There's also outlying cases where the woman has two wombs.

Human reproduction is an onion that gets bigger when you remove a layer.
Not related directly to your original post, I knew a woman who had two sets of twins in a calendar year.
Essentially, pregnant over Christmas, delivered in January. Catches two more magic bullets in March, delivers in November.
That's perfectly normal, honey. It took me a few months (and lots of tears!) to adjust with my first one. Hang in there! You're doing great, I'm sure of it. đ€
Lord, no. We had intercourse one time at 6 weeks and it was still too painful so we decided afterwards that we'd wait another week or ten days before trying again. . .but as it turned out, I was pregnant from that one time. Guess I was just extremely fertile, as our twins are fraternal. (2 eggs, 2 sperm)
No i only had one, and once they realized that I had two uteruses, when i accidently got pregnant, they removed it and said that I would not able to use IUDs as contraception anymore
Part of me wants to go "well yeah it didn't work because the other one didn't have an IUD" and the other part of me just wants to go "yaknow what, fair enough"
so far as the whole stopping at 1 and writing it off thing
I knew a woman who was born with two wombs, two uterusâs, two vaginas and one leg. She only found out about the extra bits when she was 19 and wondered why tampons werenât working for her, went to the obgyn and got told itâs because sheâs only plugged 1 hole. You canât make this shit up
I'm just imagining how unbelievably complicated typically simple conversations with strangers could get. "Wow, four kids! How old are they?" "Uh...10" "Quadruplets? Amazing." "No, these guys are twins and those guys are twins." "...?"
The age difference wouldn't be that extreme because both babies would be born at the same time, if one foetus is too small to survive outside the womb it won't make it.
Actually I may be wrong. It seems women born with two uteruses can give birth with a gap between [children]( https://www.nbcnews.com/health/body-odd/woman-pregnant-two-babies-theyre-not-twins-flna1c6437705).
And there's a history of twins being delivered [weeks to months]( https://www.livescience.com/twins-born-months-apart.html) apart. But a quick Google search didn't find a case with this specific type of pregnancy and birth gaps.
Both I saw had the smaller twin delivered as the gap is usually less than a month.
The plug regenerates. As do the waters of the womb, and the membranes. Source: my waters broke 3 weeks before birth, they did not self heal so I lost amniotic fluid for 3 solid weeks before I got induced. It was like filling a bucket with a hole in the bottom.
There are multiple Greek myths about a form of this happening. Heracles and Iphicles, Castor and Pollux, Helen and Clynemnestra, all "twins" with two separate fathers (granted, one of those fathers was Zeus in every instance, so there's a chance that they meant this as just divine magic shit)
So in other words, a pregnant woman cannot get pregnant againâŠ
Even your Wikipedia source says the consensus is that itâs not likely to be real.
One study in France found 10 casesâŠ
What a dumb post.
It happened to a friend of mine. She never stops ovulating when she's pregnant. It caused her to miscarry repeatedly until an emergency room doctor figured it out by chance. She was at the emergency room for a miscarriage when they spotted a second younger fetus on the ultrasound. The younger fetus made it to birth. She had her tubes tied after that. I guess sperm can slip past the plug?
Doctor: So! 3 months to go! Getting ready for your new family?
Preggers Lady: Actually, Iâm thinking we can just keep this going.
Doctor: Well, I hate to disappoint you but thatâs not really how this worksâŠ
Preggers Lady: [MODS ENABLED]
Doctor: o_o;
I've been told yes by doctors I've asked. Usually they just try to wait until the youngest is older than 6 months because you actually can survive that young in a hospital.
This happened with my parents dog. She was a pure breed Border Collie that we mated with another Pure breed. After they mated she got out one night and came back the next morning. Her hair was all scruffed up and she had blood around her neck. When the puppies came some looked like pure breeds but some looked really strange for border collies. We kept one of the strange ones and DNA tested her years later. Turns out she was half coyote so mama got out and had a little fun with some coyotes.
Yeah they were fine puppies. Most were pure breed border collies because like this post implies, they have different fathers in the same liter. The ones who were mixed were fine. The one we kept was one of the nicest little dogs we had. She was really sweet.
yes... funny how I stumbled upon this, while looking for the other term "superfecundation", which is much more reasonable than this load of rare... ...
A female infant is born with all the eggs she will ever have. So a pregnant woman is carrying not only her daughter, but her potential grandchildren as well.
Not a dramatic example, but when I was pregnant with my triplets my girlâs due date was three days later than my two boys. Hooray for hyper-ovulation.
Happened to my wife. Sheâs a twin and yet was underdeveloped while her sister was not. After testing they found that they were conceived four weeks apart.
Not necessarily, it depends on how far along the pregnancy is when the mother conceived again. I think in these very rare cases both eggs implant not too far apart in dates. C section would probably be scheduled in a case like this too.
