An identical twin set, born 15 minutes apart, has birthdays that fall on days and months other than the one they were due to be.
Fatima Madrigal and Robert Trujillo, from Greenfield, California, welcomed fraternal twins Alfredo and Aylin within minutes of each other, but on different days, at Natividad Medical Center.
Son Alfredo was born weighing 6 pounds, 1 ounce at 11:45pm on December 31, 2021, while the parents welcomed daughter Aylin, weighing 5 pounds, 14 ounces, at midnight on January 1, 2022.
A twin set that was fifteen minutes apart in time has birthdays on opposite days, months, or years. The babies were delivered exactly at midnight on New Year’s Day.

Mom Fatima said it was ‘crazy’ her two children have different birthdays, but she’s glad Aylin arrived the day later.
In a release by the medical center, she stated that it was crazy to her that twins are possible and they have very different birthdays. “I was shocked and delighted that she came at midnight.
Twins Alfredo and Aylin will soon join three older siblings — two girls and a boy – at the family home in Greenfield, Monterey County.
Mom-of-three Madrigal said her family couldn’t wait to meet the twins, and that her oldest son was delighted that his first brother would be coming home with his parents.
Alfredo was born at 11.45pm, December 31st 2021, with a weight of 6 pounds and 1 ounce. Aylin was delivered at midnight, January 1st 2022, weighing in at five pounds, fourteen ounces.
Fatima stated that it was crazy her children had different birthdays. But she is glad Aylin, (pictured), who was born in 2022 at the medical center was there the next day.
“This was certainly one of the most memorable delivery of my career,” said Dr Ana Abril Arias a Natividad Medical Group family physician and professor at Natividad.
It was such a pleasure helping these tiny ones to arrive safely here in 2021/2022. It was an incredible way to begin the New Year.
Each year there are approximately 120,000 twins born in America. That’s more than 3% of all births. But it is extremely rare for twins with different birthdays.
