Oh baby! Wakefield mum-to-be set to give birth to her street's third set of twins

Jordén Nestor, 21, who lives on Headlands Drive is set to welcome a boy and girl in the new year with her partner, Benjamin Cartwright.

Ten-year-olds Lacy and Layla-May were the first twins to be born to Phil and Kelly Ward, followed by two-year-olds Jessica and Lucy to Claire and Luke Bell.

Claire and Luke also have another daughter, 10-year-old Emma.

A fourth set of twins, Madeline and Reuben, were born to a neighbour’s son.

Robin Kimmings, who was brought up on the street and has since moved away, and his partner, Meg Lloyd-Clarke, had their twins in March.

Jordén’s due date is on January 17, her 22nd birthday, but she expects they might arrive a bit sooner, potentially around Christmas, as according to the NHS, around six in ten twins are born before 37 weeks.

Jordén said: “It was a bit of a shock to find out that we are having twins.

"I’ve got twins in my family, but I didn’t think I would have some.

"I’m really excited to have twins but it is scary.

"We don’t know what is going to come with two babies, I think it might be easier with one, but we will be able to do it all in one go with twins.”

Her mum, Donna Nestor, added: “We have been here for over seven years and we are the third family in the street to have twins."

The Twins Trust said that in the UK about one in every 65 pregnancies results in a multiple birth and there has been an upward trend in the numbers over the last 20 years.
