Quadruples born in Erlangen - Rare event

Like many couples, Nilgün and Kayhan Turan from Pegnitz (Upper Franconia) wanted a child, it says.

However, the longed-for baby happiness did not materialize for more than ten years.

After fertility treatment in Northern Cyprus, the Turans' quadruplets were finally born on August 18, 2022 in the women's clinic of the University Hospital Erlangen.

The planned caesarean section went without complications, all four children and their mother are doing well according to the clinic.

A quadruplet birth is a real rarity - in Erlangen such an event only occurs about every 100 years, it is said.

Healthy quadruplets born in Erlangen: Two girls and two boys

The two identical girls Kiymet Neva and Amine Nermin and their brothers Mustafa Kayhan and Mahmut Gökhan were born in the 35th week of pregnancy.

"Fortunately, the children were born only five weeks early, which is rather unusual with quadruplets," says Prof. Dr.

Sven Kehl, senior physician in the women's clinic and coordinator of the University Perinatal Center in Franconia, who carried out the caesarean section together with his team, is quoted as saying.

“In addition, each of them had a birth weight of between 1,500 and 2,500 grams, and all four children had no problems breathing on their own right from the start.

We are very happy that everything went so well - that is not a matter of course, especially with multiple births."

Only every 100 years: birth of quadruplets in the Augsburg Clinic

A small Christmas miracle happened in a clinic in Regensburg in 2019.

There quadruplets were born.

They soon had visitors - in a pack of four.

"Four of a kind are really a small sensation" - the wish to have children comes true

After the birth, the babies stayed for a few more weeks in the neonatology ward of the children's and youth clinic at the University Hospital Erlangen for medical monitoring.

"Four of a kind are really a small sensation that probably only happens once in the professional career of a doctor," said Dr.

Patrick Morhart, senior physician at the children's clinic.

Nilgün Turan was cared for at the University Perinatal Center in Franconia even during her pregnancy.

"We always felt that we were in very good hands - both in the practice of our gynecologist in Pegnitz and in the women's clinic of the University Hospital Erlangen," said the Turan couple.

“We would like to thank the doctors, midwives and nursing staff at the Perinatal Center who were involved.

You all made sure that we were able to bring our four completely healthy children home after just under three weeks.”

“Everyday life with quadruplets will certainly be a big challenge, but also a very nice one.

My wife and I have now been rewarded four times over for the long wait for our own offspring.

I just hope I'm still learning to tell our kids apart," said father Kayhan Turan, laughing.
