Identical Triplet Girls Discharged From Böblingen Hospital After High-Risk Birth

Doctors describe the spontaneous pregnancy as a one-in-100-million rarity.

Overview

  • The three monozygotic girls were delivered preterm by cesarean section in August after a complication, hospital officials said.
  • One newborn suffered a brain hemorrhage shortly after birth and required prolonged intensive care but is reported to be doing very well.
  • Physicians identified fetofetal transfusion syndrome during the pregnancy, prompting intensive monitoring and coordinated specialist care.
  • After hospitalization from August to November, the 29-year-old mother left the perinatal center with her babies, the clinic confirmed.
  • The case comes as the region notes another identical triplet birth in nearby Winnenden this summer, which the hospital network deems statistically striking.
