“Meant to be”: Twins give birth just 22 minutes apart
Just days after sharing their 33rd birthday, twin sisters Nicole and Renee Baillie have given birth on the same day.
The women, from Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, were shocked when they fell pregnant around the same time, with their due dates just two weeks apart.
“We magically fell pregnant at the same time, which was crazy,” Nicole told 7News.
Nicole was already at the hospital ready to give birth to her baby when Renee went into labour early.
Renee rushed to the hospital just in time to give birth in the hospital foyer, welcoming a baby girl named Ruby.
“I was just about to have a bath when I heard someone had a baby in the corridor,” Nicole said.
“I couldn’t believe it,” Renee said.
“When I got here, into this room after we had (the baby), I wasn’t sure how far along Nicole was. I didn’t want her (Nicole) to know I’d already had my baby, just in case it, like, threw her off.”
Renee soon found out Nicole had given birth to a baby boy, named Zavian, only 22 minutes earlier.
“I thought I had a few days left, but they decided they wanted to be born on the same day,” Renee said.
“It was just meant to be, and I think everyone has just manifested this happening,” Nicole said.
