As nativity stories go, it could hardly be more modern, more brave or more touching. Devoted couple Emily Patrick and Kerry Osborn are pregnant with each other’s babies, and will give birth within weeks of each other.
In a pioneering case, the first of its kind known in Britain, the women swapped embryos – both fertilised by the same sperm donor – during IVF treatment.
Now Emily, 38, a creative producer, will give birth to a son who is biologically Kerry’s at New Year. School teacher Kerry, 35, will follow in February, giving birth to a little boy grown from Emily’s egg.
It means that, uniquely, both women are simultaneously pregnant and will go on to raise two sons – where one boy carries the DNA of one mother after being birthed by the other, and vice versa for his sibling.
‘We wanted a family in which we both felt deeply physically and emotionally connected to each other’s babies,’ says Emily. ‘There wasn’t a blueprint for this but it made sense to us.
'With a straight couple both parents share in the creation of their child. We can’t do that. But we can be equal mothers to both sons. They’ll have the same father and we will be their mothers in different but equally profound and loving ways.
‘Beforehand we wondered if we’d ever think about the fact that the baby we are carrying is not our own biological child. But it’s such a physical and emotional experience feeling a child grow inside you, that there’s no way in which it’s not “yours”.’
Kerry continues: ‘It’s a privilege to be pregnant with Emily’s baby. There was no big conversation, it just felt natural to us, doing this amazing thing with and for the person you love most.

I thought all the lesbos wanted abortions. They always say having babies isn’t healthy.

Isn’t that special.
Disgusting. It’s all about them not the distorted life they are creating for two innocent children.
This is going to be a fun one for the judge to work out.
Evil days..........................
Deranged.
A Christmas nut story.
Poor kids.
Our society has lost the meanings of "should" and "ought" and become a hyper-individualist culture that only cares about what feels good for me right now. Damn the future repercussions to individuals and society; full speed ahead.
This all ends when children are allowed to sue their incubators for damages.
Well, they can both say they have the same “Uncle Daddy” and it will be accurate.

Brave and touching? Not in the least.
Kool! They killed a dozen of each others babies! How Romantic.
