Born a whole hour later, but older than his brother: The rare story in the history of medicine

An interesting story happened in the Peterson family. They became the parents of twins – charming boys. But that’s not what surprised everyone. The reason for the phenomenon of these twins is that the baby, who was born half an hour later, became the older brother. And here’s why. Emily Peterson gave birth to Samuel at 1:39 pm on November 6th. His brother Ronan saw the world half an hour later, at 2:10 am that same day.

And everything would be fine if the transition to winter time did not take place on this day. All the clocks in the area were set back an hour. It turns out that, legally, Ronan’s birth did not occur at 2:10, but an hour earlier at 1:10, which was the time recorded on the baby’s birth certificate. That’s how the older brother automatically became the younger.

This story spread with incredible speed after it was published on the page of the Maternity Hospital where these guys were born.

“My husband said with surprise: “This is a puzzle.” And it actually took me a whole day to understand the explanation of this whole story, ”the boys’ mother laughs. The midwife, who has been working in the hospital for over 40 years and delivered Emily, said that this situation happened for the first time in her practice.

The boys were born healthy and without any abnormalities. A joyful event took place in the state of Massachusetts, in the Cape Cod clinic. At the moment, the twins are at home, surrounded by parental care.
