Hello, i just wanted some advice as im still in abit of shock and if this has happened to anyone else what did you do?
Basically i gave birth 3 months ago, my daughter was born 2 months premature at 31 weeks gestation. She had jejunal atresia and intestional stenosis, also malrotation of the bowel and large intestine. she spent 2 months in hospital and is now at home making a full recovery and is healthy 6 pounds in weight. About a week after i gave birth i felt some moving in my stomach but as this was my first child i asumed it was my womb shrinking back to normal size. over the past 3 months i have been feeling niggles but as ive had so much to deal with my daughter i didnt take any notice. Last week my mother in law made me take a pregnancy test as she 'had a feeling' i was pregnant again. Dreading the test i took it and it was positive, i thought at the most i would be about 1 month pregnant. So i went to the doctors and thats when she confirmed by feeling my stomach that i was indeed 7 MONTHS pregnant, as i have 2 wombs and i concieved while i was pregnant with my daughter. I feel very angry as i had a scan 2 days before i gave birth and they never picked up anything. Im just feeling very low now as i only wanted one child. and to think im going to have another one in 2 months is a huge shock to me. Has anyone else had this? how did you cope?
Thanks, sorry for the long post!

So you are going to have two children, five months apart, if you go to full term this time? Well, you will certainly be in all the papers I would think!
Maybe I have lost something in the explanation, but did you not sit your driving test when you were full term, just a few months ago?
i was going to say, this is tabloid stuff!
I can't wait to see how this thread pans out
I am not a medical expert I;m judging from this story
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1199831/Woman-wombs-gives-birth-million-baby-girl.html obviously I do not know all the details of your story.
Finally congratulations.
However, are you concerned that they did not check you for dual pregnany?
What are the docs saying about it all?
I have to say I have never heard of such a thing. However, I would be tempted to give Max Clifford a call, and see if, with his help, you could make a little cash to help out.
I have heard of this condition - and sorry for my scepticism but you do got a lot of WUM's on here.
I wouldn't waste your energy complaining - I'd save it for preparing yourself for what's to come!
In your OP you said you gave birth 3 months ago and your baby was 2 months premature. That means you gave birth at the end of November and the baby was due at the end of January. In your driving test thread you said the baby was due on December 2nd. Something isn't adding up here.
EDIT: You also said in that thread that you were 37 weeks pregnant, and in the first post of this thread you claim you gave birth at 31 weeks.
Superfetation is the term for being pregnant when already preganant and can (very rarely) occur in women with only one uterus. The medical term for having 2 wombs is called uterus didelphys.
but surely with on e uterous if pregnant twice and you went into labour with the first baby then both would have to be born at the same time
Likewise!
This one's set to run and run!
There may have been times where you were listening to one or the other but the midwife wasn't to know that and can't tell just by ear.
All I can say, is like a poster said above - it will be like having twins. You will need to prepare military style and recruit all the help you can get.
Congrats btw.
ROFL:D:D:D:D
Do you have four nostrils?
I gave birth to twins, only expecting one baby.
During pregnancy I was in hospital for about 6 weeks (not in one go, but a week here a week there and so on). I had 2 scans, I had the measurements of THE baby, everything was hunky-dory. Then went into labour, gave birth to THE baby,(6lb) and all hell broke loose in the delivery room. The second baby was born 7 minutes later (6lb 14oz). Nobody every cottoned on that I was carrying twins, after the scans, all the examination, all the sickness, backache, sometimes even feeling paralysed in my legs, 47inch boobs and 46 inch belly. Everybody was gobsmacked, especially with the weight of them 2.
