In the first hours of the new year 2026, Hung Vuong Hospital welcomed two babies crying to welcome life, opening a year full of hope and joy.
The first case is a handsome baby boy, weighing 3,190g, born by cesarean section. The pregnant woman is Ms. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao (38 years old, residing in Hoc Mon district, Ho Chi Minh City). This is her second childbirth. The baby was born in the anticipation and happiness of the family and the team of doctors and nurses on duty on New Year's Eve.
Next, a baby girl weighing 3,160g was born by natural birth. The pregnant woman is Ms. Nguyen Thi Lua (35 years old, residing in Ho Chi Minh City), also the second birth. The birth took place smoothly, mother and child were safe in the joy of the new year.
The moment two babies cried in the transition from the old year to the new year not only brought happiness to the family but also was a special milestone for the hospital's medical staff during the early spring shift.
Representatives of the on-duty team at Hung Vuong Hospital shared that the first moments of the new year are always of special significance, not only for each family but also for the team of doctors and nurses on duty throughout Tet. According to Vietnamese beliefs, "the beginning is smooth, the end is smooth", therefore, new births at the beginning of the year are considered a favorable starting signal. That is also the belief and expectation for a peaceful new year, with more healthy babies born, growing up and contributing to building the future of the country.
