Woman conceives two weeks after first falling pregnant

A PREGNANT woman in the United States got shocking news when she went in for a routine ultrasound only to find out she is pregnant again.

Doctors think Arkansas couple Julia and Todd conceived baby girl Jillian first, and two-and-a-half weeks later conceived baby boy Hudson, Fox News reports.

Jillian and Hudson have different due dates, and this rare development is called superfetation – when a mother conceives another child while pregnant.

“It does really sound like this is a true case of different conception times for these children,” said Dr. Karen Boyle of the Greater Baltimore Medical Center.

“When the woman had her ultrasound initially, they saw one sack, one baby developing, and that baby had a certain gestational age; then they noticed a second heartbeat in a child that was much, much younger developmentally.”

Dr Boyle told ABC News she has only heard of 10 reported cases of superfetation.

I have never heard of this before.

WOW!!!!! That is so cool tho!

imagine having to give birth twice!!!! in two weeks!!!!

It has happened, I have heard of cases.

They did a story about this on greys (season 3), but that woman had 2 uterus.

I'm sure they'll make sure that the babies are born at the same time.

Wow imagine that. It's kind of funny coz I know alot of guys who have pregnant girlfriends and reckon it's good for the sex life coz ya don't need to be carefull coz "she's already pregnant so don't need to worry" but apparently ya do lol just incase you're one of those rare cases lol
