The coincidental timing of the births was uncanny. Image Credit: sxc.hu The remarkable coincidence saw Sarah Mariuz give birth in Denver, Colorado while her identical twin sister Leah Rodgers was also giving birth in La Jolla, California.

Both babies arrived within the space of a single minute - 1.18am on Thursday, June 30th.

Both women had learned of their own pregnancies at around the same time last year and the births had been predicted to be within four days of one another.The only major difference between them was that one gave birth to a boy while the other had a girl.

"We've always lived in separate places, but all of us - we have two sisters - are very close in age and very close," said Rodgers. "But certainly there's another connection at the twin level."

"I call it my 'twintuition' - and I knew she was pregnant, too."
