She’s dubbed the babies ‘Irish twins’

A woman has shared her experience after giving birth to a baby boy and girl less than 12 months apart.

Lorena Hinnawi gave birth to her son Massimo on November 27, 2020. But she soon learned she was pregnant with a girl, and her baby daughter Camila was born on October 26, 2021.

Hinnawi has dubbed the siblings ‘Irish twins’ as they were born within a year of each other, and has shared her experience on TikTok.

“Coming home from the hospital with one baby,” Hinnawi captioned one video. “Just to find out I’m pregnant again . . . Now my baby has a baby. I can’t wait to watch them grow up together.”

A later video following the birth of Camila has racked up more than 300,000 views.

In another video, Hinnawi lists the comments people have made to her and her husband when they reveal they have two kids so close together.

“WOW, you guys didn’t waste any time,” someone commented.

“I don’t know how you do it,” another said, with a third adding: “Oh god, you must have your hands full.”

And others shared their own experiences with Irish twins.

“My mum has 6 kids and three are under three,” one person wrote.

“This happened to me 10 months apart, boy and girl,” another said.
