6-year-old Wang Wei weighs ,320 kilograms. It took her nine years of marriage to get pregnant. Doctors found it unbelievable. It is difficult for obese people to get pregnant. Wang Wei is still an advanced maternal age.
"I only had this child after nine years of marriage. I don't care how big it is. Just keep the younger one. He is very precious." Wang Wei looked at the obstetrics and gynecology doctor and begged.
Wang Wei wanted to give up his life to save his hard-won child. This is an operation with unpredictable risks and difficulty. How can doctors save an overweight pregnant woman and her baby?
Wang Wei and Jin Delong
Fat Girl's Love
"Happiness, I am a mother. Maybe by the time you see this letter, I will no longer be with you." Wang Wei sat on the bed and wrote this letter to leave Children's letters.
Wang Wei, who lives in Shenyang , and her husband Jin Delong had been married for nine years before they conceived this child. When was 35 days away from being produced, Wang Wei's already weighed 320 kilograms.
Wang Wei has been overweight since he was a child. He went to school when he was a child and worked when he grew up. He always heard some ridicule. After marrying Jin Delong, Wang Wei wanted to lose weight.
王伟
After so many years of gaining weight, how could it be so easy to lose weight? Wang Wei couldn't hold on to at first, and his weight kept changing repeatedly.
What really motivated her to lose weight was that she and her husband Jin Delong have been married for several years but have never had children of their own.
When Jin Delong and Wang Wei were together, Jin Delong's parents didn't like their daughter-in-law very much. Jin Delong is not tall and thin, while Wang Wei stands like a wall.
But Jin Delong resisted the pressure from his parents, and Wang Wei entered the marriage hall in 2008.
When Wang Wei and Jin Delong
first got married, Wang Wei weighed around 200 kilograms. In 2009 , Wang Wei was involved in a car accident when he was riding his bicycle. His leg was seriously injured and he could only recuperate at home.
Lying in bed for a long time to recuperate, Jin Delong was worried that his wife would not have enough nutrition and her health would not recover, so he kept giving her nutritional supplements.
In just a few months, Wang Wei's weight soared to about 300 pounds. Wang Wei's mother had been worried when she came to see her. Her daughter used to be fat, but she was still within the normal range. What should she do now that she weighs more than 300 pounds?
Wang Wei and Jin Delong
During the months of recuperation, Wang Wei's appetite became better and better. Coupled with her lack of exercise, , her weight continued to increase in the next few years, reaching 382 pounds at her fattest.
An overweight body not only brings difficulty in movement, every organ in her body is under pressure several times that of a normal person.
The doctor gave Wang Wei an order to lose weight. If he continues to gain weight, Wang Wei's life may be threatened. In 2015, Wang Wei started to lose weight.
Wang Wei
Pregnant after losing 140 pounds
Wang Wei used both exercise and diet under the guidance of professionals. After experiencing unimaginable pain, Wang Wei lost 140 pounds in one year.
In 2016 her weight was the thinnest in recent years, 40 pounds. At this time, Wang Wei's body has begun to lean towards health. As long as she insists on losing weight, her body will be like a normal person.
htmlIn September , Wang Wei always felt a little strange in his body and occasionally felt like vomiting. Is pregnant? Wang Wei had this bold guess in his mind.
Wang Wei
Wang Wei wants to have a child with her husband. This wish seems very simple, but it is very difficult for Wang Wei. She suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome and it is difficult to conceive and have children.
She first tested at home: with two red lines . Wang Wei quickly called her husband Jin Delong. Jin Delong was also very happy. The two decided to go to the hospital for another test.
After going to the hospital for a blood test, it was finally confirmed that Wang Wei was indeed pregnant.Gynecologist looked at the pregnant woman in front of her and couldn't believe it.
王伟
Once you are overweight, it will be difficult to conceive. Wang Wei was able to conceive naturally successfully. But the doctor also specifically warned that Wang Wei's body shape is on the fat side.
If the couple decides to keep the child, it will cause great harm to both the mother and the child.. The doctor asked Wang Wei and Jin Delong to go back and think about it.
As soon as he returned home, Wang Wei made a preemptive strike: "I want to keep this child." Jin Delong sat beside him in silence, and Wang Wei spoke up again: "This may be our only child."
