Double pregnancy: Twins born to two women

Kristin over at ParentDish just posted about Twins born to different mothers. For 12 years a couple had undergone IVF treatments in an attempt to have another child. Because of a problem with her immune system, doctors determined that Amy Bernaba was unlikely to get pregnant again. They decided on an unusual option -- fertilized eggs were implanted into Mrs. Bernaba and a surrogate. Odds were against both women getting pregnant, but that was the result. Months later, two baby girls -- fraternal twins -- were born within a half-hour of one another.

Both pregnancies were straightforward and uncomplicated. Mrs. Bernaba delivered by C-section and Torry Keay, the surrogate mother, was induced so the girls were delivered at nearly the same time. The two women have become close friends during their pregnancies.
