A rare situation occurred at the Institute of the Mother and Child Health Center in Łódź. In just a few days, five pairs of twins were born at the hospital. So far this year, 3,600 babies have been born at the facility, including 120 sets of twins and two sets of triplets. "We can proudly say that this year there will be more births in the institute than last year," emphasized the regional consultant for gynecology and obstetrics.
TVN24 reporter Katarzyna Pasikowska-Poczopko described the rare situation at the Łódź hospital. "It's a situation that can't be prepared for in advance, as you can't plan the birth of five pairs of twins in such a short time," she reported.
She added that the doctors at the Institute of the Mother and Child Health Center in Łódź are well-prepared for such situations.
More births than last year
Professor Mariusz Grzesiak, the regional consultant for gynecology and obstetrics, emphasized that this year is different from last year in terms of births at the Institute.
"About 120 pairs of twins have already been born at the Institute of the Mother and Child Health Center, and two triplet pregnancies have also been completed this year ... We can proudly say that this year there will be more births than last year, which I think is a great success for all the staff, doctors, nurses, midwives, and everyone involved," he said.
So far this year, 3,600 children have been born at the Łódź hospital, and the number continues to grow.
"A Christmas miracle"
TVN24 reporter spoke with the Marciniak family, who welcomed twin boys into the world on Friday, December 13. "The babies are currently in the neonatal care unit under the supervision of midwives. We visit Wojtuś and Piotruś constantly," said the mother.
The parents were unaware that other twins were being born at the same time. "I hadn't heard of anything like this, but maybe it was because I was focused on making sure my wife had everything she needed," said the father of the twins.
Asked if this could be considered a "Christmas miracle" that so many pairs of twins had been born in recent days, the couple responded: "Definitely."
The parents, who already have a 2.5-year-old son, shared that their little boy is already waiting at home for his new brothers. "It will definitely be a challenge for us, but also a lot of happiness and joy. It will certainly require much better organization, but over time, we'll learn how to function in this new reality," the parents of the twins concluded.
