Twin luck in Rostock: Mona Emma and Noah Malte see the light!

What a jump in joy in Rostock! On July 8, the twins saw Mona Emma and Noah painted the light of day at the university women's clinic at the Südstadt Clinic. Mama Nicole J., the 30-year-old doctor, and Papa Tom J., 35 years old and from the IT industry, are overjoyed over her double lucky charm. Mona Emma was born at 9:42 a.m., with a size of 46 cm and a weight of 2700 grams. Her brother Noah Malte followed only a minute later at 9:43 a.m. with 42 cm and 1920 grams. Due to its lower weight, Noah is currently being monitored in the premature nation station. The family's joy could not be greater, because their birth marks the 1001st delivery in the clinic this year, which increases the celebrations even further. Nordkurier reported that the clinic had a total of 1027 births, including 1055 children-519 girls and 536 boys. A remarkable record for the first half of the year!

What does the overall situation look like? The university women's clinic has recorded a constant increase in birth rate in recent years. In 2024, for example, 2045 births and 2114 born children were registered. The twin births are also climbing. In 2024 there were already 28 twin births, and compared to the previous year the 1000th birth only fell on July 3. This shows that the clinic is a popular place for families in Rostock.

annual balance of births

A look at the numbers on the one hand makes it optimistic: In 2016, 3,256 children were born in the university women's clinic. This represents a small increase compared to previous years. Here, too, multiple births have contributed considerably; In 2015, about 79 twin couples and three times triplets were born, while in 2016 there were 85 twin couples and four times were born. Rathaus Rostock points out that statistically more girls were born as boys: 2016 there were 1,631 girls.

But what do these figures tell us about the Rostock location and the general development in Germany? According to destatis.de there are many factors that influence the birth rate, such as economic and social framework conditions. In Germany, the merged birth number (TFR) is around 1.4 children per woman. A value that has changed slightly in recent years, but still causes discussions. However, the clinics in Rostock seem to be on the right track, with a stable offer for expectant parents.

The twin births in the Südstadt clinic are not only a welcome change in everyday birthday, but also a sign of the blossoming of the birth offer in the region. With a possible increase in the birth rate, we can be excited to see what other joyful news the university women's clinic will report to us in the coming months. Mona Emma and Noah Malte are definitely a promising start!
