Viel zu frühe Geburt: Unsere Drillinge wiegen nur 800 Gramm | Drei Handvoll Leben (1/2) | WDR Doku

Here's the link to Part 2: https://1.ard.de/Drei-Handvoll-Leben-... When Tanja and Johannes see their children for the first time, they are shocked: Elouise, Francis, and Luis weigh less than 1,000 grams. The triplets are in the neonatal intensive care unit at Darmstadt Hospital. They were born in the 25th week of pregnancy, almost four months premature, via emergency C-section. Tiny babies, now connected to tubes, ventilated, and constantly monitored. A team of nine doctors and nurses fights around the clock for their lives. For the first few days, the parents can only touch their children through flaps in the incubators. For weeks, they spend many hours each day at the hospital. More than once, the children's lives hang by a thread – but step by step, the triplets fight their way back to life. This two-part documentary follows premature babies and their parents through the highs and lows of their time in the hospital and the first months at home – a period that is both emotionally and physically demanding. 👍 If you enjoyed this video, give us a like! ______ 🎥 A film for people up close by Claudia Ruby.
