A mum says her “mind has been blown” after she gave birth to both her daughters on her birthday 11 years apart.

Marie Barton from South Oxhey, who already shared September 20 with first daughter Lola, has now had another baby on the same date this week.

The 34-year-old told the Watford Observer: “Not only are we all born on the same birthday, we were all born on a Tuesday, and all of our years are double digits (1988, 2011, 2022).

“It’s mental, you couldn’t make it up! My mind can’t wrap itself round it.”

Marie, now a mother-of-four, revealed she actually went into labour the day before but the baby clung on to join the September 20 club.

“I’m even there thinking I’ll have her within the hour, she’ll be born the 19th, but no she actually held on till the 20th as well. I genuinely cannot believe it.”

Even more incredibly, the baby wasn’t even due for three weeks!

“I was joking about it prior to her being born thinking ‘wouldn’t it be funny’, but she’s three weeks early!

“I had no intention of her being born early. She was due the 11th of October!"

Marie, who works as a teaching assistant at Woodhall School, said everyone she told has been stunned by the lottery-level odds, but her daughter was over the moon.

“Lola thinks that it’s the best present she’s ever had – so that was quite beautiful.

“She’s just delighted. Obviously she had to spend her birthday with Nan and uncles and aunties but she said it was the best birthday she could imagine having a new sister.”

Marie’s sister, Emma Barton, who was not born on September 20, added: “She told us that she was due in October and we all just laughed at her and said absolutely not that baby is coming on the 20th of September.

“Her waters broke on the 19th around 1pm and we said ‘doesn’t matter, it’s coming on the 20th’, and then lo and behold at 7.06am baby was born on 20th September.”
