Salta Hospital Delivers Extremely Rare Monocorial Triplets, Mother and Newborns Stable

The hospital says the three girls delivered by scheduled cesarean at 34 weeks are stable in Neonatology after an exceptionally rare monocorial triamniotic pregnancy.

Overview

  • The newborns, named Ainara, Amira and Ámbar, weighed 1,640 g, 1,560 g and 1,780 g, respectively, and remain under specialized neonatal care.
  • Doctors classified the pregnancy as monocorial triamniotic, meaning one shared placenta and three separate amniotic sacs, a condition described by clinicians as occurring about once in a million.
  • The cesarean was planned at 34 weeks due to the high‑risk nature of shared‑placenta triplets, and the mother, Nancy, is recovering under medical supervision.
  • Neonatology chief Adrián Aguilar reported the infants are stable, with no oxygen or pressure support required for their lungs, following close multidisciplinary management.
  • Hospital and local reports note this is the second trigemelas case recorded in Salta in 2025, alongside dozens of twin births this year, and the family has opened a fundraising channel under the alias NPACHADO.
