Identical Twin Sisters Were Born On Different Days

Miracles happen. At least the parents of two identical twins Robyn and Scarlett Atherton think so after their precious children were born on different days, Bolten, England, UK.
The difference between today and tomorrow is literally a matter of seconds. Plenty of babies are delivered in the middle of the night. So babies that are born close to midnight may arrive on different days.

That is exactly what happened to two twin sisters who were born on November 9 and 10. Robyn came first at 11.55pm on the Sunday and Scarlett followed at 12.13am on the Monday.

The mother of two wonderful baby girls Deborah said: “I never actually thought it would happen. The closer it got to midnight, the more I joked they could have different birthdays.”

Deborah Atherton said she and her husband, Stuart, will let the girls decide when they are older if they want to celebrate their birthdays separately

There are already three sets of twins in Deborah’s family – but none of them are identical. She has sisters, an aunt and uncle and cousins who are all twins.

The girls who will share many experiences in their life but for the same birthday, will be allowed to decide (when they are older) whether they want to share a birthday or have their own celebrations on separate days.
