BFFs find out they are pregnant at the same time, but were not expecting this to happen

There is nothing better than having a friend expecting at the same time, especially to help you through the tough times.

And this something that best friends Alex Hankins and Amanda Irvine got to experience.

The 22-year-olds, who have been through thick and thin, were delighted when they found out they were both pregnant at the same time.

And the best bit?

They were due mere weeks apart.

So, when Amanda went into labour first, family and friends were shocked when Alex was not long following her into Memorial Hospital in South Bend Indiana. 

Incredibly the BFFs ended up giving birth in rooms beside right next door to each other – following Amanda's 30-hour labour – and their babies were born just 20 MINUTES apart.

What a story to tell the kids when they are older.
