Three children have already been born at the Anna Hospital in Geldrop, but there will probably be more. The hospital let us know. “Deliveries are still underway,” is the message on Christmas Day. The fact that the hospital is prepared for Christmas children is evident from the special romper worn by the firstborn in the photo below. It says ‘First Christmas child’.
