3 Sisters Give Birth On The Same Day , At The Same Hospital

Three Irish sisters gave birth on the same day at the same
hospital and oh of course, it was such an unlikely coincidence.
The beautiful thing about it is that their their fourth sister was
expected to give birth sometime soon after her 3 sisters!
Mairead Fitzpatrick and her sisters Joeline Godfrey and Bernie
Ward all gave birth at Mayo General Hospital in Castlebar on
Tuesday.
While the siblings were given close due dates, they never
expected their babies to share the same birthday.

“We never thought it would all happen on the one day,” says
Fitzpatrick, who gave birth to her son first at 3:25 a.m. The new
mom named him Thomás Óg.
At 11 a.m, Joeline welcomed her daughter, Sorcha, via C-section,
and finally around 8:30 p.m., Bernie gave birth to her son
Phelim.
“The two girls that delivered my little boy delivered Bernie’s boy
as well,” Fitzpatrick said. “So two women delivered two cousins
in 24 hours.””
The hospital staff was just as surprised by the remarkable
coincidence as the sisters were.
“We’re all talking about it… the fact that we have four
sisters in and it’s never happened, as far as we know
anyway, going back some time,” said maternity
manager Mary Salmon.
Christina Murray, the fourth sister, is now waiting for her little
one to arrive. Her due date was on August 30.
“It was just so funny the way it happened really,” Fitzpatrick
said. “It was my first, Joeline’s second and Bernie’s third and it’ll
be Christina’s fourth.”
