Marian Regional Medical Center Birthing Center Welcomes Two Sets of Triplets to Local Parents

In total, five girls and one boy are being cared for in the hospital

SANTA MARIA, CA – May 12, 2022 – The Birthing Center at Marian Regional Medical Center recently welcomed two sets of triplets to proud local parents. All six babies were born healthy and admitted to Marian’s Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for special care. 

The first triplets – three girls - were born to Marian OB Unit Clerk Cristal Cabrera, who was grateful for the care she received from her work family. Rose Marie, Camila Rose, and Vickie Isabella were the third, fourth, and fifth children for Cabrera, who has three-year-old Juan and 13-year-old Catalina at home. 

“I was shocked when I found out I was having three babies, and I feel so blessed” says Cristal. “It feels amazing to be their mom, and the level of care I have received was above and beyond what I expected. I am so eager to introduce the girls to my children, and they are equally excited to meet the triplets.”

Shortly after their birth, Santa Maria residents Estrella Flores and Luis Delamora were preparing for the birth of their three new babies – two girls and a boy. Already parents to four-year-old Dalary, the couple was also initially shocked to learn they would be having triplets; Camila, Diana, and Sebastian.

“I couldn’t believe it when they told me I was having three babies,” says new mom Estrella. “Now that they are here and doing well, I feel super excited to introduce them to my daughter, their big sister!”

Now a father of four, Luis was at work when his wife called him during her ultrasound to share that she was carrying not one, but three babies. “I was shocked and thought she was kidding,” says Luis. “After I was able to compose myself and safely get down from the very tall ladder that I was on, I was excited to experience something not many get to.”

Moms and babies are all healthy and enjoying time with their new bundles of joy, who are all expected to be released from the hospital in the coming days.
