بريطانية تلد توأمين بلوني العاج والأبنوس


التوأمان ليو وهوب

لندن الرياض

    لا تواجه أم بريطانية أي مشكلة في تمييز توأميها إذ أن احدهما ولد بلون اسمر والآخر ابيض.

وكانت الدهشة قد تملكت شيرلي ويلز( 21 عاما)، التي ولدت بعملية قيصرية، عندما تسلمت الطفلين من يد الممرضة .ويعود السبب إلى انه بينما كان الطفل ليو يشبه والدته ، وهي من غرينادا، ببشرته السمراء وعينيه العسليتين وشعره الكثيف ، كانت ابنتها هوب صورة طبق الأصل من أبيها ، بلونها الأبيض وعينيها الزرقاوين وشعرها الخفيف المتفرق.

وخرج ليو إلى الحياة أولا بوزن بلغ 5 ارطال و14 أوقية ثم تبعته هوب بوزن بلغ 6 أرطال و3 أوقيات. وتمت الولادة بمستشفى ديويسبيري بغربي يوركشاير.

وتقول شيرلي:"كنت اعلم انني حامل بتوأمين وان احدهما ذكر والآخر أنثى ولكنني ما كنت اصدق عندما أخبرتني الممرضة بعد ولادتهما بان لونيهما مختلفان. وطوال فترة الحمل كنت أمازح صديقاتي حول الحمل بطفلين احدهما ابيض والآخر اسود وإنني قد اسميهما "أبنوس" و"عاج". ولكن بعد ولادتهما رأيت أن من السخف تسميتهما بهذين الاسمين."

وتعود جذور شيرلي إلى أبوين من غرينادا في حين أن زوجها ابيض اللون. ويقول متحدث باسم مؤسسة الولادات المتعددة ببريطانيا موضحا حالة التوأمين ليو وهوب، البالغ عمرهما 4 أشهر الآن، إن حيوانين منويين منفصلين خصبا بويضتين منفصلتين وترتب على ذلك أن اختلفت المورثة التي تحدد لون الجلد ، ما أدى إلى اختلاف لوني التوأمين.

 


ليو ورث لون والدته بينما اخذت هوب لون ابيها

I thought about calling them Ebony and Ivory: Mother delighted after having black and white twins

A mother has no problem telling her newborn twins apart - because  one was born black and the other white.

Shirley Wales, 21, who gave birth by caesarean section, was astonished when the midwife handed her her children.

For while son Leo resembled his Grenadian mother, with dark skin, brown eyes and thick hair, her daughter Hope was the image of her father, with light skin, blue eyes and fair sparse hair.

Leo was born first weighing 5lb 14oz closely followed by his sister Hope at 6lb  3oz at Dewsbury District Hospital, West Yorkshire.

Shirley said: 'I knew I was having twins, and I knew one was a boy and one was a girl, but I couldn't believe it when the midwife told me they had different skin tones after I'd given birth to them.

'Throughout the pregnancy I'd joked about the babies being black and white, I  even said to my friends that if one was black and one was white I'd call them Ebony and Ivory. When they were born though, I realised it would be cruel to actually call them that.

'I immediately noticed that Hope was completely white and although they didn't  look that different when they were first born, because they both had a bit of  jaundice, I could tell Leo's skin was going to get darker and Hope's was going to stay white.'

Shirley texted all her friends with the surprising news.

Shirley, 21, is from Grenadian descent. While Leo takes after her, daughter Hope looks like her father

She said: 'I had about 100 visitors in the first couple of days because people wouldn't  believe me until they had seen it for themselves.'

Shirley's parents are both Grenadian while the twins' father, who she is no longer in a relationship with, is white. She discovered she was pregnant just nine days after her babies were conceived.

Shirley said her children were noticeably different despite both having jaundice

'I knew I was pregnant, I just had a feeling something wasn't right. My birth dad is a twin so obviously I realised I could be having twins but it wasn't until the 20-week scan that the midwife confirmed it.

'I was over the moon when I found out, I wanted to have one boy and one girl,  so it was perfect,' the hairdresser from Batley, West Yorkshire said.

Now 14 weeks old, little Leo and Hope have settled into their own routine and are developing their individual personalities.

Shirley said: 'They're my little miracles. They are so different, they're absolutely worlds apart.

'I call them Leo the Lion and Happy Hope, Leo gets angry when he isn't getting  attention because his sister seems to get a bit more attention from people,  whereas Hope is always smiling at everybody all the time.

'If I didn't have Leo with me, people would think Hope was my niece, but that doesn't bother me really. I love telling people that she is actually my baby.

'People just need to be open-minded, it can happen. I'm thrilled about it.'

A spokesperson for the Multiple Births Foundation said: 'Two separate eggs were fertilised by two separate sperm.

'The genes that go into defining skin colour will be different which results in  a combination of genes.
