Meet 3 Sisters Who Gave Birth On The Same Day
What are the chances of three sisters giving birth on the same day with one more sister set to have hers as well….nil, well it happened and this three sisters share their remarkable story.
According to the Mirror; an overjoyed County Mayo grandmother has welcomed three tots into the family int he past 24 hours, reports the Irish Mirror. Mairead Fitzpatrick is one of three sisters – from Cloonfad, on the Mayo-Roscommon border – to have a baby at Castlebar General Hospital.
Mairead gave birth to baby Tomas Og yesterday alongside her sister Bernie, who welcomed Phelim and her other sister Jolene, who had a little girl named Sorcha.
She told the RTE News at One: “There’s four girls, there’s five of us altogether in the house, but there was four of us expecting and there’s one brother. I was due on Friday the 28th of August, Jolene was actually sectioned, she was booked in for a section yesterday, it was her second baby and Bernie was due today. Christina is still waiting for her little one, she was due on Sunday, the 30th of August.”
Mairead added that they are keeping their fingers crossed that Christina will give birth today, or early tomorrow morning. She said: “It was just so funny the way it happened. It was my first, and Jolene’s second, Bernie’s third, and Christina, this will be her fourth.”
Mairead said their younger brother who lives in England has headed back and is hoping that the four sisters will christen their babies on the one weekend to save him a bit of money on the plane fares and she added that she’s not sure which counties the four new tots will affiliate to ahead of May’s replay against Dublin on Saturday as their dads are from Mayo, Galway and Roscommon.
Mairead thanked the staff at Castlebar who looked after the sisters and said, We just never realised it would all happen on the one day. I was the first one to go at 3.25am and then my sister had her section and her little girl, Sorcha, was born at 11. Then Bernie’s boy Phelim was born last night at about half eight. The two girls that delivered my little boy delivered Bernie’s girl as well, they were on nights the night before, so two women delivered two cousins in 24 hours.”
