 June 20 is the busiest day of the year for mum Emma Smith, as all three of her children share the birthdate – despite being born in different years. Emma, 42, was initially told she may never fall pregnant, but has beaten 'crazy odds' of 133,000 to one by having each of her babies on the exact same day. Yet she says she felt she'd 'completed a miracle' when her third son Arley Jay was born on June 20 this year, just like brothers, Alfie James, seven, and Jesse Joe, four. The wedding planner from Warrington suffers from endometritis, a lifelong condition affecting the womb's lining that can tragically lead to the loss of babies during pregnancy. After being told she'd need to start a family early due to possible future complications, Emma says she felt like 'Bridget Jones' as friends gave birth around her while she struggled to con. So she was amazed when she welcomed Alfie James with her partner Dave Mycock, 39, in 2016. The couple's shock then turned to disbelief after their two younger sons came into the world on the same day in subsequent years. Emma was previously told she may not be able to have children (Picture: Emma Smith/SWNS) Amazingly, her boys are all 'rainbow babies' – a term given to a child born immediately after a miscarriage – which she says makes them even more 'remarkable'. Emma said: 'If you were to put a bet on a horse with those odds, you'd never think it would come in as a winner, but we certainly have – three times. 'It's a complete miracle, it's magical, and we just feel completely and utterly blessed. Whether someone's looking down on us, or however you want to equate it, all three boys are a miracle in their own right.' The mum hopes the trio will go out to celebrate the day together when they're older, looking back on the incredible event. The odds of all three kids having the same birthday were 133,000/1 (Picture: William L){kind=link}
