Identical Triplets Born in Chubut as Mother and Babies Remain Stable

Officials report a stable course in neonatal care following a meticulously planned high‑risk delivery.

Overview

  • The delivery occurred on December 25 at Hospital María Humphreys in Trelew during a monochorionic triamniotic pregnancy, yielding three genetically identical girls.
  • The newborns arrived at 8:49 (1.460 kg), 9:50 (1.760 kg) and 9:52 (1.690 kg), then entered the hospital’s Neonatology Service for monitoring and nutritional support.
  • Provincial health authorities say the mother and all three infants remain stable under continuous care with observation ongoing rather than discharge.
  • Officials credited coordinated work by obstetrics, neonatology and nursing teams, citing preparedness and new high‑complexity resources at the recently inaugurated hospital.
  • The event was described as exceptionally rare—locally estimated at about one in 100 million pregnancies—and is the second documented case in Chubut, following a 2019 instance in Comodoro Rivadavia.
