I now know why she's been so quiet. Woman Gets Pregnant While Pregnant, Gives Birth To Different-Aged Twins Photo: Getty Images When most pregnant women are asked how far along they are, it's typically an easy question to answer, but that wasn't the case for one expectant mother. That's because one of her babies was two-and-a-half weeks older than the other. Her name is Sandra Searle from Perth, Australia, and she had what is known as superfetation twins. The rare condition happens when a pregnant woman gets pregnant again. For Sandra, it occurred because she and her husband were using IVF, which they had success with for their first two children. Because her husband was a testicular cancer survivor and she had been told she had a low egg count, conceiving naturally was extremely unlikely, however, she wound up getting pregnant, though she didn't know that when she went through an IVF cycle, which also worked. Soon after, Sandra's doctor noticed abnormally high hormone levels and called for a scan, which, according to Australia's ABC, he said showed "a seven or eight-week sized fetus, which was about 18 days ahead of where it should have been, plus another little sac which was consistent with the really early pregnancy from the IVF cycle." He added, "She's managed to get herself pregnant spontaneously with really no supporting hormones, then the IVF embryo stuck at the same time." While the news was surprising to the Searles, it was even harder to explain to others. Sandra said, "Firstly, I was trying to wrap my head around being pregnant with two babies with two different gestations. So I was continuously having to explain to medical experts that I was expecting two babies... with one baby at six weeks and one baby at eight and a half weeks. And nobody could understand why." The different ages of her babies made a due date hard to decide on. Her doctor described the situation saying, "Between 36-and-a-half weeks and 39 weeks, there's a lot of change going on in babies. At 36-and-a-half weeks, babies are much more likely to end up in the nursery with some breathing problems needing some extra support. And generally 39-week babies come out and they're ready to go. So trying to work out the optimal time for both and trying to work out what's going to be best overall is always tricky." The babies were born healthy, a girl, Poppy, and a boy, Michael. Poppy was full-term and weighed 6 lb., 10 oz., while Michael was premature, weighing 4 lb., 7 oz. The Seales' doctor called it a "medical miracle," noting, "She's a very lucky lady to get two beautiful babies after such a rare event and it's great." As for Sandra, she stated, "It's been like a happy accident. I guess we didn't imagine having four kids but we're actually really enjoying it." While the Seales are one of only around 10 confirmed cases of superfetation twins in the world, some experts think there are more out there but the phenomenon is underreported.
I feel like I’ve pretty well assimilated into the board and the Australia thing isn’t as much of an issue any more.
No. But I needed the investigation quashed lest it reveal my shameful past regarding furniture relations.
Nothing like a good broken in piece of I mean what’s everyone doing this weekend? antiquing right ????
I think it’s just that the Aussie posters outside of Paulski, JVP and Melbz just suck and are shitty posters.
I knew a girl in HS with the last name Bigot. It was Louisiana so it was pronounced BEE-go but you really can’t leave the state with a name like that.
Ya know normally I’d laugh if a country’s greatest cultural contribution was a deep fried onion, but considering Australia started as a penal colony it really isn’t that surprising.
Wasted bullet. American’s don’t know shit about Australian politics because they are completely inconsequential. I don’t even know what your big platforms are. Pro and anti Koala? Is Australia sending ten folks to distribute shrimps from the barbie to war torn Sudan? I don’t know.
