The twin sisters who gave birth at the same day, at the same hospital

Most Unusual Birth Stories

Twin sisters and best friends can add giving birth to the list of life experiences they have shared. Amy Gilbert and Allison Oliverio, both 25-years-old, were only a wall apart at Henry Ford Macomb hospital while both gave birth for the first time and the babies, just 14 minutes apart. Dr. Timothy Kim was back and forth delivering both babies. I've been doing this for 12 years and I never heard of twins having a baby on the same day,” said Dr. Kim. Amy gave birth to baby Claire and Allison gave birth to baby Garrett. The sisters both married their high school sweethearts six months apart. They say they didn't plan on getting pregnant at the same time. The babies were not only 14 minutes apart, but also a pound and an inch apart.”

The mother who had a single birth, then twins, and finally triplets

Most Unusual Birth Stories

Natasha Wilson, of New York, just gave birth to triplets. You could say Natasha is on a roll. This isn't the first time she's given birth. Her first was Nicholas. Then came the twins James Jr. and Isaiah. At that point Natasha's mom, Linda Lawrence, joked that the next time would be triplets. She was right. Natasha was hoping for a little girl. Now she has 6 little boys.

The five members of one family who share the same birth date

Most Unusual Birth Stories

In an amazing stroke of luck, coincidence or great planning, five members of one family share the same birth date, over several generations! The youngest member to join the curious family was Mila, who was born on March 29th, 2010 like the rest of the family.

It all began 70 years ago with Anita Marshall. Her daughter, Alicia Bams, shared her birthday and it kept snowballing from there. Soon, Anita's grandson, Eddie Marshall, checked in on the same day. Then, along came granddaughter Sydne Freeman and, now, Mila. Bams says, “Now we have one more person to put on the birthday cake every year.”

The woman who gave birth three hours after learning she was pregnant

Most Unusual Birth Stories

Belinda Waite, 21, had been to her local hospital several times during the past nine months and says she was told she had a severe case of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and gout. In fact, she was pregnant with a healthy baby girl.

On February 6th, 2010 – the night before Louise was born – Miss Waite again went to hospital with pains throughout her body. At 10 pm doctors confirmed she was three months pregnant – in fact she was nine months pregnant – and Louise arrived four and a half hours later at 2:30 am. Miss Waite was staying with her partner Wyane Boyles, 28, when she unexpectedly went into labour. Their baby daughter Louise Boyles was born at home weighing 8lb 14oz with the help of Wayne's mum Syliva.


The twins who were born one minute apart but in different years

Most Unusual Birth Stories

A northern Illinois couple welcomed their new daughter to the world in the last minute of 2010 — and a twin son in the first minute of 2011. Ashley Fansler gave birth to Madisen Carin Lewis at 11:59 pm on New Year's Eve in Machesney Park, 85 miles northwest of Chicago. Aiden Everette Lewis was born a minute later, at 12 am on New Year's Day. The Rockford Register Star reports that Fansler wasn't due until the end of January but doctors at Rockford Memorial Hospital scheduled a cesarean section for Friday evening to avoid complications. The father, Brandon Lewis, says one of the doctors was counting the minutes down before the births. Lewis says it was ‘definitely the best' New Year's countdown he's had.

The woman did own caesarean section to give birth

Most Unusual Birth Stories

This is one tough mother: Ines Ramirez is the only woman known to have performed a successful Caesarean-section on herself! The sun had set hours ago. The nearest clinic was 80 km away over rough roads, and her husband, her only assistant during a half-dozen previous births, was drinking at a cantina. She had no phone and neither did the cantina.
So at midnight, after 12 hours of constant pain, the petite, 40-year-old mother of six sat down on a low wooden bench. She took several gulps from a bottle of rubbing alcohol, grabbed a 15-cm knife and began to cut.

