The brother and sister born with a record-breaking gap of just SIX AND A HALF months

When Sadie Budden spent two years struggling to conceive she thought she might never have children.

But then, to everyone’s surprise, she gave birth to two – in the space of just six-and-a-half months.
Against all the odds, Ronnie and his little sister Sienna were born only 208  days apart. 

Miss Budden, 31, a pre-school teacher, was stunned to get pregnant three weeks after Ronnie was born.

But she and her partner Paul Dennis, 38, a builder, were even more surprised when she gave birth to Sienna at only 26 weeks of pregnancy.

 

Their remarkable babies – known as ‘tandem twins’ as they are born within the same nine to ten months – will now enter UK record books for the smallest age gap between two siblings who are not twins.
