Twin Sisters Who Held Hands During Childbirth Still Growing Stronger 2 Years Later. Photos

Twin sisters who held hands in the first seconds of their lives can't stand being away from each other, two years after their odd-defying birth. ....


Jenna and Jillian Thistlethwaite were born on May 9, 2014 in Akron, Ohio after sharing the same amniotic sack - a condition that affects about 1 in 10,000 pregnancies and increases the chances of complications.

Their mother Sarah had spent 57 days on bed rest to minimize the risks and was relieved to give birth to two healthy girls.

The twins were born 45 seconds apart and as soon as the doctors held them close to each other, they clasped hands, stunning everyone in the delivery room.

Two years later, the sisters don't like to be separated to run errands, according to reports.
