La femme américaine Michelle Duggar (43 ans) a accouché hier de son 19ème enfant 3 mois à l'avance, une fille prématurée nommée Josie Brooklyn délivrée grâce à une césarienne d'urgence. La petite fille est si fragile qu'elle est maintenue en soins intensifs. A noter qu'en décembre 2008, Michelle a aussi accouché de son 18ème enfant avec une césarienne.
Michelle que l'on peut surnommer "la machine à bébés", a déjà prévenu : son 19ème enfant ne sera pas le dernier! La machine à bébés continuera à avoir des bébés aussi longtemps que la "machine" est en état de procréer!
Michelle Duggar Has Premature Girl in Emergency C Section
Michelle Duggar, star of the TLC reality show "18 Kids and Counting" has given birth to her 19th child in an emergency C-section.
New baby Josie Brooklyn, born Thursday evening, weighs 1 pound 6 ounces and is in stable condition at the neonatal intensive care unit at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, TLC reports.
TLC reports "Michelle is resting comfortably" while Josie Brooklyn stays at the neonatal intensive care unit, and that "the family is grateful for all the prayers and well wishes during their recovery."
Duggar's baby was not due until March, but TLC is reporting that Duggar went into the hospital early suffering pain from a gallstone. People magazine reported Monday that Duggar had been airlifted to a hospital in Little Rock because her gallbladder problems were causing contractions.
Only 6 percent of babies are born so early. Most preemies make it the 33rd week of pregnancy and while most premature babies are at risk for health problems, risk for complications increases the earlier a baby is born, according to the March of Dimes.
Their organs are less developed in babies before 32 weeks gestation, but advances in obstetrics and neonatology have improved the chances of survival for babies as small as Josie Brooklyn.
Josie Brooklyn was born at 25 weeks and, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in June, babies born at 25 weeks who receive aggressive treatment through intensive care have an 82 percent chance of survival.
For now, Duggar's husband, Jim Bob, and 18 children will have to get along without Michelle and Josie Brooklyn.
