A mother and daughter pregnant at the same time each gave birth to baby boys - just two weeks apart.

Keesha Warburton, 24, found out she was pregnant at the same time she discovered her mom, Melanie Warburton, 44, was also pregnant.

Melanie came home to tell her daughter she was expecting, after her six-week scan, just as Keesha had taken a pregnancy test that revealed she was also pregnant.

The mom and daughter went to appointments together, shopped for baby clothes together and even shared a joint baby shower.

Melanie gave birth to her son, Grayson, four - her third child - via c-section on Jan. 15, 2019, at 4:08 p.m., weighing 6lbs 7oz, and Keesha was induced two weeks later on Jan. 29.

She had a baby boy, Carter, four, at 10:55 a.m., weighing 5lbs 4oz.

Although officially "uncle" and "nephew," the pair say their boys are like "brothers."

Two months later, Keesha found out she was pregnant again with twins and gave birth to them on Jan. 7, 2020, on her 21st birthday, and in the same room she was born.

Keesha, a trainee teaching assistant, from Atherton, Greater Manchester said: “I came down the stairs with a pregnancy test in my hand and there was my mom with a scan in her hand.

“It was bonkers but amazing to go through pregnancy and give birth with her.

“She reassured me every step of the way.

“Our two boys get along amazingly with each other.

“They bounce off each other."

Melanie, 44, a stay-at-home mom, from Atherton, Greater Manchester, said: “It was wonderful but because of the hormones we both had we did rip into each other a few times.”

Melanie had been trying for a baby with her husband William Warburton, 36, Keesha’s step dad, a health and safety specialist after getting her tubes untied and found out she was expecting in May 2018.

She came home to show her daughter the scan after her six week appointment in June 2018, but before she could, Keesha broke the news she was pregnant by showing her a pregnancy test.

Keesha said: “I came down with a pregnancy test and mom was like ‘I can’t have anything for myself.'"

The pair were excited for each other and supported each other through the pregnancy.

Keesha - who has been with partner, Callum Pearson, 23, a stay-at-home dad, for six years - said: “I had suffered a stillbirth previously, so it was amazing having my mom telling me everything was normal or ok.

“She’d feel the baby move and then two weeks later I would.

“We just went through everything together.”

The close mom and daughter spent the nine months shopping for baby essentials together and preparing for their arrival.

They even both found out they were expecting boys and had a baby shower together with friends and family.

On Jan. 14, 2019, Melanie was taken to Bolton Royal Hospital, Greater Manchester, to have a c-section after she suddenly went into labor three weeks early.

She was able to hold out until Jan. 15 and Keesha was able to hold her baby brother, Grayson, now four, after he was born.

Two weeks later, after being induced, Keesha gave birth to her son, Carter, and her mom was able to be a birthing partner.

Keesha said: “To get a little brother and have my own son at the same time was incredible.

“A little bit bonkers but just amazing.

"The two boys now get on amazingly and have even worn matching outfits for Halloween."

Two months after giving birth, Keesha, found out she was pregnant with twins and gave birth to Lottie and Louis, now three, in the same room she was born exactly 21 years ago.

Keesha said: “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.”

Keesha has been able to reach out to her mom Melanie every step of the way and said the pair are "best friends".

Grayson and Carter are now due to start school together in September.

Keesha said: "It will be lovely.

"It will be so lovely to see my little brother start school."