Jin Delong gave it to his wife Massage
Jin Delong looked at his wife in front of him and didn't know what to say. He also wanted to have a child, but with a body like his wife's, could he really hold on?
Wang Wei wanted to keep this child for a very important reason, which was to save his marriage. She and her husband have not had any children since they got married, and Jin Delong’s parents are very dissatisfied.
Jin Delong's brother even came to the door, wanted to persuade the two to separate, but Jin Delong was unwilling. His attitude was very firm and he wanted to stay with his wife.
Wang Wei and Jin Delong
Since that time, Wang Wei has been suffering from heart problems. He doesn't say it, but always thinks in his heart that he must have a child. Now that I am finally pregnant, how can I abort the child?
Jin Delong took his wife to a large hospital. The doctor's advice was the same. It would be difficult for Wang Wei to keep the child. It would be harder for her than ordinary pregnant women.
Wang Wei
320-pound mother
Eight months later, Wang Wei walked into the fetal heart rate monitoring room accompanied by her husband. At this time, it was only about 35 days before Wang Wei's child's due date, and her weight had reached 320 kilograms.
Wang Wei would be very nervous every time he checked the fetal heartbeat.The fat on his belly was too thick, and the baby kept turning, making it difficult for the doctor to hear the fetal heartbeat.
The nurse kept moving the instrument on Wang Wei's belly, but she could never hear the fetal heartbeat. Due to obesity, ultrasound could not accurately hit the child, and Wang Wei's prenatal checkup was very unsatisfactory.
Wang Wei is worried that the child will be physically disabled after birth. When talked about this, Wang Wei couldn't help wiping away tears. If really made the child defective due to her physical reasons, she would regret it for the rest of her life.
Wang Wei
After asking around, Wang Wei found Xia Yajun, director of the Fifth Obstetrics Department of Shengjing Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University.
Director Xia has worked in the obstetrics and gynecology department for more than 30 years, but this was the first time for her to see an overweight mother like Wang Wei. Being old and overweight, this caesarean section operation was an unprecedented challenge.
Director Xia explained the risks in the operation to Wang Wei and Jin Delong. Once Wang Wei lay on the operating table under anesthesia, all the fat on her belly and the fetus would press against her internal organs.
At this time, Wang Wei's heart and lungs will bear a very heavy burden, and he is likely to suffer cardiac arrest during the operation. Once the abdominal cavity is opened, it is difficult for doctors to determine the position of the fetus due to fat accumulation.
This operation was a huge adventure for the doctor and Wang Wei. After listening to Director Xia's explanation, Wang Wei became more determined with an idea.
Director Xia
Wang Wei: "I have always felt that I owe him something, and I am too old to pay him back. I only had this child after nine years of marriage. You can choose the older one as long as you keep the younger one. He is very precious." "
Looking at the overweight pregnant woman in front of her, Director Xia understood how heavy the burden was on her. She would do her best to protect this heavyweight mother and son.
Wang Wei
Keep it big or keep it small?
When leaving the hospital and going home, Wang Wei had to face another challenge. Their home is on the sixth floor and there is no elevator. Every time Wang Wei comes home for a prenatal checkup, it is a problem.
It takes Wang Wei about 20 minutes to walk up the stairs that ordinary people can climb in a few minutes. She weighs more than 300 kilograms and is pregnant, so she can only walk up with perseverance.
When it comes to sleeping at night, it is even more of a problem. The heavy fat and the eight-month-old child made it difficult for Wang Wei to breathe and unable to turn over when sleeping.
王伟
The fetus gradually grew up, and began to press on Wang Wei's stomach and other internal organs. Various discomforts made it difficult for her to fall asleep, and many times she could only sit on the bedside all night.
As the due date of childbirth was getting closer and closer, Wang Wei's heart gradually rose to his throat. What she is most worried about now is the mood of her husband Jin Delong.
Wang Wei's idea is that in the event of an emergency, the big one should be protected rather than the small one, but Wang Delong just wants to save his wife.
Jin Delong and Wang Wei
Wang Wei: "We discussed it from the beginning, don't let me hate you then." Later, Wang Wei also made a joke, Jin Delong cannot remarry before the child is ten years old.
But no matter what Wang Wei said, Jin Delong never said what Wang Wei wanted to hear. He was still unwilling to nod and agree to his wife's idea of keeping her child alive.
