A heart-melting moment was captured when two newborn sisters immediately ‘hugged’ each other after being born in the Brazilian municipality of Balneario Camboriu.
The twin-sisters, Liz and Beatriz, were attached to different placentas and are non-identical siblings, according to the hospital officials.
Their hug, believed to be the very first, melted many hearts in the delivery room.
“Liz hugged Beatriz like it was, ‘phew sis, you’re out here with me!’” said Luana Guimaraes, mother of the twins. She shared the moment on her Instagram page on Feb. 18 which went viral soon after it was uploaded. The photograph was captured by the childbirth photographer Bruna Costa. “It will be so special when they see this moment in the future,” said Costa.
Apart from the twins, Luana and Augusto are parents of three children.
“We planned to have our fourth child this year, but it came a little earlier, and it was a big surprise, twins!” said Luana. “We always dreamt of having a big family, and now we are blessed with five children.”
The babies were conceived at 37 weeks without any complications. The mother and the babies are doing well.
