Exceptionally Rare Identical Triplets Born in Trelew as Mother and Babies Remain Stable

Provincial officials credit careful planning for the preterm monocorial triamniotic delivery managed at the newly opened María Humphreys Hospital.

Overview

  • Born on December 25 at Hospital María Humphreys in Trelew, the three girls arrived at 8:49, 9:50 and 9:52 with weights of 1.46 kg, 1.76 kg and 1.69 kg.
  • Health authorities report the newborns are in the hospital’s Neonatology Service for monitoring and nutritional recovery, and the mother and infants are stable.
  • Clinicians classified the pregnancy as monocorial triamniotic, indicating one placenta with separate amniotic sacs and genetically identical siblings.
  • Governor Ignacio Torres lauded the coordinated obstetrics, neonatology and nursing teams and pointed to the public system’s readiness for high‑complexity cases.
  • The event is described as exceptionally rare, with estimates ranging from about one in 100 million to 200 million births, and joins a short list of Argentine precedents including a 2019 case in Chubut.
