When doctors had to perform an emergency caesarean delivery on their mother Amelia Spence, Ame was born at 29 weeks and Lia at 32.
Miss Spence, 29, said: "It is hard to get our heads around the fact that I was pregnant with two babies at the same time and they aren't twins.
"When I explain it to people they get very confused."
Even more amazingly, Miss Spence became pregnant twice in three weeks while she was taking the contraceptive pill.
She said: "For that to happen twice in three weeks is just unbelievable."
Doctors have explained that hers is a rare case of superfetation, where the body carries on releasing more eggs for fertilisation after a pregnancy has already occurred.
Miss Spence, who lives in Glasgow with partner George Herrity, 33, a tyre fitter, and her two other children, Jordan, nine, and eight-yearold Declan, got the bombshell news when she went for her 12-week scan at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley.
well i guess they've explained it clearly, let's just accept the fact that they're not twins, but what i can only say is that, they are both sooooo cute and adorable!!!
