The nurse explains to the “new father” the things to keep in mind when raising the child. Original title: Careless! These people born in the 2000s are already parents; the whole family of three is only 33 years old! “\"Go outside, but don’t let the wind blow on them; of course, don’t cover them too tightly either, and be especially careful not to cover the child’s mouth and nose,\" said the nurse from the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital, who couldn’t help but give further detailed instructions as the child’s father awkwardly took the child in his arms. Holding his 4-jin daughter, the still-young father, who had just become a parent, had excitement in his eyes as he immediately called his child’s mother to let her know that everything was fine. 4 days ago, these post-2000s couple became parents amid the loud cries of their baby. A rebellious middle school student \"escaped\" to live in another place. 16-year-old Xiaomin (a pseudonym) kept walking back and forth outside the neonatal intensive care unit, waiting for her child to be released. “What does it feel like to become a father at such a young age? ”A family member of the patient joked about this, and Xiao Min replied shyly, “It’s okay; I just gave birth a bit earlier than others.” “By a lot; at least 10 years earlier! ”Xiaomin’s face turned red again. Half a year ago, Xiao Min and Xiao Qin (a pseudonym) were still in a small town in their hometown in the northwest. By chance, the two met and developed a mutual liking for each other. Over time, they fell in love, and later on, they engaged in physical intimacy. Both sets of parents strongly oppose their children from not studying hard at such a young age and getting into relationships. Neither earnest persuasion nor threats and scolding worked; instead, it only fueled the rebellious attitude of the young couple, who thought, \"We can’t deal with them, so we’ll just avoid them.\" In April this year, the young couple left without saying goodbye and went to work in the suburbs of Hangzhou, Zhejiang. “Xiao Qin kept experiencing nausea for some time; at first she thought it was a stomach issue, but after doing some research online, she realized that it was most likely due to pregnancy. ”Xiaomin said, “From now on, let Xiaoqin stay at home, but I didn’t think about the need for prenatal check-ups.” ”Xiao Qin was taken to the county hospital due to abdominal pain. The doctors found it tricky since Xiao Qin had never undergone any prenatal check-ups, and they were even more surprised to learn that both of them were only 16 years old. “\"Bleeding disorders can occur during childbirth…\" Xiao Min recalled that she was terrified when she heard the doctor’s words, fearing that she might never see Xiao Qin or the baby again. After her daughter was born, she was premature and weighed only 4 pounds, so her condition was not good. The local doctor advised taking her to a large hospital in the provincial capital as soon as possible, so Xiaomin hurriedly took a taxi to take her daughter to Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital. “Within just a few days, my daughter’s condition improved, but the treatment costs at the large hospital were too high, so I asked to be discharged. ”Xiaomin, with a youthful appearance, carried the child as she left the ward and entered the elevator. When those around them learned what had happened, they began to discuss it and exclaim, “24 years old and still considered young?” Wait a little longer? Look, someone who’s 8 years younger than you has already become a mother! ”“People born in the 2000s have already become parents – how can we people born in the 1980s handle this? We’re old! ”“When it came to raising children, Xiaomin’s smile disappeared; she said vaguely that she had to work hard to earn money in order to support them. As for getting married, they can only wait until they are old enough and then go through the formalities. After coming to Zhejiang, Xiaomin worked as a loader at a courier company; later she also took on extra work at night, earning over 4,000 yuan per month in total. The rent is 250, and after covering other various expenses for two people, they still have nearly 2,000 left each month. Seeing the money in their account gradually increase, the two of them were in high spirits, looking forward to a better life in the future. The dream of becoming parents came to an end when Xiao Qin gave birth; her daughter was taken to a large hospital, and in just a few days their entire savings were exhausted. The doctor said that the daughter was born prematurely, so she is weaker than typical full-term babies and is more likely to get sick. When you get sick, you have to spend money again – where does that money come from? “Xiaoqin needs someone to take care of her during the postpartum recovery period after she’s discharged from the hospital. I don’t know how to handle this, and besides, I still have to go to work; otherwise, the whole family of three will have no means of making a living. It’s really worrying. ”Xiaomin’s mood changed from sunny to cloudy in an instant. “The young father examined his daughter, who had been born just a few days earlier, with mixed feelings; after much deliberation, he was unable to find a solution. In the end, the couple decided to return to their hometown. “The two lords are aware that we have a child and intend to go back. Anyway, it’s already done; at the worst I’ll get a good scolding, what else can happen! At least Xiaoqin and the child have someone to take care of them. ”Will you still come to Zhejiang to work? Xiaomin looked confused and hesitated, saying, “Earning more money in Zhejiang than back home is possible, but it would mean being separated from my family; let’s decide on that later!” ”Getting into the car, Xiao Min went to join Xiao Qin, who was still at the county hospital, with the child in her arms. “The child is considered to be 1 year old; the entire family of three together is only 33 years old. Tsk tsk – having a ‘child’ take care of another child, how will they manage to live like this? ”Everyone watched Xiao Min walk away, shaking their heads and sighing. Pregnancy at an early age comes with many risks. “It’s actually quite dangerous for a 16-year-old to get pregnant.” ”Yang Liwei, the head of the obstetrics department at Zhejiang Provincial People’s Hospital, told a reporter from Qianjiang Daily that since the 16-year-old girl is still in the stage of development, her reproductive organs are not yet fully mature. “Medically speaking, a woman’s optimal childbearing age is between 23 and 30 years old. Having children at an early age means that the mother’s bones have not yet fully calcified, and part of the calcium in her body must be drawn away to supply the fetus; as a result, neither the mother nor the baby can grow healthily. ”Furthermore, adolescent girls who give birth at an early age are prone to various complications during pregnancy, such as high blood pressure, heart disease, and rheumatic fever. Additionally, since their reproductive organs, as well as the muscles of the pelvis and pelvic floor, are not fully developed, they are more susceptible to obstetric complications such as lacerations of the soft birth canal, postpartum hemorrhage, and placental abruption during delivery.
