Pregnant Women
On September 27, 1957, two pregnant women who enter the University College Hospital of the West Indies in Jamaica are admitted to the same ward and deliver their boy babies simultaneously. To their amazement and amusement, the hospital authorities discover that the mothers live at the same address and believe it or not the babies have the same father. (Taken from 'This day in our past' published in the Jamaica Gleaner.)
