Triplets, Mother Recover Well After High-Risk Emergency Delivery in Gadchiroli A high-risk triplet pregnancy was successfully managed at Lloyds Kali Ammal Memorial Hospital (LKAMH) in Hedri, Gadchiroli district, where three premature babies—two girls and a boy—were delivered via emergency Caesarean section on August 21. The mother and newborns, who are under neonatal care, are reported to be in stable condition. The 32-year-old mother from Manger village had been under regular antenatal care at LKAMH since March after an ultrasound confirmed a triplet pregnancy. She was admitted on August 11 following complaints of mild abdominal and lower-back pain. Doctors closely monitored her condition with frequent ultrasound scans and fetal heart-rate checks due to the risks associated with multiple pregnancies. On August 21, signs of fetal distress prompted an emergency decision to perform the Caesarean section. The procedure, conducted by a multidisciplinary team including two obstetricians, two anaesthesiologists, and two paediatricians, resulted in the delivery of the three babies within three minutes. The first girl weighed 1.360 kg, the second girl 1.186 kg, and the boy 1.530 kg. All infants were immediately transferred to the hospital’s special newborn care unit for observation. The mother, who was also clinically stable post-surgery, had received medications to support the babies’ lung development and had blood reserves prepared for potential emergency surgery. Doctors noted concerning changes in the babies’ blood circulation and heart rates, leading to the urgent intervention. The case underscores the critical role of antenatal care and continuous monitoring in managing high-risk pregnancies, particularly in remote regions where access to specialized maternal and newborn healthcare is limited.#b_prabhakaran #lkamh #hedri #manger
