Woman gives birth to two sets of twins on same birthday

A proud mother has become the first woman in Britain to give birth to two sets of naturally conceived twins who were born on the same day.

Kim Hefer, 29, was stunned when she gave birth to Devon and Logan on July 18 – the birthday of her four-year-old twin sons Tristan and Blake.

Kim and husband Freddie, 30, were expecting the babies on August 13 but were ‘gobsmacked’ when they arrived four weeks early.

The parents have been told it is the first time in Britain a pair of naturally conceived twin boys have shared a birthday with their twin brothers.

‘When I found out I was having yet another set of twins at my scan I couldn’t believe it, we were gobsmacked,’ said Kim, who is originally from South Africa but now lives in Little Paxton, Cambs.

Freddie, a financial manager for Deutsche bank, London, added: ‘When we were trying for a third child and told we were going to have twins again we thought that was quite something to get your head around. But to have them born on the same day we both just couldn’t believe it.’

Kim had originally been booked in for a caesarean section on July 23 but was taken into at Hinchingbrooke Hospital, Cambs, early when her blood pressure became high.

Doctors were concerned for her and the babies health so decided they should be delivered early.

Logan, was born at 11:50pm weighing 5lb 5oz, while Devon was born just a minute later at a weight of 6lb 30z.

Kim said she had hoped to have had the babies and be home in time for the elder twins birthdays, who had been born in South Africa – their parent’s native country – on July 18 four years earlier.

Instead, she now faces planning a joint birthday party for all four sons when the twins turn one and five next year.

‘People stop me in the street to look at the babies and then they notice my two older boys and they are amazed.Then when I tell them they were born on the same day they can never quite believe it – I think it is always going to be one of those great family stories.’

Please I want, will be ok with just one set....
