Twins Born on Different Days, Months, and Years - Neatorama

Tariq Griffin's twin boys are special. Not only because they're twins, but because they're twins born on different days, months, and years!

Twin brother Tarrance was born a bit earlier — 26 minutes to be exact.
Tarrance Kyle Griffin Jr. was born at 11:51 p.m. Wednesday, followed by Tariq Lamont Griffin at 12:17 a.m. Thursday.
That means the boys have the unique distinction of having been born on different days, months and years.

I vaguely remember hearing about a pair of twins of which one was born during the last minutes of 1999, followed by the second twin born as the the year 2000 started. This technically means they were born in a different millennium!

I think the longest interval between twins a pair of fraternal twins documented on Discovery Health Channel. The interval between the boys was 10 days, because they were born very early and labor was stopped after the first boy was born.

Miss Orange - the millennium started in 2001 ;)

DOJ: I'm glad I didn't have anything in my mouth at the time, or I would be choking now! I needed that, seriously. So soon after delivering my daughter, that mental image was a real hoot!

To answer your question, though...no corks. They use what are called "anti-tocolytic" drugs to stop the contractions. An older practice was to pump the woman full of medical-grade hooch.

I was just thinking about that situation the other day. Not the actually event, but how odd it would be if you had a Dec 31st and a Jan 1st set of twins.

Go figure, it happens.

Cool but when will twins be born on a leap year day and the other not on the leap day? Then they would have far apart ages as well as diffrent days.

The one twin (Tariq) is named after his mom??! I think that is more interesting than being born on a different day/month/year than your twin.

Actually, that is an Alex-typo. The mom is not named Tariq. She is named Tangernika.
