Mom of identical twins reveals she took them to the police to get FINGERPRINTED

A mom of identical twins has revealed she had to take her babies to a police station to get them fingerprinted because she was unable to tell them apart. 

Sofi Rodriguez took to Twitter to joke about winning the 'mother of the year award' after she was forced to ask law enforcement for help with identifying her children.

The Argentina-based mom's confession garnered many responses, with other twins and parents flooding the comments section with similar stories of how they differentiated their kids.

Captioning the viral tweet, which garnered more than 15.2 million views, 'Tomorrow I have to go to the police to have my twins fingerprinted and tell me which one is which, I won the mother of the year award,' Sofi detailed how she struggled to tell her kids apart last week.

In another tweet Sofi wrote: 'In the photos they look different but it is because they come from different angles or the light... sets them apart, in person they are the same.'

Sofi revealed that the police officers were unable to identify the babies, so they thought they could use the vaccinations to determine which baby was which. 

But doctors seemed to have made a mistake and vaccinated one of the babies twice.

In a later update to the saga, Sofi finally revealed that the National Person's Registry had called her and they were now able to differentiate between the pair.

Another twin on Twitter was quick to share one of their own stories, revealing that he isn't entirely sure if his mom switched him and his brother.

He explained that as children they used to wear bracelets that identified them. 

One baby wore the jewelry on his right hand and the other child wore it on his left. 

However, when the bracelets fell off one day, the parents were stumped. 

They put the bracelets back on without knowing exactly who was who.

'We are almost 30 years old and maybe I am him and he is me,' the Twitter user said in the tweet.

Another mom Conz Preti told Insider that she too was a parent of identical twins and was 'terrified' of confusing them. 

She explained that she had initially wanted to pierce her children's ears and have them wear different colored earrings - which is a tradition in Argentina - but, since her babies were born in New York, the nurses were unable to pierce newborn ears.

She then opted to keep the 'Baby A' and 'Baby B' bracelet tags that the hospital gave them. 

But, when the babies grew faster than expected she was forced to cut them off. 

Then, she began using child-safe nail polish and painted 'one of the twins' toenails blue, and the other pink.'  

And while the nail polish helped, Conz also gave Sofi words of supports and reassured her that it would get easier. 

After spending time with her children, and as they got older, she began to notice small things that made them look different such as their hairlines and their ears. 

Allison LaCross, a midwife who has attended more than 1,000 births, recommended parents be intentional 'about the spaces babies spend time in,' she told Insider. 

She suggested always putting one baby on the left side of the bassinet and the other on the right. Allison also said who should chose specific sides for their strollers too. 

'As they grow and you get to know your children better, there will be subtle mannerisms, physical features, or personality differences that will help you distinguish one from the other,' she said.
