The parents Diane and Daniel McLaren from Airdrie in North Lanarkshire were shocked when their 'simultaneous twins' Molly and Micky McLaren made their entrance into the world together. It was the first time a phenomenon of such a nature happened at the University Hospital Wishaw in North Lanarkshire where these twins were born.
Diane McLaren was told to give a huge push as the head of one of the twins was seen crowning. In the simultaneous birth, Micky emerged head first, and so did Molly feet first. "I gave a massive push and there was a big whoosh. I thought I'd delivered my son, but the team were all huddled together and then the midwife said, 'Both the babies are here now' [sic]," said Diane McLaren.

Mum-of-five Diane McLaren said that the birth had been far more painful than what she had experienced before. The twins are now 12 weeks old and are healthy and thriving.
