Everything Eleven: Boy born at 11:11am on 11/11/2011 turns 11 on 11/11/2022

A young boy who was born on November 11, 2011 is marking his 11th birthday in 2022.

The boy identified as Daniel Saunders is from Bishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire, UK.

More interesting about Daniel’s birthday is that he was born at exactly 11:11 am on the dot.

Daniel has called 11 his special and lucky number and said he had looked forward to his 11th birthday.

His words:

”I’ve been looking forward to this birthday a lot,’ Daniel gushed. ‘It’s more exciting than any other birthday has ever been.”

Daniel born earlier than expected

According to Daniel’s parents, the boy was born earlier than expected because he was originally expected on November 17, 2011.

However, his mother, Charlotte, 41 was booked for a C-session on November 11 when doctors found he wasn’t properly positioned. There was a 6-hour delay before he was born at exactly 11:11am.

She said:

”He’d have been out earlier but he got stuck under my ribs and they took a while maneuvering him out,’ the mother explained. ‘It’s amazing that he was born with all those 11s.”

On his part, Daniel’s father, Jason said:

”The doctor said there was no chance he would be born at 11.11 but I think he was clinging on to his mum’s rib cage,’ he joked. A lot of people use their birthday for their PIN number – but he’s pretty stuck on that one!”
