A unique incident... the birth of twins in two different years!

Just 15 minutes apart but in two different years, two twin babies were born on New Year's Eve between 2021 and 2022, in California, USA.

One of the twins was born minutes before midnight at the end of 2021, and the other at midnight on New Year's Eve 2022.

The mother gave birth to her baby Alfredo Antonio at 11:45 pm, and 15 minutes later Alfredo's sister, Eileen, was born in the middle of the night at the beginning of 2022.

"It's crazy to me that they are twins and have different birthdays," the mum said in a press release.

Dr. Anna April Arias, family physician at the hospital, described it as "one of the most memorable births of my professional life".
