Translation

The birth of a mother who gave birth to twins twice in a row, known as ‘double twins’, will be revealed on ‘Our Baby Was Born’.

On TV CHOSUN childbirth variety show ‘Our Baby Was Born(directed by Lee Seung-hoon and Kim Jun/written by Jang Joo-yeon)’ that will air on the afternoon of the 20th, a mother who gave birth to twins twice in a row through natural pregnancy will appear.The mother of the twins gave birth to fraternal twins via cesarean section and then naturally became pregnant with fraternal twin girls again.The odds of getting pregnant with fraternal twins, which are said to be even lower than getting pregnant with triplets, are extremely rare at ‘1 in 100,000’.’Swoonpung Duo’ Park Soo-hong and Yang Se-hyung unanimously said, “This is the first time we’ve heard of it.”



The due date was approaching, but the mother of the twins was already anxious due to her experience with premature birth during her first pregnancy with twins.Mothers who have experienced premature birth are three times more likely to have premature births in the future.That is why she could not get fetal insurance for her second set of twins.In addition, when the first twin was born, one of the babies could not breathe, so both twins had to stay in the neonatal intensive care unit(NICU)for three weeks.The memory of giving birth but not being able to see the babies traumatized the mother.Furthermore, both of the second twins were ‘transverse’, meaning they were lying sideways.Obstetrician-gynecologist Kim Ji-yeon, who was in charge of the consultation, said, “It’s driving me crazy.Even if it’s a ‘single fetus’, the doctors get very nervous if it’s a ‘transverse fetus’.There is a lot of bleeding during surgery and it takes a long time.”

As expected, as soon as the surgery began, the mother’s blood pressure began to drop.The medical staff became busy because if there was any delay, both the mother and the twins could be in danger.In addition, after the surgery began, the medical staff shouted, “Huh?” and at the same time, the obstetrician and gynecologist was caught on camera urgently requesting collaboration from other medical staff and calling them to the operating room.Park Soo-hong was worried outside the operating room with the husband of the mother of the twins, saying, “Is it possible for a surgery to take this long?” The husband, who was trembling with anxiety, waited anxiously for his wife, saying, “The mother is in danger too, but you were too concerned and worried about the babies.”

The birth story of the mother of ‘double twins’, who made everyone’s hearts race with unexpected variables and the longest surgery time in the history of ‘Our Baby Was Born’, will be revealed on TV CHOSUN ‘Our Baby Was Born’, the first childbirth broadcast variety show in Korea, which will air tonight(the 20th)at 10 PM.
