Two sisters, Megan O'Brien and Sara Seyler, from Doylestown, Pennsylvania, both became pregnant at the same time and ended up welcoming identical twin girls within months of each other. Megan O'Brien, who is 29 years old, gave birth to daughters named Lilah and Josie. However, their parents were left in disbelief when, just three months later, Sara Seyler also gave birth to identical twin girls. The remarkable coincidence of both sisters having identical twin girls is truly astounding.
Sara confessed that she initially felt anxious about sharing her pregnancy news with Megan because she didn't want to steal her sister's spotlight. Sister Sara Seyler, aged 32, soon welcomed Lennon and Parker, and even their mom can't distinguish between them.
The simultaneous pregnancies came as a surprise to both women from Doylestown, Pennsylvania, as there is no family history of twins. Although Megan's husband, Matt, is a triplet, there were no signs that Megan would give birth to twins, let alone her sister, Sarah.
Lilah and Josie were soon joined by Lennon and Parker. Reflecting on the moment she found out Sara was expecting twins as well, Megan said: "My jaw just dropped. I got tears in my eyes because there are no twins in our family anywhere. It was so cool that she was having twins too.
"When she told me that she was pregnant with twins, I was actually not home. I was celebrating a friend's bachelorette.
"I knew she was having an ultrasound – like her very first ultrasound – and then she called me as well.
"I thought she was probably just FaceTiming me to tell me how the appointment went, and I answered the FaceTime, and she was crying, and I thought, 'Oh my God, what's wrong?'.
"Then, she holds up the ultrasound picture, and there were two babies."
The sisters said it was a complete coincidence that they both fell pregnant around the same time.

The double pregnancies came as a shock to both women. Sara said, "When I found out I was pregnant, I called her, and I was apologizing. I was like, I'm so sorry because, you know, I had my first baby, and this was going to be her first pregnancy.
"I thought she was going to be mad at me, like, 'you're stealing my thunder.'
"So, I called her, and I was like, I'm so sorry."
The sisters expressed their love for going through the pregnancy journey together.
Megan said, "Sara was pregnant before me with her son, but when I was pregnant with twins, you know, I was always three months ahead of her.
"So, she would say, 'hey, what is going on with you? So, it's normal, yeah.'
"You always had someone to answer questions and kind of relate to. But it was always nice to have her as someone who just went through a pregnancy. We kind of bounced off each other in different ways, I