Jin Delong and Wang Wei
The operation process was full of difficulties
The day before the operation, Wang Wei was admitted to the hospital and underwent various physical examinations. Director Xia called Jin Delong to the office, and emphasized to him the risks of surgery.
Wang Wei's obesity and advanced age have greatly increased the difficulty of this operation. The best result is that both Wang Wei and the child survive, but there is a high chance that neither of them can survive.
At 8 o'clock in the morning on May 12, 2017, Wang Wei was pushed into the operating room. But problems arose in the first step of anesthesia with . made it very difficult for the anesthetist.
Director of the Anesthesiology Department
The longest length of the anesthesia needle is 8 cm, and the fat thickness on Wang Wei’s waist is also 8 cm. The anesthesia needle may not be able to be inserted into the anesthesia point of the spinal canal.
The anesthesiologist can only try his best. There should be no deviation in the position of . Once it is not aligned, the length of the needle will not be enough for .
Unfortunately, the first anesthesia failed. The anesthesiologist asked Wang Wei to move his position, and they were ready to try again. 's second anesthesia was successful, and Director Xia immediately started preoperative preparations.
王伟
Once the anesthesia takes effect, Wang Wei's body cannot exert force, The fat on his belly and the weight of the child will all press on the heart and lungs. The doctor must take out the child within 3 minutes, otherwise Wang Wei will be in danger.
Director Xia Yajun cut open the fat on Wang Wei's belly. She couldn't help but exclaim. Even though she was mentally prepared, she did not expect that the fat layer on Wang Wei's belly was 15 centimeters thick.
During the operation
Director Xia must find Wang Wei's uterus in the fat as soon as possible and remove the child, otherwise the child will be hypoxic.
Finally, with the efforts of several doctors, they found the child's head. At this time, there were only 1 minute and 5 seconds left three minutes safety line , .
Normal pregnant women give birth. Once they see the fetus, the doctor will press on the pregnant woman's abdomen to allow the child to be born safely.
But the fat on Wang Wei’s belly was already the same size as ’s uterus, and the doctor couldn’t press it normally. At this time, Wang Wei had begun to have difficulty breathing and was out of breath.
During the operation,
mother and child were safe.
"I will pick up the belly, and you will press it with both hands." Doctors raced against time to leave hope of life for the mother and child. Finally, the child was successfully taken out, weighing 7 pounds and 1 tael, and the mother and child were safe.
The doctor pushed the child out of the delivery room. When they saw the child, the waiting family members were very happy. But Jin Delong's expression was still very heavy, and his wife Wang Wei was still in the operating room.
In the operating room, the doctor is suturing Wang Wei's abdomen. is heavy and has thick fat, so how to suture the abdomen is a big problem.
小福
Outside the operating room, Jin Delong stared at the words "under operation" without blinking his eyes. It had been 50 minutes since the child was taken out, but his wife had not come out yet.
At 10:30 in the morning, the operation lasted for two and a half hours. Wang Wei was pushed out of the operating room by the nurses, and Jin Delong took a long breath.
Jin Delong
In the ward, Wang Wei could not help but turn her face to look at her son, the child she risked her life to save, whose nickname was happiness. "As soon as I saw the baby, I felt no pain." Wang Wei said with a smile.
When Wang Wei was discharged from the hospital, Director Xia went to the ward to visit her. The doctor kept telling Wang Wei repeatedly that she must lose weight quickly after returning home. Obesity is very harmful to the body.
Wang Wei and the child
Epilogue
Throughout her pregnancy, Wang Wei endured greater pressure than the average pregnant woman. Her sense of mission as a mother kept her going.
A mother’s perseverance in protecting her child is unimaginable to ordinary people. After Wang Wei went through many difficulties, she did it. The moment lay on the operating table, she was ready to change her life for another.
Maternal love is a very great emotion. With this emotion, women can do things that ordinary people cannot do.
Pictures come from the Internet
At the same time, it is also a selfless feeling. Mothers never ask their children to repay themselves with anything, but they always give their children something.
Not only mothers, fathers also paid a lot in our lives. Treating parents well means not just giving them some gifts during holidays. What parents need is daily care and companionship. You must always call and care about them.
