The baby weighing only 720 grams, born on Sunday, was classified as extremely premature.

The transport was done by an ambulance, the little boy being thus taken into the care of neonatologists.
According to specialist doctors, there are many cases in which pregnant women come to the doctor only when they give birth, so the risk of troubled births or premature babies increases greatly.
The youngest baby born at this maternity weighed 580 grams.
At the other extreme, the child who weighed him the most was born in July 2008 and weighed just over 6 kilograms.
The doctors at Botoşani Maternity Hospital faced a challenging task on Sunday when a premature baby boy weighing only 720 grams was born after just 24 weeks of pregnancy. This tiny baby was classified as extremely premature, with one hand being no thicker than an adult’s finger.
Despite his fragile state, the baby was first stabilized at the hospital before being transferred to a higher-ranking unit for further care. The transport was carefully done by ambulance, ensuring the baby’s safety on his journey to the neonatologists who would be looking after him.
It’s unfortunate that many pregnant women only seek medical help when they go into labor, increasing the risk of troubled births and premature babies. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of regular prenatal care and early detection of any potential issues that could arise during pregnancy.
This baby boy isn’t the first miracle to happen at Botoşani Maternity Hospital. The youngest baby ever born at the hospital weighed only 580 grams, showing just how dedicated the medical staff are to saving even the tiniest of lives. On the other end of the spectrum, the heaviest baby born at the hospital weighed just over 6 kilograms in July 2008.
The birth of such a small baby is a testament to the incredible work that doctors and nurses do every day to save lives. It’s a reminder of the fragility of life and the resilience of the human spirit. We can only hope that this little boy will continue to defy the odds and grow stronger with each passing day.
