that is so crazy..how can she possibly go into labor and deliver one baby without delivering the other one also??
 

I have several stories though I can't say for sure if they count as "crazy". My best friend has two daughters with her ex, then after meeting her current husband she knew she wanted at least one more child. They tried for about a year with no luck...then finally she gets pregnant but has a miscarriage 7 weeks in - three weeks later she's still not feeling right so she goes to the doctor and she's still pregnant. The doctor told her it was possible that she became pregnant with twins and lost one while continuing to carry the other - she now has a perfectly healthy 10 month old boy.

Another thing that happened to my aunt's friend, freaked me out because I plan to have more kids someday... Crystal and her boyfriend had been trying to conceive for about six months when she got pregnant. She went in for her 20 week check up and the doctor was worried about the baby's size. They did an ultrasound and discovered the baby stopped developing after 12 weeks because the cord had a hole in it. They had to enduce her and deliver the baby that day. A year later, however, Crystal and her boyfriend had a little boy.

Another story involves my second child, Brianna. My ex-husband and I were told that I was due February 2, 2006. A c-section was planned for January 26, 2006 - mostly because it's my ex-husband's birthday. During the pregnancy I was in and out of the hospital because of abnormal tests, Brianna had an arrythmia and she wasn't developing as quickly as she was supposed to be. Finally on January 26th they get me set for delivery and I nearly passed out when I saw all the extra equipment set up in case there was something wrong with her when she was born. I even remember telling me mom how different this pregnancy was compared to my first - Jenna was perfect, the pregnancy was perfect (no sickness, no unusual cramping or pain, almost no fatigue, normal check ups, normal development) and no issues during delivery. I still believe Brianna has an angel watching over her - she was born weighing just over 6 lbs which is only unusual because she was still considered to be full term. The arrythmia disappeared within minutes, her breathing was normal and all her tests came back later that day to be normal. Today Brianna is nearly four years old and still perfectly healthy, though her father worries about her weight - the doctor said Brianna is perfect but petite. I think her father is just concerned that right now Brianna is a petite blonde with long legs and that someday day she's gonna be a teen.
 

that is the craziest thing i've ever heard. question: how does she only give birth to one and not both? if the womb is contracting, wouldn't both come out?

 

Well, it's not like it'd be all that dangerous to deliver the second two weeks early. Lots of babies have survived being born earlier than that......... so what's the concern?

 

Weird.  maybe the siblings will bond while still in the womb?

 

Wow, I never would have even thought that could happen. 
 

 

Interesting - if *I* were the guy I'd be happy, but also worried - Like Mess conjectured, I assume she would nto be allowed a double labor, meaning that possibly one of the babies would be born prematurely....although, a matter of weeks may not make that much difference....
 

I would still consider them fraternal twins.  Even up to one month difference there's slim chances that one baby would be delivered and the other one have to wait to be delivered.  It's interesting but I bet it happens more often than people realize.  My girls are identical.  They were from the same egg & sperm that split into two 2-3 days after implantation (they shared a placenta, had their own sac).  Twins just means that you're pregnant with two babies at the same time and this woman obviously is.  
 

Actually that's the second time I've heard of that happening.

There was another woman not all that long ago who was on birth control and used condoms with a man and got pregnant. Then a few weeks later she become pregnant again still on birth control and using condoms. After she figured out she was pregnant, the woman went in for an ultrasound and it showed that one fetus was about 3 weeks older than the other

So not only did she get pregnant when she was already pregnant... She was on birth control and used condoms when she got pregnant both times

 

Jeez, next they will tell us you can get pregnant from the toilet seat!
 

wow thats crazy but i believe it! thanks for the info
 

haha i literally just watched the video on that before i looked at your profile and saw this blog, it is crazy
 

A friend just told me theres a couple expecting their 19th child in 2010. I think they live in Arkansas. All their kids names start with a "J". Their family name is Dugger. They have their own Reality TV Show??? 

19 kids. OMG.
 

thats when they have to do cesarians both times to ensure the other baby can come to full term and they have to pull the first one out before she goes into labor to protect the younger one. technically she could have a vbac (vaginal birth after c-section) with the second child but because theyre so close to age she may not heal enough in time (even after a year it could be risky) so theyd probably just do the c-section the second time around anyways.
