'The Quad Squad': Sisters give birth minutes apart, months after other two sisters give birth days apart
Two Iowa sisters gave birth to their babies just 29 minutes apart, despite the fact that their due dates were weeks from each other. Remarkably, their two other sisters gave birth in June, just three days apart.
Sisters Brandy Meisheid and Allison Sweeney gave birth on the same day, just 29 minutes apart, despite having due dates weeks from each other.
Their other two sisters also gave birth in June, just three days apart.
The sisters said it was their 'lifelong dream' to be pregnant together.
Brandy Meisheid and her sister Allison Sweeney were pregnant at the same time, but they never expected to have their children at the same time; Sweeney was due on October 31, while Meisheid's due date was November 13. But on October 22, doctors had to induce Meisheid. As for Sweeney, her water broke and she went into labor.
Their sons, Myles and Kohen, were born just 29 minutes apart, in hospital rooms next to each other.
“When she got to the hospital, we knew that she had an appointment that morning. So we almost thought it was a prank that they were at labor and delivery instead of at her appointment, but it didn’t take long to figure out that they weren’t joking,” Meisheid told WRAL.
Meisheid said the two sisters were in constant communication during their labors.
“Our family is not capable of not talking to each other,” she said. “We had the family chat going and then Allison and I had our own chat, like, how many centimeters? I’m stalled out at this.”
“It was really cool to call Mom and tell her. Our cousin twins are about to arrive,” Sweeney added.
Little Myles and Kohen are just half of the family's remarkable birth story.
Meisheid and Sweeney have two other sisters, Taylor Campbell and Rachel Mantermach, who were also recently pregnant. Their babies, Charles and Merritt, were born in June, just three days apart.
The family calls the four new babies "The Quad Squad."
All four sisters spent five months pregnant together.
“Having a family with four girls, it’s always a lifelong dream to be pregnant together, but it was never anything we put pressure on ourselves to do,” Meisheid said. “It was just a ‘Could you imagine if this ever happened and how great that would be?’ And God had plans to let it happen.”
