Triplets In Auckland
Home from Australia only three weeks, Mrs Linda Kingston, aged 19, gave birth to triplet girls, a month prematurely, in National Women’s Hospital in Auckland on Tuesday. Mother and babies were in a satisfactory condition today. Mr Kingston, a motor firm employee, said that the babies —who weighed 41b 3oz, 41b 9oz, and 31b 15oz at birth—would be named Nicole Irene, Leanne Rose, and Michelle Anne.
His wife had been pregnant before they went to live in Australia. Doctors there had said she would have twins. When they found a month ago that there would be triplets they decided to return to New Zealand.
They are the twenty-first set of triplets to be born at the National Women’s Hospital. Multiple births to date at the hospital include 1214 sets of twins, 21 sets of triplets, two sets of quadruplets, and the Lawson quintuplets.
