Identical twins give birth on same day

Bloomington Hospital in Indiana was the scene of a double delivery this week. Two women who have lived very similar lives, now have a very similar story to tell the next generation of their family. Growing up identical twins, Jessica and Jennifer Patterson were used to sharing more than just a face. "We shared everything," Jennifer said of the relationship she's had with her twin sister.

The two even shared an apartment for the past three years. "We moved out when we was 18 and we've been with each other ever since," Jennifer explained. The 21-year-old twins have had their differences, though. "My right eye's bad and her left eye is bad. I'm left handed, she's right handed," Jennifer said.



For the past nine months, though, these twins have shared the most important experience of their lives so far - being pregnant. "It just happened. It just happened," they both explained. Jessica found out first. "I was, like, 'I'm pregnant'," Jessica remembered.

"I found out a week later," Jennifer added. That wasn't even the most incredible part of the story. These sisters went into labour and delivered their bundles of joy on the same day. "They even look alike," Jessica said of her son, Mason Douglas, and new niece, Adalynn Rose, Jennifer's daughter. Even though they've shared so much, having babies on the same day wasn't part of the plan.
