Pregnant woman pregnant again
There is a huge buzz about a pregnant woman being pregnant again!!!
No and it’s not a typo…and no, she’s not having twins. When doctors examined Julia Grovenburg’s growing baby girl Jillian, they also discovered another, smaller baby – Jillian’s younger brother – growing right next to her!
The official name for this occurrence is superfetation, pregnant woman pregnant again or conceiving while pregnant. In fact, Boyle says, “There is no prevalence or incidence in the literature. I could only find about 10 reported cases.”
The interesting fact is also that if both children would be actually born on their due dates is that one would be born in 2009 and the other one in 2010.
