The other day, a baby was born from a clinic in Singapore with a weight of only 212 grams and a tiny body 24 cm long, she became the smallest child in the world.
She is fine now, her name is Kuek Yu Xuan. The family lives in Malaysia, the mother of the baby, Won Mei Lin, works in Singapore.
The family also has an older son, who is currently 4 years old. At first, the pregnancy was normal, everything was fine, and the couple was preparing to become parents, but in June, she suddenly felt severe pain in her stomach.
She was immediately taken to the hospital, where doctors diagnosed her with preeclampsia. With this disease, blood pressure reaches the most critical levels and swelling of the internal organs begins.
There was a threat to the life of the mother and child. Doctors decide to perform an emergency caesarean section when the period was only 25 weeks out of 40.
The doctors of this clinic saw such a small newborn for the first time. There was little chance of breastfeeding the baby.
According to the neonatologist, the doses of drugs were calculated for her individually, up to tenths. Diapers had to be cut and folded so that they had minimal contact with the baby’s skin.
And now, after 13 long months, a small child finally returns home. For treatment, parents had to pay a tidy sum, which was helped by caring residents of the city.
Now the baby weighs 6 kilograms 300 grams. Unfortunately, such an early birth led to a chronic lung disease, due to which she cannot fully breathe.
And according to doctors’ forecasts, Yu Xuan’s condition will improve. And for his parents, and for the whole of Singapore, this baby is a real miracle and a ray of hope.
