2016 Christmas babies

Meet Pom’s newest Christmas additions!

Loop PNG caught up with antenatal nurse, MaryAnne Amuel, at the labour ward to check on the count for Christmas babies.

As of 6am this morning, five babies were delivered at the Port Moresby General Hospital labour ward.

Nurse Amuel says all five mothers had a smooth delivery and that all the babies were seen to be very healthy.

In an interview with Christina Gesla from Daru and Rigo, who gave birth to a baby boy named after his father, Luke, she says she went into labour on Christmas Eve but didn’t think she would give birth by 12 this morning.
