this is from daily halacha, isn't that cool?!
294. If two boys were born in a year with two months of Adar, and one was born on the 29th of Adar I, and the other was born on the 1st of Adar II; if in the year of their Bar Mitzvah there is only one Adar, the younger child will be Bar Mitzvah four weeks before the older child.

My sister was born in a leap year. She is tes adar 2 & a girl in her class was later on in the month (chof something) in adar 1. Some years my sister would have her birthday first, but in a leap year, this girl had her birthday first.

It happened to my uncle. He had a friend who was older and couldn't stand it that my uncle was Bar Mitzvah before him! LOL

If it is a vaginal birth and it takes an hour or so for the 2nd twin to be delivered.

The first one is born before Shekia and the second one after, on Erev/Rosh Chodesh Adar I. (I believe it is)

It couldn't really happen - since the halacha only applies if the first one was born on the 29th of Adar I. Since Adar I always has 30 days, if he was born on the 30th of Adar I his birthday would fall out on the 30th of Shevat on years when there is no leap year. It's not very often that twins would be born a full day apart! (one on the 29th, the second on the 1st)
