Two identical twins from the US gave birth to their babies on the same day and at the same time, though in different time zones.

Sarah Mariuz and Leah Rodgers, 35, both delivered their firstborn at 1:18 a.m. on Thursday, June 30, with Leah’s son, Reid Joseph, born first in Denver, Colorado, at their local time. An hour later, Sarah gave birth to her daughter, Samantha Lynne, in La Jolla, California, at 1:18 Pacific time.

According to reports from TODAY and People, the twins repeatedly denied rumors that they intentionally planned to deliver at the same time. Sarah told People, “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.”

“We’ve always lived in separate places, but all of us—we have two sisters—are very close in age and very close,” Leah told TODAY. “But certainly, there’s another connection at the twin level.”

The sisters learned they were pregnant last year during their Thanksgiving celebration. They also found out that their due dates were only four days apart.

Upon giving birth, Sarah didn’t announce the surprising news and allowed her twin sister, older by 11 minutes, to tell her the news first.

“I wanted Leah to have her moment of sharing her news, rather than me just saying, ‘Me too!'” Sarah said.

Likewise, the twins also discovered that their child’s genders are colossal coincidences, given that Leah , who grew up as a “tomboy,” had a son while Sarah, the chic and girlier twin, delivered a daughter.  Gianna Francesca Catolico
