If there is something precise about the probable dates of childbirth, it is that in the end who has the last word is the baby, it is he who decides when to be born. As we know, under normal conditions, it is best to wait for the delivery to be triggered naturally and for each baby to choose the right time to be born.
Sometimes, that gives us curious anecdotes, such as twins and twins who are born in different years because of being born during the change of the year. But also, there have been cases in which extraordinary or unusual things happen, such as the curious case of the German twins who were born 3 months apart and in different years.
Sounds amazing but it's true: two twins from Cologne, Germany, were born 97 days apart and in different years. The little ones, called Liana and Leonie, have become news because of how particular their birth was, although it is not the first time that such a case is known.
In Babies and more Two twins are born 24 days apartThrough a publication on the Facebook page of the hospital where they were born, they say that it all started when her mother went into labor prematurely during the 26th week of pregnancy, on November 17, 2018, resulting in the birth of Liana, who weighed only 900 grams.
But after she was born, the contractions stopped and the mother's cervix closed again, allowing Leonie to continue inside her mother's womb for three more months, finally being born on February 22, 2019.
According to RT information, doctor Uwe Schellenberger explained to local media that this was possible because there were two placentas, so there was no major problem in which Leonie could continue to develop in her mother's belly.
Liana naturally had to spend time in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, but the hospital reports that both girls are healthy and their parents are very happy to be able to have both already at home with them.
