It is known that the pregnant woman Moong Thi Th. is a Khmu ethnic, a teacher at Nam Nhoong Primary - Secondary School, Nam Nhoong Commune (Que Phong). She is pregnant for the first time with twins and the pregnancy is stable. On the due date, she experienced abdominal pain and was taken to the hospital to give birth. During labor, her water broke, so she was consulted and transferred for emergency surgery.
The surgery was successful, the two healthy baby girls Phan Kim Ng. weighing 2.7 kg and Phan Kim Ng. weighing 2.1 kg are currently being monitored and cared for at the Reproductive Health Care Department of Que Phong District Medical Center.
It is known that the number of babies born in an intact sac is not much because normally, the amniotic sac will rupture under the effect of uterine contractions during the mother's labor or rupture when impacted by a scalpel. According to medical documents, in 80,000 births there is only one such case.
