A woman got pregnant while already pregnant again

[Augusta]

Rebecca Roberts who got pregnant while already pregnant has shared her story to show that one can conceive again while already months gone, meaning you’re carrying two separate pregnancies at once.

The proper term for it is superfetation. in 2020, 39-year-old Rebecca Roberts and her partner Rhys Weaver, 43, were looking at the ultrasound of their baby boy Noah, who they had conceived 12 weeks earlier, only to find he had company. While Rebecca had been pregnant with him, she’d fallen pregnant with their little girl Rosalie. The two babies were conceived about three weeks apart.

Doctors told Rebecca they believed it to be a case of superfetation, and she couldn’t believe how unique her pregnancy was.

That was a unique pregnancy but at least she was not in critical condition when she delivered the babies in weeks apart. That is a phenomenon. How could a pregnant got pregnant again while she is still pregnant.

It's indeed really unique but thank God there was no issue or complications during childbirth, that would have been scary.

My understanding is that woman was having twins and the other one was on her development. I asked my nurse sister in law she said it will never happen because a woman has only one placenta unless twins they could be together in one placenta. There was a misunderstanding of the news.

Yes there was no report on the mother path. Just that the second baby had to be in nursery to grow better before going home

I think they are twins, the other one was developed late. Its embryo was not as active as the other one.
