Strange Facts

Pregnant twice on the same month!

Was reading an article on one of the websites and i came across an interesting fact that a women can actually conceive twice in the same month. Unbelievable but true and it only happens once in a million chances. The summarised article goes like this:

One day, when the husband is back from work, his wife said to him "Honey, Doctor said I'm pregnant!". The husband jumps with joy, went back to work, feeling excited and energetic. Two weeks later, when he reached home after work as usual, his wife said "Honey, I've another good news, I'm pregnant again!". Now the husband is really confused. Nothing wrong with her first pregnancy, the fetus is still growing while she got pregnant again few weeks later. Impossible? It turns out women can conceive again even if they're already pregnant, but the odds are a million to one! Superfetation occurs when eggs from two different menstrual cycles are released and fertilised separately.

Such is the case with Amelia Spence when she went on producing eggs despite having already conceived Lia. She got pregnant again with Ame three weeks later and both babies grew side by side. Shocked medics at Paisley's Royal Alexandra Hospital only discovered the existence of the non-twins at the 12th week scan. The scan images show Lia taking on the distinctive shape of a baby with clearly defined features and limbs while Ame appeared as a tiny spot on the screen.
