She meant the ultrasound from when the single fetus was younger vs. older.

GAVEL.

 

No she didn't.

She has posted before that she thinks she conceived when she was already 4w pregnant.  

Do you have a link?

Ask and ye shall receive :-)

Man. That must suck. Can you imagine giving birth and then having to do it all over again 2 weeks later???

Haha, you think it hurt the first time....2 weeks later? I think I would die.

My friend had "twins" that are two weeks apart. She got pregnant, ovulated a second time and got pregnant 2 weeks later. It's very rare but can certainly happen. Her babies were born at the same time. Emery is just older than Sammie by 2 weeks.

If they were born at the same time, aren't they the same age, regardless of what happened in utero?

Mom's of preemies feel free to educate me on adjusted age, I don't know that much about it. But this seems weird.

They have the same birthday so technically they are the same age. There were previous posters (I'm sure teasingly) saying that they'd have to give birth 2 weeks later. I'm just stating that even though they were conceived 2 weeks apart their birth would be on the same day.

If you read all the pp's comments (including the one with the link to a previous discussion about her babies being two weeks apart), you would know that the pp retracted her comments & GAVEL. TYVM.

I'm not judging anyone for what her doctor told her.

But what the hell is the GAVEL for? Is this a 1st Tri thing? Why is always caps? Is fish/crab an AE?

This thread holds such promise and mystery for me.

I don't think it is what her doctor said, I think it is what she assumed.

GAVEL would be her punctuating a sentence, as in, end of story. It isn't a 1st tri thing, I think she just assumed everyone would figure it out. 

She is not an AE.

Actually GAVEL was a joke.   After all the people weighing in and going back and forth.   So i gave my opinion, then hit the GAVEL to end the discussion.

I thought the fact that I was wrong in the end made it funnier.

I'm sorry you didn't get it.   Not having a sense of humour must be hard.

For real.

And which part is asinine? The about the girl/doctor or the fact that you didn't get what Sam said was a joke? I am also lost now.

I love my sense of humour. I'm sure if I posted on 1st Tri regularly and knew "you" then I would have seen the sarcasm. But since I don't know the 1st Tri regulars, I thought you were seriously using "GAVEL" in the sense of "the conversation is now over, no more posting". I was wrong. Now I get the joke.

Seeing as how I bought a 36-pack of condoms with spermicide today, I don't expect to be here again any time soon, so I will mosey on back to 12-24.

I'm confused by the other link where she talks about the twins sharing the same sac. If these twins are in the same sac, then that would indicate identical twins. If her babies are identical, then they weren't conceived two weeks apart. Plus, it sounds like from the other thread, the doctor never said they were conceived separately. I think she's assuming they were to ease her mind about the big discrepancy in gestational age.

She says she had triplets initially.

maybe she has 2 utes and sets of ovaries, and 2 different cycles for each?   LOL

you know it is possible to have two uteruses. There was just a woman this year that was pregnant in both.

It is rare but not impossible.

no she'd started with 1 baby and 2 weeks later got pg with the identical twins - but lost one.    So babies that are left are supposedly different gestational ages.

Also, maybe she means that the babies are measuring at different weeks.  I know that twins that are conceived at the same time can measure differently.  Perhaps one twin is just two weeks behind in size.

Geez, ladies.  Give her a break.

This is the way I took it, but I don't think the OP understood why they were different in size.
