  1. Apparently, the woman conceived her babies about three weeks apart. Link contains photo of ultrasound:

  3. I have read about this happening, and knew that it was possible. But I've never actually seen it.

    Bet they were surprised, huh?

  5. The link is unavailable at this time but I'm assuming the story is about the New Zealand woman. We don't do things by halves here. Very interesting situation, I hope everything works out well for them when the time comes for the babies to be born.
    Oh, the story was in a magazine I bought yesterday.

  7. The link I posted is a story about a woman in Arkansas. Here is another link to try: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/ReproductiveHealth/pregnant-woman-pregnant-julia-grovenburg-conceives-consecutively/story?id=8656369

    This phenomenon is called superfetation. Who knew?!!

  9. Oh, the story here in NZ is a woman with two separate wombs and a baby gestating in each womb but probably conceived at different time. She is now 28 weeks pregnant and could deliver any time now but possibly have the babies days or even weeks apart. She had already had 2 boys from the right womb and a girl who was born at 22 weeks but didn't survive from the left womb. The babies she is expecting now have passed the 1kg(2.2lb) mark and are a boy and a girl.
    As this appears to be an exclusive story I can't find any links to it.
    This is a rare condition called uterus didelphys.
    Positive Thoughts for the birth of the babies.
