WATCH: Uh Oh, Jen Is Still Mad At Ben
Mike Ryan: Ben Affleck Bids Bill Hader & Fred Armisen A Fond Farewell
In a medical marvel, a woman in Arkansas who was already weeks pregnant with one baby was impregnated again. That's right, two fetuses, one lady... and they're not twins. Finally, a real-life story that lends some authenticity to "Days of Our Lives"!Julia Grovenburg, left, knew she was pregnant when she went in for a checkup, but the doctors were shocked by what they found. Another heartbeat that was developmentally younger than the one the doctors were expecting to find was there, pumping away. It seems that two weeks after Julia got pregnant, she got pregnant again. She and her husband are now expecting two children, but they aren't twins. It's called superfetation, and it's incredibly rare. Fortunately, the difference in the two fetuses' ages is so small that there shouldn't be any developmental problems if the first one is carried to term.
In addition to two babies instead of one, the Grovenburgs should also expect a good five years or so of puzzled looks, "Irish twin" jokes and at least 14 years of resolving "But I'm the oldest" arguments.

That doctor did not listen very good when he first found out that this woman was pregnant. The other heartbeat was already there!!! What's wrong with their imageing machine. Also I want to know if the doctor listened correctly first, does this means that she has two wombs? Or she was just ovalating all over the place?! What's going on here?

I don't think I'm buying the story either. The doc says 2 weeks difference, but without an absolute date of impregnation for the single fetus or the second, the babies probably are fraternal twins, and the doctor just needs to get an article published. But nonetheless, I wish this couple happy, healthy babies!

This is an amazing fing, UFO's will be flying over her house for days trying to figure out which ones making all that damn noise.
But serioulsy... the amazing part is that the guy wanted to have sex in the first place. But who knows the idea behind the part where the women is pregnant and she is still having sex just brings a lot of raw emotoin to an innocent child.. assuming pro-life is right and the child has a soul from sperm being impolanted on day one. All i am saying is it borders on molestation.