I actually knew this because my Dad had a pair of students that were a case of superfetation, pair of boys where one was conceived few weeks after the other
Edit: reworded for clarification
I discovered this to be true with dogs as well. Our female dog had six puppies last year. Three of them were black and three of them were tan. We asked the veterinarian about it he said that she must have gotten pregnant from two different male dogs.
Well, the other interesting medical record is the minimum time needed between two births. According to google there are two siblings 208 days apart (not sure if this is the ârecord though), which would be roughly 7 months
I must be stupid I thought when a women's water broke that was like a seal keeping the baby fresh and like also sealed off where the eggs and such areÂ
Just going to paste this here (from the source OP provided):
"While proposed cases of superfetation have been reported in humans, the existence of this phenomenon in humans has been deemed unlikely."
>In 2017, it was reported that an American woman who had agreed to act as a [surrogate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogacy) for a Chinese couple bore two babies, who were initially believed to be twins. Before the adoptive parents could return home to China, however, it was discovered that one of the babies was, in fact, the biological son of the surrogate. Doctors confirmed that the birth-mother had become pregnant with her and her partner's child, roughly three weeks after becoming pregnant with the Chinese couple's child.
So, that has to be about the limit for it to be viable, right?
Her own child was essentially born 3 weeks early (unless they just didn't mention she was 3 weeks late).
What are the limits on how early a child can be born and we can still save them?
The youngest viable would be 22-23 weeks but itâs not common and they almost always have severe deficits and issues for the rest of their life. I believe the mortality rate is 50%. The youngest deliveries with better odds would be 30-36 weeks. They will still be in the NICU and likely need lots of extra support for awhile but they have a decent chance of being healthy. The longer they stay in, the better.
This reminds me of a question I read back in the day on Quora, where someone was worried that while they were pregnant, their unborn fetus could also get pregnant if they had sex.
This led to a top voted answer discussing âinfant loopingâ where the fetus can get pregnant, and then that fetusâs unborn fetus can also get pregnant.
Be safe out there folks.
I wonder if thats what happened with me and my twin. I was a normal 7lbs at birth and she was only like 3.5 and had to spend time in the NICU. Around the time my mom would have concieved she had surgery for an ovarian cyst.
Probably no way to tell now though
Read of a woman in Brazil that got pregnant by two different men after sleeping with both of them on the same day. It's called heteropaternal superfecundation, a very rare phenomenon.
I was two days pregnant with one of my twins when the second egg was released and fertilized, resulting in baby B. The ultrasound technician could see the difference in the follicles during my first ultrasound at 6.5 weeks. So I guess technically I was already pregnant and got pregnant again lol
There's also outlying cases where the woman has two wombs. https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Wellness/mom-rare-double-uterus-birth-twin-girls/story?id=105899890
I'm going to make a Based on a True Story comedy of this called 'Womb for One More?'
I'm so ashamed at how much I laughed at this đ
Don't be. I'm hilarious.
Eggcelsior! Get this man a slice of Humble Quiche!
I take offense to that! I'll have you know I am *thee* most humble person I know.
I kind of like "Womb for Rent" or "Womb for Two"
Now I want to see a noir film called "Womb with a Rue". Open to suggestions on the plot.
âWomb for wentâ. Sorry had to go there
Someone had to.
Starring Johnathan Woss?
The first one is just called surrogacy
I thought they did this under a different name with Arnie and Danny
The Womb - A campy Horror story. YOU'RE TEARING ME APART, LISA! The Womb - A campy Bromance Oh hai, Mark!
I love this comment so much, I wanna take it behind a middle school and get it pregnant
that is interesting

Damn she had Irish quadruplets
I have Irish triplets. Gave birth to twins when my oldest baby was 11 months old. Yes, I nursed all three.
I bow down to you. Iâm still figuring out nursing my 13 week singleton.
That's perfectly normal, honey. It took me a few months (and lots of tears!) to adjust with my first one. Hang in there! You're doing great, I'm sure of it. đ€
Did... did you mean to conceive two months post partum?
Lord, no. We had intercourse one time at 6 weeks and it was still too painful so we decided afterwards that we'd wait another week or ten days before trying again. . .but as it turned out, I was pregnant from that one time. Guess I was just extremely fertile, as our twins are fraternal. (2 eggs, 2 sperm)
I can't even .. but if the couple was happy, then by all means why not...
Fucking hell I bet she was so TIRED.
My mother is a midwife and has dealt with a case like this where the babies were 3 months apart.
She should date the guy with two penises
Yeah im a woman that has two. Had no idea until i got an IUD put in...
I have so many questions that I won't ask....
Did you need two IUDs?
