I had a twin aunt and uncle who where born a day apart. One born on the 12th and the other on the 13th. Just been wondering how often that would have happened:confused: probably wasnt that unusual really:rolleyes: Anyone else come across it in their families?

I imagine its fairly common if its a natural birth not a casaerian. A woman goes into labour in the late evening, there is usually a space between the first one born and the second, one is born one side of midnight and the other the other side of midnight. Probably not as common now as many twins are born by caesarian.
