A Case of Triplet Pregnancy

a male, was born at 5 a.m. on the 30th August, 1934. The delivery of both the_ children was quite normal* the presentation being occipito-anterior. The placenta, which was single, was delivered fifteen minutes after the third child. All the children were quite healthy. The first female child weighed six pounds and the second and third males weighed six and a half pounds each. In the accompanying photograph, the female child is lying on the ground whereas the two male children are in the mother's lap. The mother left the hospital quite well on the fourth day after her delivery. This case is of interest because it is unusual f?r triplets to be served by asingle placenta, and the size of the children was also exceptionally large.