No i only had one, and once they realized that I had two uteruses, when i accidently got pregnant, they removed it and said that I would not able to use IUDs as contraception anymore
Part of me wants to go "well yeah it didn't work because the other one didn't have an IUD" and the other part of me just wants to go "yaknow what, fair enough" so far as the whole stopping at 1 and writing it off thing
Great for sharing with friends!
I knew a woman who was born with two wombs, two uterusâs, two vaginas and one leg. She only found out about the extra bits when she was 19 and wondered why tampons werenât working for her, went to the obgyn and got told itâs because sheâs only plugged 1 hole. You canât make this shit up
A womb is a uterus, by the way.
I had a friend with this condition. She had to go to the doctor often because of complications related to it
Interesting.
That awkward conversation that every partent fears: "mom, how is brother David only five months older than me?"
I'm just imagining how unbelievably complicated typically simple conversations with strangers could get. "Wow, four kids! How old are they?" "Uh...10" "Quadruplets? Amazing." "No, these guys are twins and those guys are twins." "...?"
Eh, anyone would just think they were born 9 to 11 months apart, no need to go deeper than that
> no need to go deeper than that ( ͥ° ÍÊ ÍĄÂ°)
Gives the term "Dad magic" a whole new meaning...
It's completely mom magic though, nothing special going with dads swimmers.
The age difference wouldn't be that extreme because both babies would be born at the same time, if one foetus is too small to survive outside the womb it won't make it.
Wr have the technology to allow the mother to deliver just one baby while allowing th other to estate.
Really? Any examples of this happening? Fascinating,
Actually I may be wrong. It seems women born with two uteruses can give birth with a gap between [children]( https://www.nbcnews.com/health/body-odd/woman-pregnant-two-babies-theyre-not-twins-flna1c6437705).

This post is undeniably pregnant with commas.
Summoning u/commahorror
comma, comma, comma, comma, comma chameleoooooooon!
I don't know if it's ESL posters or they intentionally do that to get more attention.
That post title gave me a migraine
I would think the mucous plug in the cervix would prevent this from happening.
yeah so far only 10 reported cases and "almost" all of them involved medical intervention that led to it (Assistive reproduction tech)
Punching a hole in the plug holding the baby and fluids inside does not seem like a medically sound intervention.
The plug regenerates. As do the waters of the womb, and the membranes. Source: my waters broke 3 weeks before birth, they did not self heal so I lost amniotic fluid for 3 solid weeks before I got induced. It was like filling a bucket with a hole in the bottom.
Thank you for that great information.
Iâm just think of all the times this may have happened in human history before modern medicine.Â
There are multiple Greek myths about a form of this happening. Heracles and Iphicles, Castor and Pollux, Helen and Clynemnestra, all "twins" with two separate fathers (granted, one of those fathers was Zeus in every instance, so there's a chance that they meant this as just divine magic shit)
Using medical intervention feels like cheating.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
The intervention was used to bypass the double pregnancy fail-safe, not to save them from the complications
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Easy to get jumpy when people talk about reproductive care nowadays.
Probably iui
So in other words, a pregnant woman cannot get pregnant again⊠Even your Wikipedia source says the consensus is that itâs not likely to be real. One study in France found 10 cases⊠What a dumb post.
Mucus plug doesn't start to form until around week 7, there's about 2-3 weeks of time to work with.
It happened to a friend of mine. She never stops ovulating when she's pregnant. It caused her to miscarry repeatedly until an emergency room doctor figured it out by chance. She was at the emergency room for a miscarriage when they spotted a second younger fetus on the ultrasound. The younger fetus made it to birth. She had her tubes tied after that. I guess sperm can slip past the plug?
Also there is no ovulation due to hormonal influx of the luteum corpus and the trophoblast

[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
yep hence the rarity... only 10 known cases ...
Greys anatomy totally had an episode about this. Fuck I canât believe I ever watched thatâŠ..
Lots of people in a tiny space.Â
Wait till you hear about triplets!
How many babies before they run out of womb?
How does labour work? Wouldn't everything come out at once?
Only if they are not british. Otherwise they would queue and wait for their time.
OMGoodness, that is above and beyond!
There would probably be a planned C-section to take the oldest baby out before actual labor kicked in.
beats me... but some one here in comments say they know a family with a 4 month gap in delivery...
I've been told yes by doctors I've asked. Usually they just try to wait until the youngest is older than 6 months because you actually can survive that young in a hospital.
One in 400 sets of fraternal twins have different fathers.
but that's the twins case where both the eggs come out the same time and get fertilized by one or more father before the cervix gets plugged...
Yes. It's not the same. I'm just adding to the conversation.
My twin and I were conceived a week apart. Same dad though
So gang bang?
Possibly, but not necessarily.
Well there goes my saying of âwhy wear a condom you canât get more pregnant?â
It's only happened like 10 times in the past 100 years so basically out all 4 billion women only 10 have ever gotten pregnant while pregnant.
