Ohio couple with the same birthday give birth to twins on their birthday. The whole family has the same birthday.

I would hate to have to coordinate birthdays with the family though, if everyone has the same birthday. 😵‍💫

On the other hand, with a sample size big enough, there is a high probability that low probability events will happen.

They could singlehandedly thwart the birthday attack.

Yeh but 1 in a million chances happen 9/10

YMMV

Around 1 in 130 thousand given you know the two kids are twins. Just 365x365, at least ignoring leap year permutations and the possibility of the twins being born right around midnight with one before and one after.

That’s the odds of the baby sharing the birthday with one parent. You can’t calculate the odds of two people with the same birthday meeting, getting together, and having twins with the same birthdays. Not knowing they are twins is also part of it too.

I was going to say I'm doing the math and I'm getting something much higher, closer to 1 and 33 million for identical twins and 1 and 5 million for regular twins

u/jm17lfc 2d ago

I said “given that you know the two kids are twins.” Couldn’t have made that clearer. It’s just the odds that this particular family would all share a birthday.

1

u/Amiibohunter000 2d ago

I know. I was saying the original question was looking for the odds and you are adding qualifiers that drastically alter the odds so you can’t do that. It was clear just an inaccurate way to look at things.

It's 1 in 4.4 million.

33 (for twins)x365x365 for both parents and one child (in this case twins) to have the same birthday. For a normal 4 person family it's 1 in 365³ (48 million)

u/jm17lfc 2d ago

Right, the 4 person family without twins would indeed be 1 in 365^3. So a 4 person family with twins, where the twins are paired and practically guaranteed the same birthday, that becomes 1 in 365^2. No clue where you’re getting this 33 from.

u/notcomplainingmuch 2d ago

The probability to have twins is 1 in 33

u/RandomPenquin1337 2d ago

Not really. Theres only 365 days in the year bro

u/Hefty_Wrongdoer_2553 3d ago

could they not have taken a worse photo?

u/PaleontologistOk1176 3d ago

She’s still in a hospital bed after forcing 2 children out of her vagina! I think she looks great.

u/Hefty_Wrongdoer_2553 3d ago

I am not saying she doesn't look great, I'm saying they could have maybe made Shure the photo isn't blurry and nobody is making funny faces

u/AnnaOwie 3d ago

Why does that matter? It’s their photo. You don’t know how the birth was for them

u/CatfishEnchiladas 2d ago

Post birth photos capture the feelings so well.

u/Blenderx06 2d ago

I had the first baby of the new year at my local hospital, so it got a little newspaper article. The hospital pr person came in my room the next day with no prior warning, snapped a quick photo and left. I looked terrible, having just given birth in the wee hours! I had no say in what photo they used or anything.

u/AC-burg 1d ago

How tf did they gain access to your room? Hipaa and all? I would sue the shit out of the hospital if not the hospital. Ok mayne not sue but I would have flipped my shit for sure.

1

u/Blenderx06 1d ago

I mean they knocked and asked but it was a bit of an ambush.

u/AC-burg 1d ago

Not cool not cool at all on their part.

u/Geetee52 3d ago

That’s not interesting… That is amazing by any measure!

u/HeartMurse 3d ago

My wife and I have the same Birthday! Makes it pretty fun to celebrate. Couldn’t imagine if our daughter shared the same birthday as us.

u/Small_Control9802 2d ago

u/imbeingsirius 3d ago

Nah they’ll feel so special because they’ll be the only whole family with the same birthday.

1

u/jm17lfc 3d ago

Both at different times, for sure. As small children, probably the former as they just want attention, then the latter as they grow up and understand how unique it is.

u/LexusBrian400 2d ago

I feel worse for them, Dad's dead.

Oh my god, and she’s pregnant again! How devastating for that young family 🥺

u/PaleontologistOk1176 3d ago

Nah. The kids will always have a special day. It’s the dad no one will ever be bothered about again.

u/LadyJR 3d ago

It depends on the family dynamic.

u/KazaamFan 2d ago

That’s crazy talk. This is awesome. The parents just have to focus celebration on them, and what parwnts wouldnt

u/Blenderx06 2d ago

My husband is a twin and his parents didn't even give them individual gifts, just 1 to share. They have 4 other siblings who all got their own stuff. Likewise when they gave each child a small sum of money when they came of age, they only gave one share for the twins to split. Some parents are really weird and suck about this stuff.

Our own twins celebrate their birthday on different days, their choice.

My twins choose to celebrate their birthdays on different days.

Easily amusing and satisfying.

u/rockinrob65 2d ago

That's cool you can celebrate in one day

u/nikeguy69 2d ago

Wow, that’s very unique

u/Rogue-Daddio-3 3d ago

Def planned for that

u/Tzilbalba 3d ago

Man I dunno if you know how pregnancies, fertilization and births work but most times you get a date and if you're lucky you are a few days to a week apart from that date.

Timing pregnancies and births is extremely difficult and luck based.

u/adjective_noun_23 3d ago

Birth is like a really bad poo, sometimes you just can't hold it in.

u/ozjack24 3d ago

And sometimes you can’t get it out
