FORT MYERS, Fla. - A woman and her daughter both gave birth at the same hospital on the same day.
Heather Penticoff and her daughter Destinee Martin each found out they were pregnant on the same day. They had the same due dates and, for separate medical reasons, doctors at Lee Memorial Hospital in Florida decided to induce both of them Tuesday.
Penticoff's daughter Madeline was born first and Destinee's son Damien was born almost three hours later, making Penticoff's grandson roughly the same age as her newborn daughter.
Penticoff tells that the births are "like having twins without carrying twins."
Martin says experiencing pregnancy and birth with her mother "is probably the most special, amazing thing ever."
