Stephanie Edginton and Nicole Montgomery delivered their daughters Cora and Louisa six minutes apart at Virtua Hospital in Voorhees.

Ms Edgington said that as she was on her way to the hospital with her husband, she got a call saying Ms Montgomery was also on her way.

The twins themselves say they were born three minutes apart.
