The World Record of ‘longest interval between two twins’ has been achieved by the daughters of Maria Jones-Elliott of Glenmore, Ireland.

The bane of the baby daughters are Amy and Katie. On June 3, 2013; Maria gave birth to Amy (three months prematurely) and she weighed 1lb, 3 oz only. Subsequently, Maria was induced in the hospital at 36 weeks and she gave birth to Katie, who weighed 5 lb, 10 oz. Hence, the total interval of time between the two twins was Eighty Seven (87) days which is an absolute medical miracle as both the babies and the mother are healthy and safe.

Previous World Record:
