The first IVF in Chinese mainland has become a mother! The IVF mother was born 31 years ago. This *** is in Xinhuanet.
In 1988, when the medical conditions were not very perfect, an IVF full of modern technology was born in Beijing.
The whole world was shocked by the news, because the world's first test-tube baby was born in 1978, but only ten years later, our country mastered this technology.
This IVF technology is considered too advanced, so many people are skeptical about it, and even think that she will not live to be 40 years old.
So, how did Zheng Mengmei, the first IVF baby in my country, live later?
The first baby born through IVF is born.
30 years ago, Zheng Guizhen and his wife from Yanguan Town, Lixian County, Gansu Province, had been married for more than ten or twenty years, but they still had no children.
It's not that they don't actually want it, it's that they can't get it.
In the first two years of their marriage, they were not in a hurry to have children, however, when they decided to have children, they encountered the problem of not being able to conceive.
Mr. and Mrs. Zheng tried a variety of home remedies and took a lot of traditional Chinese medicine, but the results were always unsatisfactory.
They have unconsciously changed from young people in their twenties to middle-aged people, and time flies like a white horse.
Zheng Guizhen, who is nearly forty years old, has never been able to get pregnant, and the couple are very anxious about the discussion and pointing of the neighbors.
At the suggestion of other villagers, they then went to the hospital for examination.
Eventually, during this check-up, they also finally found the reason why they had been unable to have children for years.
It was difficult for Jung Gye-jin to get pregnant because both of her fallopian tubes were blocked.
Due to the limited medical conditions at the time, the doctor had to prescribe some medicine to them and let them take it back and give it a try.
However, half a year has passed, but Zheng Guizhen's stomach still has not changed at all.
The couple was very disappointed by this.
Until one day, while listening to the radio, Zheng Guizhen heard the news about the IVF research in Beijing.
Although I didn't know much about the term "IVF" at the time.
As soon as she heard the word "child", Zheng Guizhen's hope for life seemed to be ignited in an instant.
After discussion, they decided to go to Beijing, hoping to have a child of their own.
They soon moved from their hometown in Gansu to Beijing, where they met Professor Zhang Lizhu at the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University.
Lizhu specializes in endocrinology, pathology and anatomy.
She went to the United States to further her research projects and was invited to the United Kingdom to do clinical work in obstetrics and gynecology.
Therefore, she has a wealth of learning and clinical experience in the field of obstetrics and gynecology.
Although Zhang Lizhu knows that living abroad is relatively advantageous, she also realizes that her motherland needs more people to participate in construction.
She came back from abroad in the early 50s.
She initially chose to work in Shanghai, but moved to Beijing soon after.
She was appointed Director of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing Medical College.
Ms. Zhang later discovered that many of the patients who came to her consultation were about infertility.
To date, however, no satisfactory solution has been found.
In order to solve this problem, Zhang Lizhu decided to lead the team to work together.
Zhang Lizhu and other researchers have been researching in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer since 1984.
At that time, the medical conditions were very backward, many medical equipment were lacking, and even the most critical egg retrieval needles were only a few.
Not only that, but it was an important stage of family planning.
As a result, many have questioned their team.
Zhang's team is under double pressure.
However, they have never stopped researching this technology that will benefit humanity.
Due to the lack of research tools and medical utensils, they have to constantly sterilize and reuse their instruments.
They noticed that the needle had become dull, so they took it to a watch shop and had it sharpened by a repairman, then sterilized and continued to use it.
They ignore the voices of the outside world, after all, the issue of fertility is a challenge that all of humanity must overcome.
She was then contacted by the couple, Zheng Guizhen, and the team decided to take a risk.
Mr. and Mrs. Zheng knew that their research technology was the last hope, and no matter what, she decided to give it a try.
Please inform Professor Zhang Lizhu that she will bear all the consequences on her own.
Zheng Guizhen and his wife are so determined to have a child that Zhang Lizhu finally made the decision to help them.
Zhang Lizhu discussed with them in advance, no matter what the result is, don't be too disappointed.
Mr. and Mrs. Zheng Guizhen said that they decided that they must give it a try, after all, how do they know if it is feasible without trying? Giving up on experimentation can mean losing hope.
Subsequently, Zhang Lizhu developed a plan to solve Zheng Guizhen's situation.
In this scenario, there is a plan that seems very outrageous, that is, "open abdomen egg retrieval".
At that time, the medical conditions were not as convenient as they are today, so many ** solutions could only use the most basic methods. That's just the way it is.
In order to retrieve the eggs, abdominal surgery is performed and part of the follicular fluid is extracted, from which the eggs are found.
The operation went smoothly and the follicles were successfully harvested using an oviposition needle with the assistance of a microscope.
At that time, there was a lack of professional fresh-keeping equipment, so food had to be put into sterilized thermos cups in order to keep warm.
In the laboratory, they prepare the culture liquid point by point according to the recipe, sterilize and disinfect it, and use it.
Everything went very smoothly and fertilization was quickly completed outside the body.
Their team will then face the challenge of how to successfully implant the fertilized egg into the body.
