“It was exciting knowing that my twins were the first babies for the New Year,” Carol told the Sunday Samoan yesterday.
The 34-year-old mother who lives in Si’usega said the ordeal was “painful” but she was well supported by her relatives.
“It’s an amazing feeling,” she said. “I have nine children, two girls and seven boys including Elijah and Enoch.
“I’ve promised myself that they are my last. I’m so pleased that my family and everyone are so excited.”
Nurse Manager at Maternity Ward, Finau Amiga confirmed that the twins were among eight babies born on New Year’s day at the Hospital.
“The male twins were born on 12:42 am,” she said. “The first one weighed 5.9ounce while the second one was 6.5ounce.”
The last of the eight babies was born at 11pm that day.
