A challenging task for the medical staff at Botoşani Maternity Hospital, where a preterm baby measuring 720 grams was delivered on Sunday. After barely 24 weeks of pregnancy, the son was delivered.
The infant, who was delivered on Sunday and weighed just 720 grams, was considered to be very preterm.
At 24 weeks gestation, the newborn boy was born with a hand the size of an adult finger.
After stabilizing it, the infant was sent to a different maternity facility with a greater level of care.
720 grams is the weight of a preterm newborn.
The child was transported by an ambulance, and was then placed in the care of neonatologists.
According to specialists, it happens frequently that pregnant women wait until after giving birth to visit the doctor, which considerably increases the risk of difficult deliveries or early births.
The lightest newborn delivered at this hospital weighed 580 grams.
The youngster who weighted him the most, on the other hand, was born in July 2008 and was slightly over 6 kilos.
