win brother Jeromme and Jarelle beat 150,000-1 odds to become dads on the same day at the same hospital by the same midwife after their partners gave birth on Monday November 24th. And they both had baby boys.
According to UK Mirror, the twins were initially shocked when told their partners had the same due date of Nov. 26, but neither believed they would both be celebrating on that date. But remarkably, the pair became fathers within a few hours of each other when their sons were born at New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton in the early hours of Monday.
Jeromme's partner Tegan Compton, 19, was first to give birth
when 8lb 7oz Cameron arrived into the world at 2.04am on Monday morning.
Jarrell's girlfriend Francesca Ashe, 19, then followed suit when
she delivered 7lb 11oz Cassen two-and-a-half hours later at 4.34am.
Jeromme, who works in a sports shop, said: "We knew
that our partners were both given the same due date, but we just never expected
the births to be really on the same day.
"Tegan and me came in first and little Cameron was born
just a few hours later. Then the pool was washed and cleaned, and we handed
over to Jarrell and Francesca."
Jarrell, who works for a catering firm, added: "We got
here at about two in the morning and we could hear someone's voice and I said,
'that's Tegan'.
"Mum was with me so when Tegan gave birth she went over
to see her grandson and then a couple of hours later she had another one. It is
absolutely amazing that we became fathers of sons on the same day. It is great
for everyone and everyone at the hospital was great."
Midwife Barbara Kapoor, who delivered both babies, said:
"I have never ever heard of this happening before. It is amazing."
Alex Donohue, from Ladbrokes bookmakers, added: "This
is so rare. The odds of it happening are at least 150,000 - 1."
