A young couple, both born on the exact same day, celebrated their 28th birthday on October 30th with the most precious birthday gift: the arrival of a baby girl, also born on the same day. The family thus achieved the remarkable coincidence of all three sharing the same birth date.
On the family's shared birthday, staff at the Obstetrics Department of Wuhan Central Hospital carefully planned a special birthday surprise for the young family. On November 3rd, Mrs. Xiong and her husband left the hospital with their newborn in their arms.
According to the Changjiang Daily, Mrs. Xiong and Mr. Wang first met online in November 2023 and were amazed to discover that not only did they share a birthday, it was literally the same year, month, and day. Mr. Wang recalled, “Out of the vast sea of people, finding someone with exactly the same birthday as you is truly rare.” This special connection quickly drew the two together, and they registered their marriage last year.
● Emergency Natural Delivery
Mrs. Xiong became pregnant in January of this year. Then, just last week, as she was due, her family took her to Wuhan Central Hospital. During labor, medical staff initially found the baby's position was not favorable for a natural birth, but with their assistance, a 7-pound (3.5 kg) baby girl was safely delivered.
What surprised everyone even more was that the baby's birthday happened to be exactly the same as her parents'—October 30th. “It’s such an incredible coincidence, I never dreamed the baby would arrive on this very day!” said the new mom, Mrs. Xiong, her face beaming with joy and disbelief.
● Medical Staff Celebrate With Cake
Upon learning about this remarkable coincidence, the hospital staff organized a warm birthday surprise, gifting the family a birthday cake, plush toys, and more. Mr. Wang said, “The baby's arrival is our most precious birthday gift, and the most beautiful destiny bestowed upon us.” “This is absolutely the most unforgettable birthday of our lives.”
Kang Wei, head nurse of the Obstetrics Department at Wuhan Central Hospital, said that in many years of work she has witnessed countless births and a number of coincidences, but a whole family sharing the same birthday is especially rare. “It’s a wonderful kind of fate, and through this birthday celebration we hope the mother and her family feel even more cared for and supported.”
