Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust

Oh baby! There was a special delivery of not one, not two - but THREE baby girls at our brand new hospital the Midland Met today, when identical TRIPLETS arrived into the world. Tiny Luna, Theia and Nephele were born at the ultra-modern Smethwick hospital just a day after the maternity department moved from City Hospital in Birmingham. Parents Tessa and Patrick, who live locally, were delighted with their new arrivals, which were delivered by C-section by a team of paediatricians, midwives, neonatal nurses and theatre staff. Each baby, weighing 4lb 1oz, 4lb and 3lb 3oz, was assigned their own healthcare professional to care for them as they entered the world at 9.50am, 9.51am and the third two minutes later.
