Twins become dads on the same day, at the same hospital

Twin brother Jeromme and Jarelle beat 150,000-1
odds to become dads on the same day at the same
hospital by the same midwife after their partners
gave birth on Monday November 24th. And they both
had baby boys.


According to UK Mirror, the twins were initially
shocked when told their partners had the same due
date of Nov. 26, but neither believed they would both
be celebrating on that date. But remarkably, the pair
became fathers within a few hours of each other
when their sons were born at New Cross Hospital in
Wolverhampton in the early hours of Monday.


Incredibly, both babies were born in the same
water pool in the same room and were delivered
by the same midwife.


Jeromme's partner Tegan Compton, 19, was first
to give birth when 8lb 7oz Cameron arrived into
the world at 2.04am on Monday morning.
Jarrell's girlfriend Francesca Ashe, 19, then
followed suit when she delivered 7lb 11oz Cassen
two-and-a-half hours later at 4.34am.


Jeromme, who works in a sports shop, said: "We
knew that our partners were both given the same
due date, but we just never expected the births to
be really on the same day.


"Tegan and me came in first and little Cameron
was born just a few hours later. Then the pool was
washed and cleaned, and we handed over to
Jarrell and Francesca."


Jarrell, who works for a catering firm, added: "We
got here at about two in the morning and we
could hear someone's voice and I said, 'that's
Tegan'.


"Mum was with me so when Tegan gave birth she
went over to see her grandson and then a couple
of hours later she had another one. It is absolutely
amazing that we became fathers of sons on the
same day. It is great for everyone and everyone at
the hospital was great."


Midwife Barbara Kapoor, who delivered both
babies, said: "I have never ever heard of this
happening before. It is amazing."


Alex Donohue, from Ladbrokes bookmakers,
added: "This is so rare. The odds of it happening
are at least 150,000 - 1."
