these twins i went to high school with were born three months apart because one of them was a premature birth

millions born every year, so it must happen at least a few times every year

I was born on midnight, so it's not like it's be impossible for the same thing to happen to twins

sometimes twins can be born hours a part, i know in extreme cases, it could be an entire week

There were twins recently born on December 31st at 11:59pm and then January 1st at 12:01am. Different days, AND different years.

wow, it took two minutes for that baby to pop out?

Sometimes it takes a little extra time yeah

Sounds like it'd be pretty common tbh, 24 hours a day Twins being born at an average of 17 minutes apart according to first google result because **** it I don't really care that much that's a 17 minute window per 1440 minutes a day about a 5% mean chance.

Actually cool story, here in Macedonia there was a case like that BUT with the added bonus of 1 of the twins being born on 31.12.2015 at 11.59PM and the other one on 01.01.2016 at 00:02 am. So even tho they are twins, they have different YEARS of birth.

yea it happened this year, one was born on the 31st of december and the other was born on the 1st of januarary.

More common than you think. My mom was a member of the Twin club, cause she had a pair of twins, and there were at lest two other moms who had twins with different birthdays.

maybe he meant 4 kids total

or maybe he said pair because there were two, sure we knew there were two but we also say a pair of shoes even if we know there are two shoes

Not identical, but it happened to me and my twin.

yeah it happens, met a guy who's twins were born on 1999 and 2000 ten seconds apart

The same thing happened in Denmark as well!

It has definitely happened. The really fun cases would be the twins born in different months, and even better, different years because of the time delay. There has also been cases where they have extended differences when one twin is birthed early and the other remains in the womb to be born later.
