Mom and Daughter Give Birth on the Same Day in the Same Hospital
Nine months ago, Heather Penticoff, 40, and her daughter Destinee Martin, 20, of Lee County, Florida told each other that they were pregnant. The timing was coincidental and they kept it up. Both women had the same due dates. For different reasons, their 2 different doctors decided to induce labor for both women on Tuesday. Madeline, Destinee’s daughter, was then born. Two hours and 46 minutes later, Madeline’s nephew, Damien was born. That’s quite young to become an aunt!
But the family is happy with this experience. Bryan Anderson of NBC 2 reports:
"It's like having twins without carrying twins," said Heather.
Their experience expecting together is unique, just like the ages of other relatives of this Lee County family. Destinee has two aunts and an uncle younger than her.
"It's a blessing all around," Heather said, "I'm just proud of her, so proud of Destinee."
"To have my mom going through it with me is probably the most special, amazing thing ever," added Destinee.

That said, this sounds an awful lot like the movie Father of the Bride 2.
