Sister Sister! Twins Give Birth One Hour Apart

In one of the cutest twin moments ever, 20-year-old identical twin sisters Zaakira Mitchell and Shaakira White gave birth to children just one hour apart July 24—and one of the sisters even had twins of her own! According to WLTX.com:

Mitchell traveled from Rock Hill to accompany White to her doctor’s appointment at Palmetto Health Baptist. But she had no idea she and her sister would go into labor.

“Around three, 3:30 she came back and said ‘I’m 5 centimeters dilated.’ So Dr. Ferguson was telling her that she was going to be admited today, so that meant we were both going to have our babies on the same day,” said Mitchell. “We didn’t know, it wasn’t planned.”

About an hour later, Dr. Ferguson delivered Zaakira’s baby, Kadin Zaakai, and then Shaakira delivered twins, Landon Elijah and London Elise, by C-section. Zaakira was actually supposed to have her baby on July 26 while Shaakira’s C-section was scheduled for August 2. Mother nature obviously had other plans in mind for these twins, but they didn’t mind.

“That’s like my best friend,” Zaakira said. “So for us to share this, that was really special and it was really emotional.”

Dr. Ferguson agreed:

“The whole thing was very exciting. All of a sudden all this family who had been there for Zaakira were suddenly there for Shaakira as well,” he said.

At least this sisters will have each other to lean on as they figure out motherhood. Best of luck to the new twin mommies!

    At a time of such happiness for my family, I am overwhelmed
    with anger that because of pure evil and ignorance, the first assumption would
    be to assume incorrectly about their lives. I must have been living under a
    rock to actually think that people would not make hateful, rude, and false assumptions.
    First my nieces do not have the same “baby daddy”! They actually have spouses one
    is married and the other is engaged to college graduate with a Master’s degree!
    All three babies have their fathers in their lives. They are both educated,
    come from a very well educated and respected community and family. For all of
    the negative commenters, I cannot change your personal opinions or beliefs,
    however your bigotry is and ignorance certainly not needed. Thank you to all
    who chose to give positive blessings and congratulations.

    Please 20 year olds babies having babies? Why? Zaakira & Shaakira, Landon & London…puhlease!

    • Immapray4u

      A 20 yr old is not a baby.

    • Lady85

      They’re younger than some prefer, but the different last names indicates that one or both of them are married. Blessings to both of them and ALL the bundles of joy :-)

      Umm when was a 20 year old a baby? The age of consent in most of the western world is 16 so this article shows no proof of them doing anything legally or morally wrong.

      ROFL! I was thinking the same thing. Those names are a bit much!

      20 year olds are not babies you idiot!
