A couple in Belgium welcomed their second child of the year, marking the 100th baby born at RZ Tienen hospital. The milestone, celebrated on Friday, March 13, 2026, is particularly noteworthy as the same parents were the first to reach the 100-baby mark at the hospital in 2024.
Dorien Sterkendries, 34, and Sander Pinte, 35, from Waasmont near Landen, are the parents of June, born in 2020, and now their newest arrival. The couple reportedly “laughed about it” when they realized they were again having the 100th baby of the year, according to Nieuwsblad.
The repeated occurrence of this milestone highlights a unique and joyful coincidence for the hospital and the family. Dorien and Sander first became parents at RZ Tienen in 2020, and have now repeated the experience, becoming a familiar face in the maternity ward. Nieuwsblad first reported the story.
This event underscores the continued importance of local hospitals in providing care and celebrating new life within the community. Further details about the baby, such as gender or weight, have not been released.
