Pregnant twice at the same time- not twins?

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

I am not talking about twins. Todd and Julia Grovenburg found out after a routine scan that they are expecting two children.

So whats the big deal – people have twins all the time right – its not so uncommon. The difference in this case is this woman in Arkansas has conceived her second child after the conception of the first – two and a half weeks later in fact!

This is an extremely rare medical occurrence called superfetation with only 10 other cases known.

Wow – Good luck to the couple and their amazing babies!

What do YOU think – have you heard of any strange pregnancy stories?

How freaky is this? I read on www.lacrossetribune.com about a freaky coincidence today surrounding the birth of a baby.

The third child of Polly and Chuck Berendes arrived at 9:09 a.m. on 9/9/09, weighing 9 pounds, 9 ounces!

Welcome to the world Henry Michael Berendes!

In my family numbers seem to play a part too.  The majority of my relatives have their birthdays in the last week of the month and most are born within the first four months of the year.  Just about any “good” thing that occurs in our lives also happen on dates from the last week of the month and the really good ones (births, marriages, job promotion, wins etc) happen durning the first four months of the year too. As do all our families house moves!

Coincidence? What do YOU think?
