The longest documented time interval between the birth of twins is 87 days. This unusual case occurred in 2012 when a woman in Ireland gave birth to one twin prematurely, and the second twin was delivered nearly three months later. Such extended intervals are extremely rare and typically involve medical intervention to prolong the pregnancy of the second twin.
