A young woman whose son is the same age as her brother has opened up about her family’s unusual structure.

24-year-old Keesha from Atherton, England, fell pregnant with her first child at the same time her mother, 44-year-old Melanie, became pregnant.

The mother and daughter had since gone through their pregnancies together and were by each other’s side as they attended prenatal appointments and went shopping for baby clothes. Keesha and Melanie also held a joint baby shower for the little uncle and nephew.

While Melanie gave birth to baby Grayson on January 15, her daughter delivered her grandson, Carter, just two weeks later on January 29.

Both boys are now already four years old and will start school together.

“I came down the stairs with a pregnancy test in my hand and there was my mum with a scan in her hand,” Keesha said as she recalled the shocking time she found out her mom was pregnant.

“I came down with a pregnancy test and mum was like ‘I can’t have anything for myself.’ It was bonkers but amazing to go through pregnancy and giving birth with her.”

The young mom continued: “She’d feel the baby move and then two weeks later I would. We just went through everything together. To get a little brother and have my own son at the same time was incredible. A little bit bonkers but just amazing.”

While the two boys are technically uncle and nephew, Keesha admitted they appear more like brothers than anything else.

“It’s been amazing seeing how well Carter and Grayson get along. They had every milestone so close together. It has been so lovely to see,” she added.
