Statistics show that 5,422 parents who lost their children in the Wenchuan earthquake intend to give birth again. By the end of April, 3,140 mothers had become pregnant, from which 2,160 babies had been born, according to the local family planning commission.
More than 8,000 families suffered the loss or disability of their children in the disaster. Since most of the women are now at advanced maternal ages and facing unstable pregnancies, the central government has launched a 100-million-yuan project to offer free assistance.
Local government has offered psychological and re-impregnation counseling, as well as medical treatment for infertility or related illnesses.
