Oh, Baby, Baby: Woman Gives Birth Twice in One Week
Filed under: In The News, Twins, Triplets, Multiples
Usually, twins are born mere minutes -- or even seconds -- apart. In the case of one Ohio woman, however, her babies were delivered an entire week apart.
In what is called a delayed interval delivery, Jennifer Franz went into labor and gave birth to her daughter, Grace, who weighed 1 pound, 13 ounces, at 28 weeks, "The Early Show" reports. Instead of delivering the other baby, the doctors told Franz they were going to try to see how long they could delay his birth. Seven days later, Franz went into labor again and gave birth to Noah, who weighed 2 pounds, 15 ounces.
Franz says both babies are doing well. As for Mom, next month she deserves a helluva Mother's Day gift.

Mary said...When I was growing up a couple who lived near me had twins that were born 2 weeks apart. I don't know if I ever heard how much they weighed. That was when the doctor came to your house and delivered the babies.

vlynnieg said...One of the OB's I work with is very good at salvaging preterm twin situations. I've seen one miscarried, too late to stop, and the other delivered a few months later completely healthy. I've also seen one born several weeks before the other and both survive and healthy. It is not easy to accomplish, but every week, day, hour, and second we can give these babies makes a HUGE difference in their outcomes.

PBear said...Dear Ancient:
Our daughter was born with a doctor present, at home, in 1982. We are not ancient by any means. There are still doctors who will come and assist in home births.
Good luck to the parents and both little angels. God Bless.

Your ANCIENT
You are obviously very young. Do you not know about the home births that are being done at this time? Please, what ever you do, don't reproduce as the wrold does not need anymore with your lack of mental ability. Perhaps in about 20 years you may even mature a little bit to be allowed to mix in polite society. Good luck on that.

Angela said...OBSESSION,we all start from birth and work our way through life,unless you know something we dont?. There are many Doctors that make house calls these days. Heres one that will boggle the mind,but its a true story. A woman had a set of twins in the 90s,each twin had a differant Dad. Figure that one out,but it did happen.

Joy said...Back in the "olden days", a friend of mine delivered a 6 lb 8 oz full term healthy baby boy. Within minutes she also delivered a a premature boy who weighed in at 3 lbs 1 0z. The doctor claimed these babies were NOT twins, but conceived at two different times.
The labor with the first boy stimulated lavor with the second boy , thus they were born minutes apart.. As the years went by, they struggled with explaining that they were NOT twins, but born of the same monther one th same day. They are both very healthy teens now.
