Woman gets pregnant while pregnant

Having struggled with infertility one couple was surprised when two babies came along at once.
What makes this particularly unusual however is the fact that the babies weren't twins, instead they'd been conceived just two weeks apart. "It's common knowledge and written down in medical books that you can't get pregnant while you're already pregnant, but somehow after years of trying to conceive I was the exception to the rule," says proud mother Julia Grovenburg.
After struggling with infertility for three years, Julia Grovenburg and her husband Todd seriously considered adopting a baby from a foreign country in order to complete their dreams of having a family. But in a final and desperate attempt to have children of their own, the couple gave it one last try and on one lucky Sunday afternoon in July 2009, Julia's pregnancy test finally came back positive.

Interesting article. I'm glad the babies are doing okay.

What I find interesting is wondering how many sets of non-identical twins are exactly like this but just aren't noticed or documented. Granted we generally would have an ultra-sound early enough for it to be found. But if there hadn't been an ultra-sound (early on?) in this case, or if it had somehow been over-looked (the nurse doesn't sound like she would have caught it without the doctors opinion), nobody would think anything special about it and they would have been celebrating their non-identical twins.

If I recall correctly, this actually happened to an ex-girlfriend of mine. She lost the secondary one for whatever reason, I can't recall, but I think it boiled down to not getting the nutrients and such that the primary one did. The only reason why I recall it is because when I heard it. I was thinking, "Man, I thought once you had a bun in the over, you had 9 months of freebees... I guess not!"

I remember a lady on a show here called RPA or it could have been one of those weird baby shows. Anywho she had triplets but they only inserted to embryos which both took and neither embryo split so technically she got pregnant while being pregnant too i guess.

this is actually very common. It happened to my brother, without the use if drugs. The doctor made a comment to my brother, of that is what he gets for going back for seconds.

From OP... " in a final and desperate attempt to have children of their own, the couple gave it one last try.." ROFL @ "journalist" who wrote that.
