Twins Amy and Katie from Ireland were incredibly born 87 days apart.
Mum Maria went into labour four months early, giving birth to Amy - but Katie did not arrive until three months later.
Their incredible births will now become a Guinness World Record for the "longest interval between the birth of twins," the Mirror reported.
The previous record is 84 days.
Doctors have told Maria and husband Chris they have achieved the medical equivalent of winning the lottery, with both girls surviving and healthy.
Maria, who has two other children, told how she was torn between joy and worry after Amy's dangerously early arrival as Katie stayed in her womb, clinging to existence.
"I call the girls our little miracles," she said.
