Identical twins gave birth two hours apart, despite different due dates
Identical twin sisters Rachel and Kim Saunders had due dates in the same month – but they ended up giving birth the same day, two hours apart.
These identical twins gave birth two hours apart – despite not being due on the same day.
First-time mums Rachel and Kim Saunders, who are best friends and do everything together, had hoped to raise their babies at the same time and were both due in July.
But amazingly, the sisters went into labour at the same time – giving birth to William “Trip” Saunders Soule on July 8 at 11.27pm and Crew Philip Crawford on July 9 at 1:28am, The Sun reports.
Their little lads, now 10 months, are already best friends but will have separate birthdays – as they were born overnight.
The twins, from Minnesota, USA, now have 286,000 followers on TikTok and 6.7 million likes – who are all fascinated by their story.
Some have asked if Rachel and Kim’s husbands are also twins – as they look similar – which would make their sons biologically brothers. They explained their husbands are not twins.
Rachel and Kim didn’t have a joint wedding.
But they did plan to get pregnant at the same time, revealing: “We knew we wanted kids at the same time and ended up getting pregnant the same month!”
In some videos, the twins have shown themselves dancing in the hospital in labour gowns and shown their babies “dancing”, with some help from mum.
One is captioned: “When your identical twin mamas give birth to you 2 hours apart”.
Rachel and Kim have also given an insight into their lives, showing themselves asleep exhausted while raising newborns.
And in one clip, they reveal the moment they broke the news to their joint best friend on FaceTime, who looks gobsmacked as they each held up a positive pregnancy test.
