Triplets in Vienna: Sensational birth in St. Josef Hospital!

An impressive miracle of nature occurred in 2020 in St. Josef Hospital in Vienna-Hietzing: triplets were born there for the first time. A girl and two boys were born via cesarean section in the 32nd week of pregnancy, which is a medical sensation. Normally a pregnancy lasts around 40 weeks, but with triplets it is common practice to have them earlier because they often do not receive enough nutrients, according to Dr. Andreas Brandstetter from the hospital explains. Despite the early birth, the triplets together weigh almost five kilograms and both the babies and mother are doing well, but require some support such as incubators and tube feeding to stabilize.

Family with triplets celebrates great success

While the doctors in Vienna set a medical record, another family is particularly enthusiastic. Bettina and Muhamed from Vienna are happy about their triplets Levian, Emilian and Damian, who were born four years ago. According to their mother, these little fighters were born prematurely in the 7th week of pregnancy and had to spend three months in the hospital. Thanks to the support of “Today” Christkind and Novomatic, the four siblings are now receiving new beds for better sleep. “We are very grateful for the 500 euros that will help us renovate the entire children's room,” said Bettina happily, as space in her home is slowly becoming scarce. Her eldest son Adrian also celebrated his fifth birthday on the same day.

These two stories from Vienna not only brighten people's hearts, but also show the diversity of life - from medical challenges to family happiness. In a world where the chance of having triplets is 1 in 3,840, the happiness of these families stands out even more. This excitement, both in the hospital and at home, speaks of the will to live, hope and joy in every challenge.
