Twins who were pregnant at the same time give birth at same hospital days apart

Twin sisters who fell pregnant at the same time both had their babies just three days apart in the same hospital. Laura Jopson, 35, found out she was pregnant a few weeks before her sister Claire - and neither knew the other was trying to have a child.

But they were delighted to experience pregnancy together and even though there were due to give birth five weeks apart, their births were within days. Laura's son Henry was born on February 12, 2021, and while she was still recovering at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, Buckinghamshire, Claire had baby Olive on February 15.

Henry was born weighing 7lb 13oz, while Olive was 7lb 7oz.
