Samoa welcomes the first baby of the new decade
Apia, SAMOA — A baby girl born at 12.30am at Tupua Tamasese Meaole Hospital weighing 7lbs 8ozs is Samoa’s first baby of the new decade.
Born to Angela and Faletoa Moli from Falefa, the little princess is her parent’s third daughter and possibly the first baby born this decade if Christmas Island does not record a baby before her time of birth.
It has been a busy night for the maternity ward with the on duty nurses and midwives delivering four babies in the first three hours.
“Our first baby was delivered at 0030 hours by RM Tiara Tuulua. Second baby was a boy delivered just 20 minutes later at 0050 hours by RM Unaisi Sikivou;
“Then we had a 3rd baby, a healthy baby girl delivered at 0205 hrs by RM Seuila Ale and I have just delivered our 4th baby for 2020, another little girl at 0251 hrs,” Samoa Global News quoted Nurse Tuulua.
