Mrs Glover told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that her babies were "Blessed babies” as she conceived them 15 years after marriage when doctors had declared her infertile.

“I had some complications during this pregnancy so I was admitted here, at the maternity ward two weeks ago, and I have been under close monitoring, my due date was supposed to be the first week in January, but my water broke on Friday unexpectedly, and little did I know that my babies would be privileged to share a birthday with Jesus Christ, ” she said.

She thanked God for such a miracle saying, “I will name these girls Jesus Babies”.

Another happy mother Mrs Gifty Appiah said the doctors told her that her baby boy would be due by the first week of January 2024.

She said surprisingly, she went into labour at about 10 am Sunday morning and had her baby at 0800 hours on Christmas Day.

All the mothers were filled with so much joy as friends and family visited to congratulate them.

Some companies were also there to share gifts with the newborn babies and thier mothers.
