St Vincent's Private Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, is one of the city's busiest maternity hospitals. Back in April of 2008, the hospital celebrated an incredible record-breaking event. The hospital is used to twins, but never before had it played host to so many at once. Doctors and nurses were shocked when eight sets of twins were born within a span of just a few weeks. The 12 boys and four girls kept the staff extremely busy, but the nurses were eager to rise to the occasion and push themselves into overdrive.
The hospital attributed the baby boom to a combination of factors, including the mothers' older ages, IVF, and genetics. Since they were mostly first-time mothers, they formed a special bond and comradery while staying at the hospital with their newborns. This awesome "mothers club" created a support network to help prepare them for their hectic lives. The hospital went so far as to host afternoon tea sessions, where the moms would swap mommy-hood tips and share their baby products.
