    Record-breaking twins Amy and Katie Jones have been born an -incredible born 87 days apart.

    Mother Maria Jones-Elliott went into labour four months early, giving birth to Amy – but Katie did not arrive until three months later. Their incredible births will now -become a Guinness World Record for the “longest interval between the birth of twins”. The previous record was 84 days.

    great story, best of luck to the parents and kids. those midwives in WRH do a great job, if only WRH got the funding it deserves.

    Some midwives do, some don't like in any job. I could name one or two who have a reputation for being downright horrible.
