Danielle and Nicole Fisher were in adjacent rooms at Virtua Hospital in Voorhees and the boys were born 13 minutes apart Tuesday night. The women had been born within 12 minutes of each other 23 years ago.

Nicole Fisher tells The Courier-Post of Cherry Hill it just has something to do with "that twin communication." They say they didn't plan to get pregnant at the same time, either.

The women are living together with their parents in Clementon.
