Inspiring Videos: Mother & Daughter Gave Birth Only Minutes Apart In The The Same Hospital
Heather Penticoff, 40, and her 20-year-old daughter Destinee Martin had the same due dates and doctors then induced them for separate medical reasons. The two women considered themselves lucky to experience the joy of pregnancy together.
Penticoff's daughter Madeline was born first and Destinee's son Damien was born 46 minutes later later, making Penticoff's grandson roughly the same age as her newborn daughter.
"This is something that you can't plan. This is something God sets in motion, and you just roll with the punches," Penticoff told ABC7 in Fort Myers, Florida.
"It's a blessing all around," Heather said, "I'm just proud of her, so proud of Destinee."
"To have my mom going through it with me is probably the most special, amazing thing ever," added Destinee.
