A 32-year-old woman with an unremarkable medical history and three years of infertility was diagnosed with bilateral endometrioma and peritoneal endometriosis. The couple was offered Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART).

First IVF Cycle: Eight oocytes were retrieved, but the embryo transfer resulted in a miscarriage at four weeks.

Second IVF Cycle (six months later): Eight oocytes were retrieved and fertilized, yielding three embryos. Two blastocysts were transferred. At six weeks, transvaginal ultrasound revealed two gestational sacs, each containing two embryos, confirming a quadruplet pregnancy.

The couple was counseled about maternal and fetal risks and offered fetal reduction, which they declined. First-trimester ultrasounds showed normal fetal anatomy. At 16 weeks, cervical cerclage was performed to prevent preterm delivery, and vaginal progesterone was prescribed at 24 weeks.

Due to limitations in complete fetal anatomical assessment via ultrasound, fetal MRI at 26 weeks was performed. The imaging data were used to construct three-dimensional virtual and physical models of the fetuses.

At 32 weeks, the mother developed uterine contractions and dyspnea, prompting cesarean delivery. Four male neonates were delivered with normal Apgar scores at one and five minutes. Two neonates were discharged at 34 days and the remaining two at 36 days post-delivery.

The 2025 Cochrane review on immediate and early skin-to-skin contact after birth highlights that further randomized controlled trials comparing skin-to-skin contact with ‘usual care’ are no longer ethical.

The findings show there is now enough evidence to make immediate skin-to-skin contact after birth the global standard of care, and as WHO already recommends skin-to-skin the standard of care, the authors argue that randomizing the separation of mother and newborn may no longer be justifiable.

"I didn't teach my membranes how to rupture, or my uterus how to contract, or my oxytocin how to rise. No doctor commanded my relaxin to peak, or my cervix to dilate, or my sacral promontory to shift anterior-inferior, or my pelvis to translate laterally.

No one taught my baby how to extend her thorax when
her spinal galant reflex was activated as my birth canal
squeezed her right.

No intellectual handed her a
roadmap to guide her occiput-anterior as she crowned.

She didn't practice her cry before she breathed her
first breath. She took no course on how to feed.

Yet here we are.

Our bodies did the dance.

Together.

A design so intricate
Each step a puzzle piece
The intelligence innate
not once did it cease.

Let go of the shore
Your body, it knows.
Each waves of contraction
Brings her closer to home."

🥈The second most LIKED post of 2024: "A baby won't remember who held them, but a new mother/parent will certainly remember who was there for them in the trenches of postpartum.

Hold the mom—clean the home, make dinner, play with the older kids, walk the dogs, take her out of the house (if she wants), and literally hold her.

To help you make empowered, informed, and confident decisions during pregnancy and birth, please dance on over to ❤️MotherboardBirth.com❤️"
