When these two sisters became pregnant, they knew they were going to share a special experience. Although they were a little nervous, they were also thrilled with the idea and couldn’t wait to hold their babies in their arms. But when the day finally arrived, a surprising discovery awaited them. Here’s what happened.
Lauren and Lily are two lovely sisters aged 20 and 17. The girls live in Merseyside, England. The fact that they grew up together as children already forms a special bond. But Lauren and Lily got to experience something that few sisters get to share. They were both pregnant at the same time as the older of the two.
Lauren was the first to tell her parents about her pregnancy. Her father, Philip remembers the moment well. Lauren was sitting on the couch crying when she told me and I said, Why are you crying? These things happen. But while he had been supportive of Lauren, Lily, who was much younger, tried to keep it a secret for a few months, but he knew something was up.
Talking about the big news about his two daughters, he said, I put on makeup for her and a couple of months later I found out about our Lily, but she didn’t want to tell me. She explained. I went to her room and said, do you have something to tell me? And she said, yes and that was it. I came out of the bedroom and she told me.
A couple of weeks later, the sisters were due to be induced. Twelve days apart, Lauren went into labor on 23rd March when she was induced. Her father was at the hospital with her, but returned home early, leaving her with her mother, Karen, and sister Lily. It looked like everything was going to be fine, so Philip thought he’d better get home. So he grabbed his bike and rode his way back.
But what he didn’t know was that there was a big surprise waiting for him at home. Lily had been at the hospital with her sister but had left to join her friends. He said, I was at home and she arrived in a taxi and went up to the bathroom and her water broke. It was a shock because they were going to induce labor. The following Friday, we had to ask the neighbor to take her to the hospital because my car is declared out of service.
It was a crazy night. Lilly’s baby was so excited to meet his cousin that he decided to come a little early. Lily was rushed to the hospital and mum Karen, who was already in the hospital with Lauren, was then split between her two daughters. Father Philip said, My son and I had to wait at home because the women’s hospital doesn’t let many people into the maternity ward. So we waited for a call from my mother and went upstairs.
Lauren was in the birthing pool, but she wasn’t in pain, so I went to Lily and held her hand. Lily was the first to hold her baby in her arms and gave birth to Eden in 1219, while Lauren had a baby Sophia in 1731. The plan was for Lauren and Lily to stay at the family home until they were settled again, which meant that Philip now had to sleep on the sofa. I’m waiting until I can finally get my bed back, he said. I’ve been on the sofa, but it’s fine.
I’m enjoying it. Lauren will be moving into her place soon, and I’ll be moving in with her for a while to help her out. Can you imagine sharing such a beautiful experience with your siblings? How special. And despite not being able to sleep in his bed, it seems Philip was ecstatic, too, according to the Washington Post.
I’m thrilled. I am. I’ve been looking forward to being a grandfather for a long time. I’m grinning like a big Cheshire Cat, he said.

They were all born within three years of each other, and two of them are identical twins.
