REAL LIFE

Singular pink bow, mother and daughter share the emotion of childbirth on the same day

A story of those decidedly singular. We are in Naples, Italy. Mara Barone, a biologist, became a mother for the second time and, soon after, also a grandmother. Paola, his first child at the age of 15, gave birth to Giovanni.

A curious and joyful coincidence at the Cardarelli hospital in Naples. The mother, Mara Barone, gave birth to Futura, 3 kilos and 850 grams. Paola, the eldest child she had at the age of 15, gave birth to Giovanni, 3 kilos and 400 grams.

The two women have also lived together throughout the pregnancy because they live in the same house, in the family building in Melito of Naples.

Mom Mara
Mara is 35 years old, in 2002 when their daughter was born Paola she was 15. "As a young girl it was hard for her age, but I never thought about having an abortion. And given the results, it didn't go badly. This time I had more anxiety due to a greater awareness of motherhood," she said.

The peculiarity of this double birth is that both had a spontaneous pregnancy. "Two spontaneous births, without complications: it is the miracle of life", certifies the director of gynecology Claudio Santangelo, while the midwife Amelia Rescigno immortalizes the three generations in a hospital room with a photo.
