Baby boy weighing nearly 6 kg born safely in Ca Mau

A baby boy weighing 5.8 kg was just born safely at Tran Van Thoi General Hospital (Ca Mau), becoming a rare case of large fetus in the locality in recent years.

On July 21, a source from Tran Van Thoi General Hospital ( Ca Mau ) said that the medical team of the hospital's Obstetrics and Gynecology Department had just successfully performed a caesarean section for the pregnant woman HTTM (residing in Hamlet 9, Khanh Binh Commune, Ca Mau). The newborn boy weighed 5.8 kg and cried loudly right after birth.

Directly participating in the surgery, Dr. Du Kim Ngan, Deputy Head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, said that the pregnant woman was admitted to the hospital when she was 39 weeks and 4 days pregnant, past her due date.

Through examination, the doctors determined that this was a case of a large fetus with a high risk of complications if delivered naturally, so they recommended a proactive cesarean section to ensure the safety of mother and baby.

This is Ms. M's third child. According to the hospital, the two previous births both weighed more than 3 kg, but there were no signs of exceeding the weight threshold like this time.

"With large fetuses weighing over 4.5 kg, especially nearly 6 kg like this case, the risk of obstetric complications is always present, especially when the mother has given birth many times. Proactive and timely cesarean section is the key factor to help ensure an absolutely safe birth," Dr. Ngan added.

The medical team at Tran Van Thoi General Hospital was delighted after the successful caesarean section, welcoming the safe birth of a 5.8 kg baby boy.
