Doctors forbade her to give birth, but she did not obey – and now she has four cool kids!
Morales Osuna, a 30-year-old teacher from San Diego, gave birth to three girls and one boy by caesarean section after three years of fertility treatment. She and her husband, 29-year-old Isaac, ignored the doctors’ advice to reduce (that is, remove) two of the quadruplets – and now they have four completely healthy children!
The pregnancy was stress-free and she managed to bring the babies up to 34 weeks. Now that the couple has Marissa, Marcelo, Ivanna and Isabelle, parents are in seventh heaven.
Here it is, happiness!
They started trying to have a baby in 2015, but the woman had several problems conceiving: cysts on the ovaries, an obstructed fallopian tube, and endometriosis. After two cycles of artificial insemination, in which sperm is injected directly into the uterus, Morales became pregnant.
It turns out that the family always dreamed of four children, but hardly imagined that they could all be born at the same time. Doctors immediately talked about the risks of multiple pregnancies and in the seventh week they suggested reducing two embryos. However, for future parents, such a choice turned out to be impossible – after all, these are children, how can they be killed?
Fortunately, during the entire pregnancy, no complications arose, and my mother did not even suffer from toxicosis. However, this does not mean that everything was simple. The longer the period, the harder it became for her to breathe, and her stomach was simply incredibly huge.
And this is what the expectant mother looked like a few minutes before the start of labor.
Doctors set a date for Caesarean, performed an operation. Everything went well: the babies were born large, each weighing about 2 kg – this is very decent for a multiple pregnancy. On the ninth day they were discharged home.
Parents were very nervous at first. They had to resort to the help of nannies who helped them build a correct daily routine. They now describe their lives as martial law, since the fours have to be fed and swaddled at the same time.
Every day is a minimum of 32 diapers plus tons of other washing. However, parents are happy and even take the time to blog online to inspire other potential parents.
Their goal is not only to show the main milestones in the development of fours, but also to convince everyone not to give up their dream of having children. “Our story is a story of hope. Finally, we have a real complete family, ”says Osuna.
