For Juan Velasco and his wife Margarita Robles of Tampa Bay, the new year brought a pleasant surprise as one of their sons was born on December 31, 2009 and the other on January 1, 2010.
When Dr. Cathy Lynch of Tampa General Hospital helped deliver the first of two babies delivered by emergency C-section, the clock was 1 minute to midnight. She then asked the parents if they would like different birthdays for their children and they exclaimed “Of course!”.
Thanks to a difference of 30 seconds, Stefano became the last child born in 2009, and Marcello the first child born in 2010. The proud father was supportive of the idea, saying, “It’s going to be great since they’ll have separate birthday parties.”

Both children were born in the same pool of water, in the same room, and the same obstetrician helped them to be born.

Their combined weight of 8.22 kilograms makes them the heaviest twins ever born naturally in the UK (the average twin baby weighs around 2.26 kilograms). Their impressive appetite meant that their mother had to spend six hours a day feeding them.
A spokesman for the Guinness Book of Records confirmed that: “Thomas and Grace are the heaviest twins born naturally in the UK in its history, so they are record holders.”

8 The woman who gave birth to two non-twin babies on the same day
After three years of unsuccessful attempts to conceive, Todd and Julia Grovenburg (Todd & Julia Grovenburg) seriously considered the option of adopting a child from another country in order to fulfill their dream of a full family. However, in the course of a last and desperate attempt to have a child, one happy Sunday in July 2009, Julia’s pregnancy test finally came back positive.
However, because Julia, 33, and Todd, 34, tried so desperately to have a baby, she became pregnant twice within a few weeks and shocked the world with the startling news of her pregnancy.
Since she happened to be one of 11 women in the world who became pregnant while already pregnant, her pregnancy was eventually determined to be a superfetation. This means that the children were conceived at different times, were born on the same day, but are not medically twins. According to the rhythm of their heartbeats and the visual image obtained during the ultrasound, the difference in the conception of children was approximately two and a half weeks.
