Megan Price and Sameria Fernando each gave birth on Christmas Day.

For the Price family, little Primrose was right on time, while for Miss Fernando the arrival of Brodie Jo after Christmas lunch came as a surprise.

Mrs Price said she and husband Todd were planning a sibling for two-year-old Reggie when she worked out the due date.

"But it was too late - at the end of the month, I was pregnant," she said.

She was induced on Christmas Eve but Primrose waited until 12.35am.

"It was the best Christmas present, a healthy baby," Mr Price said.

For Miss Fernando, the first signs of Brodie's arrival came at 3pm and she was born by 8.15pm.

"She just came - she wasn't due for another six weeks," she said.

Brodie is a sister to brothers Dyl'Ontae, 6, and Ja'Kaibah, 2.

"She was my parents' first granddaughter," she said.
