The birth of twins is always a long-waited and interesting event. The heroes of our story made their birth even more unusual since due to the time they were born there is a whole year age gap between them!

And this is how it all went down. Acari gave birth to the strange twins (a suburb of Rio de Janeiro). The truth is that they were born in different years, yet only three minutes apart…

What do you think? At 23:10, Silva da Lima, the twins’ mother, arrived at the hospital with contractions. She needed a cesarean section for medical reasons. The woman has whisked away to the operation room, where she was assisted by the children and the mother.

Baby Gabriela was born on December 31, 2019, at 23:58, with a weight of 2,460 kg and a height of 47 cm, and her younger brother Rian – exactly 3 minutes later – 2,860 kg and 49 cm, but already in 2020. The children were born at 35 weeks of pregnancy, and because of this, they were observed in the hospital for another week.

Doctors say that such birth of twins is very rare. Now the New Year is a real family holiday in the family of Faustino da Silva.
