A Surrey couple have given birth to quadruplets at St Peter’s Hospital.
Melisa Patino gave birth to three girls and one boy following a planned c-section. She became the first mother to give birth to quadruplets at the Surrey hospital in 25 years.
The babies were born on Wednesday, July 11. Melisa and dad Jon Belsey were over the moon, they named their new-born’s soon after birth.
The girls were called Evie, Maddison and Cassidy, the boy is called Logan.
Dr Sian McDonnel, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, who was lead clinician for the birth said: "To be involved in the delivery and antenatal care of the quadruplets was an incredible privilege.
“It was the first, and probably the only time, that many people in the delivery room will be involved in such a case - and one that I will remember for the rest of my career.
“With at least nine of the neonatal team in theatre with us for delivery, it really showed how our teams work well together. We all wish the Patino/Belsey family the very best for the future."
