1 The woman who gave birth on
10.10.10, 09.09.09 and 08.08.08
A Michigan housewife is celebrating the birth of her daughter Cearra on the 10.10.10. It follows the birth of her son on 09.09.09 and her other daughter on 08.08.08, at the odds of 50 million to one. Barbara Soper, 36, said: ‘She's our own little miracle.' Despite the neat pattern of their children's birthdays, the Sopers insist it was not planned… Barbie Soper tells the Grand Rapids Press she's excited about her
children's unique birth dates and that they ‘all get to share in it.

2 The baby who was born at 1:11 on
01.11.2011.
This is one for the record books. A Minnesota woman gave birth at exactly 1:11 a.m. on Tuesday — Jan. 11,2011. That's 1-11-2011. Amy Zeller and Codjo Mensah of Eagan welcomed their daughter, Flora Mensah, at United Hospital in St. Paul. Zeller tells KARE-TV that they were watching the clock click down and the baby was born at exactly the right moment.

3. The twin sisters who gave birth at
the same day, at the same hospital
Twin sisters and best friends can add giving birth to the list of life experiences they have shared. Amy Gilbert and Allison Oliverio, both 25-years-old, were only a wall apart at Henry Ford Macomb hospital while both gave birth for the first time and the
babies, just 14 minutes apart. Dr. Timothy Kim was back and forth delivering both babies. I've been doing this for 12 years and I never heard of twins having a baby on the same day,” said Dr. Kim. Amy gave birthto baby Claire and Allison gave birth to baby Garrett.
The sisters both married their high school sweethearts six months apart. They say they didn't plan on getting pregnant at the same time. The babies were not only 14 minutes apart, but also a pound and an inch apart.

4. The five members of one family who
share the same birth date In an amazing stroke of luck, coincidence or great
planning, five members of one family share the same
birth date, over several generations! The youngest
member to join the curious family was Mila, who was
born on March 29th, 2010 like the rest of the family.
It all began 70 years ago with Anita Marshall. Her
daughter, Alicia Bams, shared her birthday and it kept
snowballing from there. Soon, Anita's grandson, Eddie
Marshall, checked in on the same day. Then, along
came granddaughter Sydne Freeman and, now, Mila.
Bams says, “Now we have one more person to put on
the birthday cake every year.”

5. The woman did own caesarean
section to give birth
This is one tough mother: Ines Ramirez is the only
woman known to have performed a successful
Caesarean-section on herself! The sun had set hours
ago. The nearest clinic was 80 km away over rough
roads, and her husband, her only assistant during a
half-dozen previous births, was drinking at a cantina.
She had no phone and neither did the cantina.
So at midnight, after 12 hours of constant pain, the
petite, 40-year-old mother of six sat down on a low
wooden bench. She took several gulps from a bottle of
rubbing alcohol, grabbed a 15-cm knife and began to
cut.
By the light of a single dim bulb, Ramirez sawed
through skin, fat and muscle before reaching inside
her uterus and pulling out her baby boy. She says she
cut his umbilical cord with a pair of scissors, then
passed out. When she regained consciousness, she
wrapped a sweater around her bleeding abdomen and
asked her 6-year-old son, Benito, to run for help.
Several hours later, the village health assistant, Leon
Cruz, and a second health worker found Ramirez alert
and lying beside her live baby. Cruz sewed her 17-cm
incision up with a regular needle and thread. The two
men lifted mother and child onto a thin straw mat,
lugged them up horse paths to the town's only road,
then drove them to the clinic over two hours away.
That was March 5, 2000. Now Ines Ramirez is
recognized internationally as a modern miracle: She
is believed to be the only woman known to have
performed a successful Caesarean-section on herself.

6 The woman who gave birth three
hours after learning she was
pregnant
Belinda Waite, 21, had been to her local hospital
several times during the past nine months and says
she was told she had a severe case of Irritable Bowel
Syndrome (IBS) and gout. In fact, she was pregnant
with a healthy baby girl.
On February 6th, 2010 – the night before Louise was
born – Miss Waite again went to hospital with pains
throughout her body. At 10 pm doctors confirmed she
was three months pregnant – in fact she was nine
months pregnant – and Louise arrived four and a half
hours later at 2:30 am. Miss Waite was staying with
her partner Wyane Boyles, 28, when she unexpectedly
went into labour. Their baby daughter Louise Boyles
was born at home weighing 8lb 14oz with the help of
Wayne's mum Syliva. ( Source | Via)

7. The twins who were born one
minute apart but in different years
A northern Illinois couple welcomed their new
daughter to the world in the last minute of 2010 —
and a twin son in the first minute of 2011. Ashley
Fansler gave birth to Madisen Carin Lewis at 11:59
pm on New Year's Eve in Machesney Park, 85 miles
northwest of Chicago. Aiden Everette Lewis was born
a minute later, at 12 am on New Year's Day. The
Rockford Register Star reports that Fansler wasn't due
until the end of January but doctors at Rockford
Memorial Hospital scheduled a cesarean section for
Friday evening to avoid complications. The father,
Brandon Lewis, says one of the doctors was counting
the minutes down before the births. Lewis says it was
‘definitely the best' New Year's countdown he's had.

8 The mother who had a single birth,
then twins, and finally triplets
Natasha Wilson, of New York, just gave birth to
triplets. You could say Natasha is on a roll. This isn't
the first time she's given birth. Her first was Nicholas.
Then came the twins James Jr. and Isaiah. At that
point Natasha's mom, Linda Lawrence, joked that the
next time would be triplets. She was right. Natasha
was hoping for a little girl. Now she has 6 little boys.

I will be back with more later

Woah

9. The couple who had
'Black and White'
twins… twice
A mixed-race British couple has
defied the odds — twice — by
producing two sets of twins in
which one sibling appears to be
black and the other white. Dean
Durrant's newborn daughter
Miya has dark skin like him.
Twin sister Leah has fair skin
like her blue-eyed, red-haired
mother, Alison Spooner.Their
older siblings Lauren and
Hayleigh, born in 2001, also
have strikingly different skin
tones and eye colors.
Both sets of twins are fraternal
rather than identical, meaning
they are the product of two
separately fertilized eggs, so it is
not unusual that they don't look
alike. Miya's skin color was
more influenced by her father's
genes, while Leah takes after her
mother.But scientists say it's
rare for a couple to have two
sets of twins, end even rarer for
them to have such different
appearances.
The phenomenon is so
uncommon that there are no
statistics to illustrate its
probability, although it is
thought likely to become more
common because of the growing
number of mixed-race couples.

10. The woman who
gave birth to a
baby nearly her
own size
Stacey Herald, a 28 1/2-inch (72
cm) woman, gave birth to an 18-
inch (46 cm) daughter who
wasn't much smaller than her
mother! Pregnancy swelled
Herald's belly to comically large
proportions, the woman said.“If
I laid down, I looked like a
snail,” she said, laughing. “That's
how big my belly was. I looked
like an Idaho potato with arms
and legs.”
