A California mother gave birth to twins who were born just minutes apart in 2021 and 2022, People magazine reported.
Fatima Madrigal and Robert Trujillo's babies were born at Natividad Medical Center in Salinas, California, the outlet reported. The couple's daughter was born 15 minutes after their son.
"Natividad welcomed Aylin Yolanda Trujillo as the area's first baby of 2022!" the hospital tweeted on Saturday. "Her twin, Alfredo Antonio Trujillo, was born 15 minutes earlier at 11:45 pm Friday, Dec. 31, meaning their birthday falls on a different day, month and year — a 1 in 2 million chance!"
"It's crazy to me that they are twins and have different birthdays," Madrigal said in a press release obtained by People. "I was surprised and happy that she arrived at midnight."
A doctor who works at the hospital, Ana Abril Arias, called it "one of the most memorable deliveries" of her career, the outlet reported.
Similarly, in a separate rare occurrence, an Indiana woman's twins were born in different months and decades after being born just 30 minutes apart, WRTV reported.
The report said one baby was born on December 31, 2019, and the other was welcomed into the world on January 1, 2020.