By the light of a single dim bulb, Ramirez sawed through skin, fat and muscle before reaching inside her uterus and pulling out her baby boy. She says she cut his umbilical cord with a pair of scissors, then passed out. When she regained consciousness, she wrapped a sweater around her bleeding abdomen and asked her 6-year-old son, Benito, to run for help. Several hours later, the village health assistant, Leon Cruz, and a second health worker found Ramirez alert and lying beside her live baby. Cruz sewed her 17-cm incision up with a regular needle and thread. The two men lifted mother and child onto a thin straw mat, lugged them up horse paths to the town's only road, then drove them to the clinic over two hours away.

That was March 5, 2000. Now Ines Ramirez is recognized internationally as a modern miracle: She is believed to be the only woman known to have performed a successful Caesarean-section on herself.

The couple who had 'Black and White' twins… twice

Most Unusual Birth Stories

A mixed-race British couple has defied the odds — twice — by producing two sets of twins in which one sibling appears to be black and the other white. Dean Durrant's newborn daughter Miya has dark skin like him. Twin sister Leah has fair skin like her blue-eyed, red-haired mother, Alison Spooner.Their older siblings Lauren and Hayleigh, born in 2001, also have strikingly different skin tones and eye colors.

Both sets of twins are fraternal rather than identical, meaning they are the product of two separately fertilized eggs, so it is not unusual that they don't look alike. Miya's skin color was more influenced by her father's genes, while Leah takes after her mother.But scientists say it's rare for a couple to have two sets of twins, end even rarer for them to have such different appearances.

The phenomenon is so uncommon that there are no statistics to illustrate its probability, although it is thought likely to become more common because of the growing number of mixed-race couples.

The woman who gave birth to a baby nearly her own size

Most Unusual Birth Stories

Stacey Herald, a 28 1/2-inch (72 cm) woman, gave birth to an 18-inch (46 cm) daughter who wasn't much smaller than her mother! Pregnancy swelled Herald's belly to comically large proportions, the woman said.“If I laid down, I looked like a snail,” she said, laughing. “That's how big my belly was. I looked like an Idaho potato with arms and legs.

Guinness World Records For World's Shortest Men

In this corner, measuring in at 27 inches tall, Edward Nino Hernandez -- newly declared "world's shortest man" by Guinness World Records.

And in this corner, coming in at 22 inches tall, we have the challenger: Khagendra Thapa Magar.

It's not much of a challenge -- once he turns 18 next month and the measurements are official, Khagendra is certain to knock his little rival from his high perch and take the title of "world's smallest man."

The 10-pound Nepali dynamo visited New York City to promote the Ripley's newest book of oddities, "Enter If You Dare."

As I wrote at AOL News, Magar eats just 3.5 ounces of food each day, which is roughly equivalent to two chocolate bars. He weighs as much as a cat, and is only a little taller than a newborn -- if a newborn could stand.

Doctors haven't figured out why this karate-loving dance machine is so small, but it's believed to be a pituitary gland disorder.

You can see more of Magar and other world record holders in my special gallery, New World Records.

Top 5 Gang Signs Criminal Tattoos In The World

Throughout modern history, Tattoos have been associated with Criminality. Over the centuries tattoos have been the indelible marks of royalty, of loyalty to a gang, of religious devotion and pledges of love. Among criminals, Tattoos can be used to show membership of gangs and record the wearer’s personal history – such as his or her skills, specialties, accomplishments and convictions. They are also used as means of personal expression. Of late certain designs have been developed to recognize coded meaning. The code systems can be quite complex and, because of the nature of what they encode, they are often not widely recognized.Bellow is list with no specific order:

Mara Salvatrucha Tattoos

Criminal Tattoos In The World

Mara Salvatrucha a.k.a MS, Mara, and MS-13 is a criminal gang that began to operate in Los Angeles in the 1980s. The MS has spread across the United States and Central America with startling speed, boasting tens of thousands of members. They deal ruthlessly with competing gangs and any members who display disloyalty, often leaving a trail of dismembered corpses in their wake. They are poised to surpass the Mafia as the country’s most organized criminal network. And by operating within the insular Central American immigrant communities, the Mara Salvatrucha has been able to easily elude law enforcement agencies. Many Mara Salvatrucha members cover themselves in tatoos. Common markings include “MS”,”13″, “Salvatrucha”, the “Devil Horns”, the name of their clique.

