Identical Twin Sisters in Different Cities Give Birth at Exact Same Time

The miracle of birth was upped a notch when two identical twin sisters gave birth to their babies at exactly the same time.

On 30 June, Sarah Mariuz gave birth to a baby boy in Denver, Colorado, then Leah Rodgers had her daughter in La Jolla, California. Both were born at 1.18am, albeit on two different time zones.

The sisters told Today  that they are thrilled by the coincidence, but not that surprised.

 “We’ve always lived in separate places, but all of us — we have two sisters — are very close in age and very close,” Ms Rodgers, who is 11 minutes older than her sister, said.

“But certainly there’s another connection at the twin level.”

They both learnt they were pregnant last year around the same time and planned to tell each other on Thanksgiving, which they were spending together.
