A family from Córdoba that arrived last Monday at the new Provincial Maternity Hospital gave birth to quadruplets, who are in good condition and remain hospitalized in therapy due to their low weight.
According to the director of the establishment, Luis Ahumada, it is a family that already had four daughters and now added four other members: three new girls and a boy.
The little ones born in the Maternity Hospital are Laura, who weighed 1,300 kilos, Angline (1,425), Victoria (1,370) and Jonás (1,675).

“The three girls shared a placenta and the boy had his own placenta and pouch. They were born at 30 weeks. “We wanted to get to 32 weeks, but we didn’t make it,” he told The twelve.
“In these cases, a cesarean section is always performed,” he specified and detailed that the births took place at 6 p.m. on Monday.
“The parents were expecting a boy, but three more girls showed up. This family will now be left with seven girls and one boy,” she added.
They are all in good condition, although they remain under observation due to their premature, spontaneous birth.