Zhang Lizhu quickly found a plastic pipe made of a special material, which was exactly the tool she needed.
After a series of disinfection and sterilization measures, the fertilized egg was successfully implanted into Zheng Guizhen's uterus.
Zhang Lizhu's team can finally breathe a sigh of relief because they have done everything well.
However, we still can't let our guard down, because we still can't be sure whether the outcome will be a success or a failure.
Zhang Lizhu's team was tormented in the waiting time for the rest of the year, worried that bad news might come.
Seven weeks passed like this.
The heartbeat of the fetus in Zheng Guizhen's womb has become powerful and firm.
It also means that they are one step closer to success.
For some time to come, researchers from Zhang's team will come daily to observe Zheng Guizhen's condition.
They are all looking forward to the birth of this child.
Zheng Guizhen ushered in the birth of a baby girl on March 10, 1988 under the delivery of Zhang Lizhu's team.
The entire operating room was moved to tears because of the baby's cry.
China ushered in the birth of the first test-tube baby, which marked the safe birth of the child.
Subsequently, the medical staff performed a detailed examination and measurement of the child.
The child's physical indicators are within the normal range.
Mr. and Mrs. Zheng were equally happy because they had finally welcomed their child.
The moment I saw my child, I felt that all the hardships I had endured over the years became meaningful.
The baby and Professor Zhang Lizhu also left that unforgettable group photo.
Professor Zhang Lizhu looked at the baby with love, and her heart was full of joy, which she could feel without words.
In order to thank Professor Zhang Lizhu for helping them realize their mother's dream, Zheng Guizhen and his wife named their child Zheng Mengzhu.
The word "zhu" is taken from the last word of Professor Zhang Lizhu's name, while "meng" represents the sprout of new life.
All the medical staff love this little life very much.
It wasn't until she was two months old that Zheng Guizhen took her home.
Although she has returned to her hometown in Gansu, the researchers in Zhang Lizhu's team are still keeping an eye on Zheng Mengzhu's growth.
Zhu Meng Zheng. Because of her special status, Zheng Mengzhu grew up under the attention of many people.
Despite this, Jung Meng-joo is not proud of this, but keeps a normal mind like everyone else and goes to and from school normally.
Her academic performance is also very good, perhaps because of the influence of medical professionals for a long time.
She entered the Third Hospital of Beijing Medical University and became a medical case management staff, which was her choice after graduating from university.
In addition to her job, she often travels to comfort patients who are feeling anxious because they can't get pregnant.
She often cites herself as an example, and many patients are comforted by her to relax their minds, which makes pregnancy easier.
Jung Meng Joo is enthusiastic about helping others, and her kindness also makes her experience her own love at work.
She falls in love like an ordinary person, and never deliberately stands out because of the particularity of her identity.
They then entered the palace of marriage.
Zheng Mengzhu became pregnant with her own child shortly after getting married.
On April 5, 2019, 31-year-old Zheng Mengzhu gave birth to a boy, and the baby was also given the identity of the second generation of IVF.
However, the arrival of this baby was not an easy one.
During pregnancy, Zheng Mengzhu had to undergo cesarean section due to abnormal fetal position.
A boy was eventually born, measuring 52 centimeters long and weighing 3,850 grams.
Zheng Mengzhu's mother looked at the child left behind by her daughter, and her eyes involuntarily flushed.
Unexpectedly, time flies so quickly, and now my daughter has her own children.
Zheng Guizhen couldn't put down her grandson, and she and her son-in-law hugged her grandson to their daughter's hospital bed, their eyes full of love.
Zheng Mengzhu looked at the little life in front of her and felt very amazing, she turned out to be the mother of this little guy.
After becoming pregnant and giving birth to a child, Zheng Mengzhu has a deeper understanding of her mother.
Pregnancy and childbirth were natural and difficult experiences for her, not to mention the fact that her mother had to undergo two caesarean sections to give birth to her.
Zheng Mengzhu looked at the child in front of her, and her heart couldn't help but feel grateful to Professor Zhang Lizhu for giving her life.
She immediately picked up her mobile phone and browsed the ** where Zhang Lizhu was holding the baby, and she felt strongly that she missed Zhang Lizhu.
When she was a little girl, she began to call Zhang Lizhu her grandmother.
Ms. Zheng said that although she grew up in Gansu, she has always been in contact with Ms. Zhang in Beijing.
Zhang Lizhu cares about her very much, including her studies and health, and sends blessings every year on her birthday.
Every year, she will send a copy of her ** to Professor Zhang Lizhu.
Zheng Mengzhu looked at her child again, and she expressed her wish: as long as the child grows up healthy and happy, everything else is not important.
All in all. At one time, everyone thought that the first baby Zheng Mengzhu would have a hard time, but now the situation is completely reversed.
Zheng Mengzhu's life is very happy, and she, like other peers, enjoys life to the fullest.
Family life is warm and happy, and good health.
February** Dynamic Incentive Program
Nowadays, IVF technology is very mature, bringing new hope to many infertile families.
What Professor Zhang Lizhu has done has really benefited the people of our country! Hats off to her!
