Only 15 minutes separated their births, but one was born Dec. 31 and the other Jan. 1 in Salinas.
Pregnant with twins, Fatima Madrigal rested on a bed in Natividad Medical Center in Salinas, Calif., on New Year’s Eve.
While Madrigal’s three children waited with her partner at their home in Greenfield, an agricultural town about a 30-minute drive south of Salinas, a team of doctors and nurses prepared for the delivery.The mood inside the room was calm and focused, Arias said. Because twin births carry higher risk, the team included labor and delivery nurses, neonatal intensive care nurses, anesthesiologists and two other doctors.With the umbilical cord cut, nurses lay the newborn against Madrigal’s chest.
Amid the excitement, the twins, born on opposite ends of a bridge between one year and the next, lay on Madrigal’s chest as she rested. “It’s crazy to me that they are twins and have different birthdays,” Madrigal said. “I was surprised and happy that she arrived at midnight.”
