A mother and daughter from Cardiff have both given birth to baby girls in the same hospital on the same day - just three hours apart.

Sophie Jenkins, 19, and her mother Kay Henry, 34, from Pentwyn, experienced their nine-month pregnancies together and both gave birth at the University Hospital of Wales, Heath Hospital.

Sophie and her partner Adam welcomed Arya Kay Patricia at 8.56pm on Thursday, followed shortly by Kay and her husband Darren's baby girl Tiana Rose at 12.11am on Friday.

That means that Arya is actually a few hours older than her aunt, Tania. 

Sophie said: 'It been strange and special at the same time.

'This is mum's fourth child, so it was really good to have her giving me advice along the way.'

Kay's aunt Tracey Campbell, 51, said that they already have a big family and want it to continue growing.

'We're all over the moon, we have a big family already so it's lovely to add to it,' she said.

'I think there will be another birth this year, so the family is just getting bigger and bigger.'

The new babies have created a fifth living generation for the family and Tracey's father David, who is 84, has 28 grandchildren, 42 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
