Or are you the sort who believes in fate and a higher power at work? Whatever it is, a lot of cosmic forces were at work when twin sisters actually delivered their babies on the same day! What are the odds of twin sisters discovering they were pregnant on the same day too? This is indeed a true-to-life tale of Erica and Tashina Ackley who just turned 22.

Grandma’s delight
Can you imagine the excitement of the grandma in this situation? As reported, Tashina, who broke the thrilling news to her mother said: “I waited a few hours. Then I asked my mother if she would like to have a baby in each arm again, like she did with us. She had no idea what I meant until I told her I was pregnant, too.”
We guess grandma will be re-living her days of double trouble with double the fun!

Twin coincidences: Third set of twins for mum!
While on the topic of coincidences and twins. A mummy in Scotland gave birth to twin girls after having two sets of twin boys who are now 12 and 14 respectively! None of her twins are identical. It is after all a medical fact that if you have had a history of fraternal twins, you’re likely to have twins yet again. Age is another factor in getting twins, the older you are, the higher the chances.
Karen Rodgers, 41, beat the odds of 500,00 to 1. She said upon discovering she was pregnant with twins for the third time: “It never crossed my mind that it would be twins again but I’m absolutely delighted.”

More kids in the household
It’s already a full house with four boys, and the large gap between the kids. How will Karen cope with this? According to the interview on Daily Mail, she shared: “It is daunting but because the boys are a bit older, it makes it a bit easier. They understand more and I’m going to need a lot of help from them.”
Dad, Colin Rodger, 44 said: “I think the girls are going to have five dads with the boys looking out for them too, and it will be a frightening gauntlet for any boyfriend to run.”
