Freak me out!!! News 1


Woman falls pregnant twice in two weeks
A WOMAN was shocked to learn she had fallen pregnant again with a baby already in the womb.

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.”
