Twins give birth to their first babies on the same day

Twin sisters Katie Bowden and Amy Meredith-Davies have done everything together their whole lives but never imagined that they would give birth same day, just hours before their 30th birthday

"We’ve done everything in our lives at similar times,” said Amy, a health, social care and wellbeing facilitator who lives in Neath. "Our family are used to it. We got married within a year of each other too. Katie got married in June 2012 and I was married in August 2013.I just can’t get over the fact that we fell pregnant at the same time."

The twins welcomed their children on June 10th. See more photos after the cut...

"It was bizarre because I was in labour and had a message from my mother saying Amy was being induced,” said Katie. “But still I thought that would be the next day. It was really funny because when my mum came to visit she would tell the midwife that she now had to leave to see my twin who was also having a baby. Everyone thought it was amazing.”
