THREE Warrington sisters who have all fallen pregnant at the same time are celebrating the one-off chance of their babies being born back to back.

Rachel Eriksson from Penketh, Adele Malone, who now lives in Amsterdam and Carmel Peers from Bewsey, all found out they were pregnant last year and are due in May, July and August.

All three sisters, who went to St Gregory's Catholic High School, have decided not to find out what gender their baby is so they can all be surprised.

Carmel Peers, is the youngest sister and a district nurse from Bewsey.

She said: "Adele came home from Amsterdam at Christmas and told us they were expecting a baby.

"At that point my husband and I had already had a scan and knew that I was also pregnant so we kept quiet and were very excited for Adele. Rachel had previously told the family she was pregnant back in October.

"We decided to tell my parents the following day and they were really shocked at the double announcement.

"On Boxing Day I decided to announce it to my sisters. I wrapped up three baby grows which all said 'Born in 2019' and got my mum to give them to my sisters as presents.

"They couldn't believe it when they opened them and then looked at eachother, then looked at mine – it was brilliant.

"It may never happen again so we are all really excited and grateful to be able to share it with eachother."

Rachel, the eldest sister, is a teacher in Orford.

This will be Rachel's second child while Carmel and Adele are both expecting their first.

Rachel is due in May, Adele in July and Carmel in August, meaning all three cousins will be very close in age.

Carmel, 27, added: "It is nice that we are all due in age order too, I hope it works out that way.

"Adele and I have both had bad morning sickness and it has been good to be able to call her up and discuss it but Rachel hasn't had any.

"We compare bumps when Adele comes home and it's lovely to see my sisters changing and growing.

"Lots of people have been surprised at the one-off chance all three of us being pregnant at the same time and we have had some amazing reactions.

"Family get togethers won't be the same again once the three babies arrive, it will be chaos."
