    You hear about stuff like that on Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice, and almost never in real life! That's too crazy.

    I remember reading about a British woman who conceived two babies a few weeks apart.  Strange things going on in the world!

    BFP #2 4/9/12, EDD 12/16/12, M/C Rory 4/24/12.

    I fear this may showcase my ignorance on the human reproductive system, but how can you have babies a few weeks (or a few months) apart? Even with the two uteri, don't the hormones involved with pregnancy prevent ovulation? I understand a few days apart or at the same time due to delay in implantation, but I'm at a loss for the greater times between. Anyone?

    It's incredibly rare.  Check this out: https://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1926414,00.html

    This reminds me of an episode of Grey's anatomy I saw once.

    My favorite comment is the one where person says since there are 2 different eggs the babies are siblings, not twins. I have sibling babies too!

    I don't know the science behind it, but my BFF went to school with someone who's sibling were conceived 2-3 months apart.  The mom was on strict bedrest to make sure baby #1 made it to 40+ weeks so baby #2 was as far along as possible.  Baby #2 obviously was born premature, but survived.

    Huh. Thanks!

    Superfetation - Sounds like something that should be said with a fist-pumping action.
