Huge Dose of Weirdom


Lady gets conceived while she is Pregnant
Julia Grovenburg is due to give birth in December -- and in January. The Arkansas resident says she is carrying two fetuses conceived 2.5 weeks apart. She's not the first woman to say she has conceived though already pregnant -- a phenomenon called superfetation.
Getting pregnant while pregnant: Superfetation occurs when a pregnant woman ovulates (rare), the ovum gets fertilized (rarer) and the fetus finds room in the womb (alert the media).
Doubters: Some medical experts say superfetation in this case is unlikely. Here's why. Her obstetrician disagrees. What he says.
Amazing multiples: Ame and Lia Herrity were conceived three weeks apart and born together in 2007 (by cesarean section).Thomas and Harriet Mullineux share a similar story.
Room for doubt: In 2002, Italy's Flavia D'Angelo announced that she was carrying triplets she conceived while she was six months pregnant. Or so she said.
Major misconceptions: Pregnancy stops ovulation -- usually. But breast-feeding and ''it's my first time'' are among birth control myths.
Other multiples: If a woman is carrying two fetuses fathered by two different men, the medical term is this.
Are they twins? Here's a refresher on twins. Now you can join the debate on how to categorize the in utero Grovenburgs.
Hope this doesn't happen to my wife............lol
