Sisters give birth within minutes of each other

Two sisters who live more than 3,000 miles apart have given birth within minutes of each other.

''We both had home births, we both had boys and we gave birth on the same day, 19 minutes apart, although because of the time difference I was in the afternoon and she was in the morning.''

Andrea Mansfield, 33, had her sixth son Michael in Liverpool, north west England, just 19 minutes before her 29-year-old sibling Audrey Westich gave birth to son Levi in Pennsylvania.

Andrea is quoted by the Liverpool Echo newspaper as saying: ''It was amazing. We joked about it but never dreamt that it would happen.

''We both had home births, we both had boys and we gave birth on the same day, 19 minutes apart, although because of the time difference I was in the afternoon and she was in the morning.''