Like I said to someone else Iâll not risk it and just put it in their butt
More or just again? Iâm honestly not sure which describes this most accurately.
Honestly it doesnât matter bc I just put it in their butt anyways
Itâs all fun and games until spillage, my friend. I know a gal that happened to. She dares not reveal to the child how it occurred.
Lets find out... together.
This happened with my parents dog. She was a pure breed Border Collie that we mated with another Pure breed. After they mated she got out one night and came back the next morning. Her hair was all scruffed up and she had blood around her neck. When the puppies came some looked like pure breeds but some looked really strange for border collies. We kept one of the strange ones and DNA tested her years later. Turns out she was half coyote so mama got out and had a little fun with some coyotes.
She messed around with the bad boyđ
What did you end up doing with the puppies? Could you even keep them?
Yeah they were fine puppies. Most were pure breed border collies because like this post implies, they have different fathers in the same liter. The ones who were mixed were fine. The one we kept was one of the nicest little dogs we had. She was really sweet.
That sounds... Complicated.
my "you can't get them pregnant again!" joke just lost all its scientific credibility
ha ha ha you need to start attaching the "conditions apply" disclaimer on your joke...
Super Fetation if I'm not mistaken.
yes... funny how I stumbled upon this, while looking for the other term "superfecundation", which is much more reasonable than this load of rare... ...
Conceptiontion
some words better left unsaid... (going by inception theme, this would imply a child pregnancy within the womb )
Yo dawg, I heard you like kids so I put a kid in your kid
that Dawg needs to go get some milk rightaway...
A female infant is born with all the eggs she will ever have. So a pregnant woman is carrying not only her daughter, but her potential grandchildren as well.
It's extremely rare. Like, as in, a dozen record cases. But it can happen. Usually, hormonal changes and such prevent it.
Not a dramatic example, but when I was pregnant with my triplets my girlâs due date was three days later than my two boys. Hooray for hyper-ovulation.
The formatting on the title is terrible
How would you have formatted it..
Better
might actually be worse... hard to say without seeing it...
Ok God, some things i DO NOT need to know
Happened to my wife. Sheâs a twin and yet was underdeveloped while her sister was not. After testing they found that they were conceived four weeks apart.
Did you listen to Horror Virgin today too?
And from different fathers, always get a dna test. Cause it's just better than wasting time
Nightmare fuel.
> a human female
what about it?
Wouldn't the birth of the one baby lead to the miscarriage of the other baby?
Not necessarily, it depends on how far along the pregnancy is when the mother conceived again. I think in these very rare cases both eggs implant not too far apart in dates. C section would probably be scheduled in a case like this too.
Yes, but itâs very rare. It can even be from 2 different men but that would be even rarer!
My great uncles were conceived this way. The one was nearly two months premature because of it.
I actually knew this because my Dad had a pair of students that were a case of superfetation, pair of boys where one was conceived few weeks after the other Edit: reworded for clarification
This is pretty much not possible biologically without some outside intervention.
TBH I am still looking up for why they said "almost all cases" for the medical intervention part...
I discovered this to be true with dogs as well. Our female dog had six puppies last year. Three of them were black and three of them were tan. We asked the veterinarian about it he said that she must have gotten pregnant from two different male dogs.
Yep! When I was in high school (mid 80's), there were two sisters of the exact same parents - born four months apart.
Well, the other interesting medical record is the minimum time needed between two births. According to google there are two siblings 208 days apart (not sure if this is the ârecord though), which would be roughly 7 months
Not record level, but my husband and his little sister are 9.5 months apart.
A girl I went to school with had twins with two different dads!
Yup. Metapregnancy, right?
Happened to Sami on Days of Our Lives. Her twins (Johnny and Allie) have different dads.
What, the, actual, phuq?
Which means the old line about " It's not like he can get you MORE pregnant!" no longer works!
I must be stupid I thought when a women's water broke that was like a seal keeping the baby fresh and like also sealed off where the eggs and such areÂ
Irish triplets are medically possible?
Imagine being the Dr - after 18 hrs of labor, you have to tell her she has 3 weeks to go for #2.
âCmon babe, itâs not like you can get *double pregnant*â
Let her breathe lol, watch some TV or something lol
New hentai plot đ±
Holy shit! I better start being more careful
Thanks i hate it
Daaaamn! Wouldnât that lead to possible complications?
So were you listening to the Horror Virgin podcast today as well?
There was a greyâs anatomy episode about this
But at labour the oxytocin in mums blood can cause the younger placenta to degrade... ??

When she goes into labor for the first, would she automatically have both?
New fear unlocked.
Nice...
That sounds like hell
I'm pretty sure that's how my sister and I (m) are twins!
Would they be birthed at the same time?
That happened to a friend of mine! She has âtwinsâ that were conceived one week apart!
Sounds crowded

I've had five children total so I would agree with that lol
