Normally the gap between two twins being born will be in seconds or sometimes in minutes.
Do you believe that there was a difference in days and even in months..
Interesting right..!!
Maria, mother of these adorable twins, went into labor four months Prior to the date, giving birth to Amy first
and Katie who has amazingly arrived nearly three months later.
Now their incredible birth has a page in Guinness book of World Record as the 'longest interval between the birth of twins'.
Here , see the cute twins Amy and Katie born 87 days apart.
It has happened after the mother's contraction stopped.
Maria faced a grueling two-day labor before given birth to her first baby Amy at exactly 24 weeks – almost four months before her due date of September 21.
Born at just 1lb 3oz she was dangerously small. Amy Elliott was born on June 1, 2012.
But after she was born, her mother Maria's contractions suddenly stopped and doctors decided it was safer for her sister Katie to stay in the womb
Katie was born on August 27 weighing 5lb 10oz after Maria was induced. Doctors made the decisioto try to induce Maria the following day.There on, there was nothing she could do but wait.
Maria then spent every day visiting Amy in intensive care while praying Katie would survive in her womb.
It should have been a joyful time but it was horrific. She had one baby in intensive care and one baby still inside clinging to life.
These Irish twins are now set to become a Guinness World Record.
Maria, 34, of Glenmore, Co Kilkenny, said:
"I call the girls our little miracles because they are.
As I held Amy for the first time I stroked my bump and prayed to God for a miracle.
I just wanted my girls to be together and safe and well.
Usually you experience nothing but joy at the birth of a new baby, but it was so achingly bittersweet as both of their lives hung in the balance.
Amy was fighting for life in an incubator and Katie was struggling to survive in my womb.
It was the hardest three months of our lives. But my husband Chris kept saying: "Where there's life there's hope". "
Box Fact: Experts say that in medical terms, with only around a 40 per cent chance of survival forboth twins, the Elliott twins 'story is the 'equivalent of a lottery win'.
Consultant Obstetrician Dr. Eddie O’Donnell at Waterford Regional Hospital who was in charge of the delivery team said: 'I never expected to see anything like this in my career.'
