• Twins Jill Justiniani and Erin Cheplak gave birth to sons on May 5. 
  • Their sons were born in the same hospital with the same measurements, "Good Morning America" reported. 
  • "It made complete sense in a very odd way," Justiniani told the outlet.

Identical twins in California gave birth to newborn sons on the same day, in the same hospital. 

Jill Justiniani and Erin Cheplak told "Good Morning America"  that their sons, Oliver and Silas, were born hours apart on May 5 at Anaheim Kaiser Hospital. Justiniani gave birth to Oliver at 6:39 p.m., while Cheplak welcomed Silas at 11:31 p.m. 

The boys were also born with the exact same measurements — seven pounds, three ounces, and measuring 20 inches at birth — the outlet reported.

"The twinning continues," Cheplak, 30, told GMA. 

Cheplak explained to GMA that she married her husband in a small ceremony during the COVID-19 pandemic, but held a larger celebration in August 2021. Ahead of the celebration, Justiniani revealed that she was expecting her first child with her husband. 

One week later, Cheplak discovered she was pregnant during her honeymoon in the Maldives. 

"I took the pregnancy test and saw the two lines and it was very faint," Cheplak told GMA. "I was second-guessing, am I seeing what I'm seeing, and I FaceTimed Jill from the Maldives and she was like, 'Yes, that's it. That's it.'" 

The women told GMA that they often leaned on each other during their pregnancies, and their husbands joked that their sons might be born on the same day. Although Justiniani was scheduled for a C-section on May 5 and Cheplak was scheduled to be induced on May 15, Cheplak went into labor ten days early, GMA reported.

They recovered in rooms across from each other and were discharged at the same time, according to the outlet. 

"Part of me was thinking, 'What are the odds of this? I can't believe this is happening,' but there was also a sense of calm about it because it was like of course this is happening," Justiniani told GMA. "We've just been so close and so inseparable, it made complete sense in a very odd way." 

Justiniani and Cheplak did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
