A 24-year-old woman welcomed the arrival of triplets, two girls and a boy, at week 36 of her pregnancy. The news of carrying triplets came as a surprise to her, as she had initially believed she was pregnant with twins. However, after a thorough ultrasound at Hai Phong Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital confirmed it was triplets, she was admitted to the hospital due to lower abdominal pain.
The woman gave birth to healthy babies through a cesarean section to ensure a safe delivery. One of the baby girls was transferred to the neonatal department for monitoring due to signs of jaundice. But all four children and the mother are now in stable health and have been discharged from the hospital.
Natural triplets are rare, with a rate of 1/8,000 births recorded in world literature. In Vietnam, cases of naturally conceived triplets are also very rare. Women with multiple pregnancies should pay close attention to their diet and rest to ensure the health of both themselves and their babies. Regular check-ups and monitoring by doctors are essential to detect and address any potential complications.
Proper nutrition and rest are key factors in managing a high-risk pregnancy, as well as regular medical monitoring. Nutrition supplements can also play an important role in supporting the health of both the mother and the fetuses in multiple pregnancies.
