Three cousins born just hours apart at the Royal United Hospitals Bath
In February, cousins Frankie, Connie and Maddox were all born within the space of a single day at the Royal United Hospitals (RUH) Bath NHS Foundation Trust.
The rare coincidence took place on Friday 6 February when Georgie from Bridgeyate, South Gloucestershire, gave birth to identical twin girls Frankie and Connie and her brother Billy and his partner Kiera welcomed their son Maddox shortly after.
Georgie said: “It still feels surreal that we all became parents on the very same day. We joked about it happening and then it actually did!
“It was a very emotional day for us all, one our family will never forget. It was so special seeing the cousins all together and being able to pop down the hall and see one another on the ward.
“The staff at the RUH have been amazing. They kept us calm, reassured and supported throughout, and we can’t thank them enough for the care we all received.”
Baby Maddox arrived right on his due date, while twins Frankie and Connie made their appearance a little early. With identical twins occurring in just 1 in 250 births and only 4–5% of babies born on their due date, the family’s triple arrival makes for a truly extraordinary coincidence.
Georgie added: “We can’t wait for all the joint birthday parties in the years to come!”
