It Happens Once In 48 Million Births! She Is The Little Girl Who Impressed Doctors.

Every child is special in their own way, but it looks like a baby girl named Lucy Marie Perkins is a bit more special than the rest of us. When she was welcomed into the world, she became one in 48 million children who share their birthday not with one parent, but both.

Lucy’s parents, Caitlyn and Tom Perkins, were both born on August 16th. They love the fact that they share a birthday together, and knowing that Caitlyn’s due date was somewhere in August, they joked that their girl could be born on the same date as they were. Little did they know that it was going to turn into a reality.

Dr. Brad Robinson, Caitlyn’s obstetrician, wrote on his Facebook page on Wednesday,

“You are not going to believe this story.”

He shared the news of the unique birth where a baby shares its birthday with that of Mom and Dad, adding,

“Can you guess who else has a birthday on August 16th now? Yep, Lucy was born yesterday on the same day as her parents after spontaneous labor.”

Caitlyn and Tom, who are from Dirranbandi in Southwest Queensland, were looking for a date on their shared birthday and believed they would have a fun time celebrating their special day. As Caitlyn was in the 39th week of pregnancy, she believed Lucy would be born in a couple of days’ time, but the sweet baby simply wouldn’t wait.

“When my waters broke, I responded, ‘No way,’ because I was in denial.”

The proud mom explained after the ordeal. Caitlyn was quickly transported to the Greenslopes Private Hospital in Brisbane, where Lucy weighed in at a healthy 3.3 kilograms. Dr. Robinson, who has worked as an obstetrician for over a decade, said the day Lucy was born was one of the most memorable days of his life.
