of taking care of his father. Although life was a bit tight, Xiao Shao could clearly see the relieved expressions on his parents' faces when the six children of the three families of brother, sister and brother were playing in a small courtyard that was not spacious.
But Xiao Shao and his wife have been married for many years, but there is no movement at all. The expectation, helplessness, and the cautious expression on the face of them, for fear of hurting the young couple from time to time, pierced Xiao Shao deeply.
Once, my mother chatted with a neighbor and said, "I really want my second child to have a child of his own." At that time, the mother saw him approaching, and immediately stopped talking. Xiao Shao walked over quickly, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.Self-blame, distressed, helpless... He felt sorry for his mother, which made her worry.
Xiao Shao said: "Every mother wants to see her child happy, and so does my mother." He told himself that no matter how difficult it was, he would definitely try his best to have a child of his own at all costs. , to reassure mothers over sixty years old.
In 2013, Xiaoshao and his wife came to Nanyang Central Hospital for re-examination, but they were still unsuccessful. The family didn't have much savings, and after the two examinations and treatments, they had no money. The two rushed to Shanghai to work before the Spring Festival to save money to see a doctor.
Xiao Shao said: "That was the first time I went to Shanghai. There are high-rise buildings everywhere. I don't know where I should go or what I can do." . Xiao Gu also found a job selling ice cream, earning about 3,000 yuan a month. The two of them live frugally and save two or three thousand yuan a month, excluding rent and living expenses. In this way, the two worked until the end of 2015, saving 60,000 yuan.
In early 2016, the couple went to Nanyang Central Hospital for artificial insemination. Artificial insemination has requirements on the body. Basically, it can only be done once every two months, and it costs about 3,000 yuan each time. They did 5 or 6 artificial inseminations that year.
At the beginning of 2017, the two went to Shanghai to work again. Xiao Shao still works as a security guard, earning 130 yuan a day, while Xiao Gu sells clothes in a children's clothing store for more than 4,000 yuan a month. They worked until early 2019, when they went to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine to do test tubes. During this period, 2 egg retrieval operations and 5 test tubes were performed, and one test tube cost tens of thousands.
On the night of January 14, 2021, Xiao Shao received a call from his wife, and the result of the early pregnancy test was positive—the pregnancy was successful! That night, Xiao Shao didn't fall asleep all night, and he kept thinking: "I finally have my own baby!" The next day, Xiao Gu took a blood test at Henan Provincial People's Hospital to confirm that she was pregnant. I saw hope in the process of seeking children.
Xiao Shao is anxiously waiting for his wife in the rescue room

Sister Shanshan's diagnosis certificate
Brother Chenchen's diagnosis certificate
Both babies live in incubators to maintain their lives, and both have neonatal respiratory distress syndrome and neonatal asphyxia and other preterm infants. Moreover, the elder sister belongs to the ultra-low preterm infant, and the younger brother belongs to the ultra-premature infant. At the same time, there are symptoms of neonatal respiratory failure. At present, they can only rely on nutrient solution to maintain their lives.
