CHICAGO, ILL. -- This story is from CNN and The Chicago Tribune.

Here's something you don't hear often ... a mother and daughter giving birth on the same day and in the same place!

Here's your Facebook Story of the day.

35-year-old Jessica Rotter and her 17-year-old daughter, Briana, had their sons just six hours apart in a Chicago-area hospital.

The Chicago Tribune says the mother was in the hospital room with her daughter helping her, when she started feeling her own contractions.

"They're going to be really close, and, it's nice that they're going to have somebody to be with all the time." "She told me a week later that 'I'm pregnant too, and I'm like 'Great! This is going to be a fun journey.'" "Its hard, but...uh, I am very proud of her."

The babies were even delivered by the same doctor.

That physician said this is the first time he has seen anything like this in his 20 years delivering babies.
