A Korean woman has given birth to quadruplets, three girls and one boy, after fertility treatment.
The parents are Cha Ji-hye (37), an employee of a conglomerate, and Song Li-won (39),
a manager at BlueOval SK, the electric-car battery joint venture of SK On and Ford.
Doctors say the chances of having quadruplets naturally are one in a million pregnancies.
Last year, a woman who worked for POSCO also had quadruplets, but it was not her first childbirth.
Cha's babies are two monozygotic girls who grew in the same egg while the others grew in different eggs.
They were born on March 16 at just 33 weeks, two months earlier than the due date.
The first was the smallest with a birth weight of a mere 0.9 kg, but she left hospital in good health last week.
Married in September 2020, Song and Cha visited a fertility clinic in June last year.
The first pregnancy test suggested they were expecting twins, the second test a week later that they had triplets,
and it took another test to reveal the startling reality.
첫댓글 First of all, congratulations 🎊
It is a blessing to give birth to four babies 👶
Artificial pregnancy has a high probability of pregnancy, but there are risks to mother.
That's right!!
It is said that pregnancy by artificial insemination is highly likely to be twinned,
but the process is a significant physical burden for the mother.
Welcome, 에리카님~
Come to the E- club often.^^
One in a million chance..
It is a blessing from heaven..
I hope the four babies grow up healthy with parents...
I'm sure your hope will come true.
The babies are sure to grow up healthy and would be valuable assets to future Korea....
It was a real celebration~~
But the mother must have had a hard time while she was pregnant.
I hope the children grow up healthy.
I know how hard it is to raise a twin.
Because I've actually watched my younger sister gave a birth to a twin and raised them.
Nevertheless…raising four twins?
Oh, my goodness !!! ...^&^
