Remarkable! Identical Twins Welcome Babies Same Day, Same Time

35-year-old identical twin sisters Sarah Mariuz and Leah Rodgers, welcomed their firstborns into the world at the same time, and on the same day.

Over the years, the two sisters have shared everything in common, ranging from clothes to toys , but never did they know they would give birth on the same day and at the exact same time.

According to People, the two amazing women both welcomed their bundles of joy on June 30 at 1:18 a.m. in their respective cities.

While Rodgers gave birth to Reid Joseph in Denver, Colorado, one hour before her sister’s baby, Samantha Lynne, was born in La Jolla, California.

Mariuz says: “It’s that magical twin connection I suppose. There have just been certain things in our life where things just match up – it’s odd.”

She adds: “We didn’t plan being pregnant at the same time. But our journeys aligned, even giving birth! Twins have a special bond, it’s hard to explain.”

The identical twins revealed the news of their pregnancy at a Thanksgiving family get-together.

Rodgers says: “I wanted it to be a surprise, but when she showed up at the door – it was the funniest thing – I opened the door, welcomed her into the home, but as soon as I saw her, I knew she was pregnant too.

”I can’t explain it, I just knew. My prediction was that she was five days behind me, and it turned out her due date was four days after me.”

Rodgers says her family started a group text thread when the two women went into labor around the same time.

“When my sister’s husband got the text about Reed being born at 1:18 a.m. he apparently shouted at the doctors, he couldn’t believe it!” Rodgers says with a laugh. “It was literally the exact same time.”

“It’s just really special,” says Mariuz.

The newborns haven’t met yet, but the sisters can’t wait to bring their kids together.

“I’m sure they will have a deep bond because of their birthday timing,” says Mariuz.