The Russian Crimina Tattoos

Criminal Tattoos In The World

Criminal Tattoos In The World

Russian criminal tattoos have a complex system of symbols which can ‘read’ to give quite detailed information about the wearer. Not only do the symbols carry meaning but the area of the body on which they are placed may be meaningful too. The initiation tattoo of a new gang member is usually placed on the chest and may incorporate a rose. A rose on the chest is also used within the Russian Mafia. Tattoos done in a Russian prison have a distinct bluish color and usually appear somewhat blurred because of the lack of instruments to draw fine lines. In addition to voluntary tattooing, tattoos are used to stigmatize and punish individuals within the criminal society. ‘Grins’ may be placed on an individual who fails to pay debts in card games and often have very blatant sexual images, embarrassing the wearer.

Yakuza Tattoos

Criminal Tattoos In The World

Criminal Tattoos In The World

Extensive body tattoos (‘body suits’) are commonly worn by Yakuza members. These traditional tattoos are known as Irezumi in Japanese. Their size and elaborate nature show not only the wearers’ affiliation, but also his ability to endure pain. Instead of being used for ritual or status purposes, tattooed marks began to be placed on criminals as a punishment. Tattooing was legalized by the occupation forces in 1945, but has retained its image of criminality. For many years, traditional Japanese tattoos were associated with the Yakuza and many businesses in Japan (such as public baths, fitness centers and hot springs) still ban customers with tattoos.

Triads Tattoos

Criminal Tattoos In The World

Traid is the western name given to a Chinese secret society (because of the importance of the triangle, representing the harmony of Earth, Heaven, and Man, in the initiation ceremonies). Triads take part in the full range of criminal activities that most other forms of organized crime gangs do, with a few extra as well. Tattoos have been proudly worn by members of the triads since Qing Dynasty times. The tattoos are often elaborate, covering much of the body, and feature Chinese characters mixed with mythical animals such as dragons and phoenixes.

Britain Mafia Tattoos

Criminal Tattoos In The World

Criminal Tattoos In The World

ACAB is an acronym often integrated into prison tattoos in the United Kingdom. It is most commonly rendered with one letter between the knuckle and first joint of each finger, sometimes as symbolic small dots with or without the accompanying letters. Also commonly presumed to be associated with the UK prison system (often incorrectly) are words on the knuckles, homemade tattoos (cotton, needle and indian ink) and similar. Many prison / jail related tattoo designs are now adopted by the youth culture as a means of identifying themselves as tough, mean, or to imply their willingness to go to jail for their crew or gang. ACAB can stand for All Coppers Are Bastards, or Always Carry A Bible, but most likely All Coppers Are Bastards depending on who is asking and whether the bearer is trying to make a good impression.

A Real Tragic Love Story

It was the beginning of my sophomore year. I transferred to another school because my dad need to find a job and it seemed he found one with his friends. I was a newbie to that school and yet I didn’t know anyone or try to talk to anyone. I was a shy girl. No one would even try to talk to me, so throughout the whole time there I was alone. For many times, i try to hide myself from everyone because I’m always all by myself and people think I’m weird because of it. I had thought that my entire year there just might be the same as last year where i was all by myself and even my friends left me. Not until that day happen.

I was sitting in my class one day and I noticed a boy sitting behind me. I don’t quite remember his name, but i know that he and his friends are always so loud and I wasn’t able to study on my free time or anything. They were mostly talking about girls and stuff boys would talk about. I was kind of getting tired of them yapping the whole time so I got up and tried to walk away, but one of my notebooks fell down by his foot. I tried not to bend down and grab the notebook because I fear they might make fun of me. I then said, “Would you get that for me?” They all stopped talking and looked at me. I was thinking to myself, “Oh damn…” The boy who sat behind me smiled and said, “Sure,” and handed the notebook to me. I grabbed it and make my way out.

The next day as I was sitting in my desk, he
