Twin Miracle at 30 Weeks: Mother With Severe Pre-Eclampsia & 1.15 kg Preterm Twins Graduate Healthy From Level-III NICU
01 Patient Presentation & Clinical Challenge
Expecting twins after five years of marriage, 29-year-old Mrs. Farzana Yasmin arrived with severe headache, visual blurring, and dangerously elevated blood pressure of 190/120 mmHg at just 30 weeks of gestation. Doppler fetal assessment indicated acute umbilical flow compromise, placing both mother and premature twins in immediate peril.
02 Multidisciplinary Hospital Intervention
Prof. Dr. Shirin Akhter (Professor & Head, Obstetrics & Gynaecology) and DCIMCH’s 24/7 Women’s Care team initiated urgent magnesium sulfate seizure prophylaxis, intravenous antihypertensive control, and emergency Cesarean delivery with two neonatal resuscitation teams standing by inside the theatre.
- Twin A (
1.15 kg) and Twin B (1.24 kg) were stabilized immediately at birth and transferred in pre-warmed transport incubators to DCIMCH’s 10-Bed Level-III NICU. - Non-invasive CPAP respiratory support, surfactant therapy, strict aseptic sepsis prevention, phototherapy, and Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) guided steady daily weight gain.
- Meanwhile, maternal blood pressure and renal parameters normalized smoothly under joint Obstetric-Medicine supervision.
03 Recovery Outcome & Follow-Up
After 24 days of dedicated neonatal nursing and parental KMC training, both twins crossed 1.75 kg on full oral feeding with normal cranial ultrasound and hearing screens, going home together to a joyful family celebration.
“Having senior female professors and a full NICU right beside the labor room saved both my babies and me. The NICU nurses treated our tiny twins like their own children.”
