After experiencing miscarriages, identical twins Jalynne Crawford and Janelle Leopoldo were thrilled to discover last year that they were both pregnant with baby boys. On June 18, the twins welcomed their babies just a few hours apart at the same hospital. The babies were even delivered by the same doctor.
"After I delivered, I was in the recovery room," Crawford says."When Janelle delivered, they wheeled her back to the OR, [but] immediately following her birth they wheeled our beds next to each other so we could see one another and our babies. This was a day she and I will never forget." Now, both women are more than halfway through healthy pregnancies, and their due dates are only four days apart. Crawford, who has three children with her husband, San Francisco Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford, recently shared photos on Instagram from a pregnancy shoot that the sisters did together, and was candid about their journey in the comments.
Leopoldo agrees. “I think it is something really special that you can’t even describe in words," she tells SELF."We have dreamt of being pregnant together for years. After many struggles of getting pregnant, I’m just grateful to be sharing the experience with my best friend."
