...she said she couldn't get any more pregnant than she already was...
Even pregnancy is only 99.99% effective at preventing pregnancy.

A pregnant woman has stunned doctors in the US after an ultrasound revealed she is carrying a second, younger baby that is not a twin.
Julia and Todd Grovenburg are believed to have conceived a boy some two-and-a-half weeks after falling pregnant with a girl, US television networks report.
Doctors believe the dual pregnancy may be a case of an incredibly rare phenomenon called superfoetation — conceiving while pregnant.
There are reportedly only about 10 recorded cases of superfoetation, which can pose serious health risks to the younger foetus if the babies are born too far apart.
If the gap is longer than 24 days, doctors say the second child is likely to suffer lung development problems.
But doctors believe the Grovenburg's male foetus, dubbed 'Hudson' by the parents, has a very good chance of survival because of the short period between conceptions.
The couple is calling their female foetus Jillian.
Mrs Grovenburg's obstetrician Michael Muylaert confirmed there was a "discordant growth pattern, possibly due to superfoetation".
"This is an unusual and rare condition, but the possibility is real," he told KFSM-TV.
"It can only be confirmed after delivery by chromosomal and metabolic studies on the babies."
If the babies arrive when expected, the girl will be born in 2009 while the boy will have a 2010 birthdate.
It would be crazy if the second fetus wasn't his...
do you want this to be you?!
ABSTINENCE ONLY!
Proof of the only safe sex is no sex!
ROFLOLOLOLOLOLO
Is this some old story that they're just now reporting on? How the heck is one going to be born in 2009 and the other 2010? There's only 3 months left in the year!
Could you imagine if she aborted the younger one but keep the older one?
I feel bad for the younger one. He will grow up knowing that he could not have possibly been more of an accident.
I feel bad for the older one. He will grow up knowing irrefutably that his dad was boning his mom while he was in there.
I feel bad for both of them. Their mom is a disgusting cow.
I bet they get on that TLC show..."I didn't know I was pregnant."
I hate it, but I find chicks that don't realize they haven't had a period for almost a year while at the same time being borderline too stupid to breathe, medically fascinating.
Hey hey, she's no Octo-Mom!
How is that a redeeming quality though?
Well, it's redeeming in the sense that she didn't have six kinds already and feel the need to make a circus sideshow out of her family. This kind of medical fluke I can live with. scientifically induced "miracles" and "wonders from god" like Jon & Kate and OctoMom need to stop.
There's still hope. One could eat the other and become a schizophrenic.
I feel bad for the older one. He will grow up knowing irrefutably that his dad was boning his mom while he was in there.
Reminds me of that chapter in Trainspotting where Rents is banging that preggo and wondering if his pritzel is whacking the fetus on the head and going in it's mouth and stuff.
it might just be my wish to become pregnant but superfoetation sounds kinda awesome.
This is the most awesome news today. Their relationship will be so fucked up. I'm gonna enjoy the documentaries about this. Not the pr0n so much, no, but the aftermath.
I like the name "Hudson." I also like the term "falling pregnant."
There is hope, but not for us.
I can't stand last names as first names. It's really pretentious.

Some women continue to bleed during pregnancy. Also, some women's periods are so irregular it is really hard to notice when its missed. The idea that women have a period every 28 days is, in my experience, rarely the case.

It is really common to have light bleeding for a day or two about three weeks into pregnancy when the placenta develops and attaches to the uterine wall, which is often mistaken for a very light period.
It is hard for me to imagine being six or seven or more months pregnant and not noticing though, even if the belly doesn't swell at all there is still a growing firmness that rises further and further up the abdomen which should at the very least alert to something being up. Not to mention the involuntary movements going on in there.
LOFL
On a scale of 1 to awesome I'm the sh*t.

A year is a bit extreme...but my period is really wacky!! I skip 2 and 3 months all the time.

So do I, or at least I did until recently.
Also, and this is just anecdotal, but my dad's best friend growing up was one of twelve kids (big Catholic farm family.) At one point a couple years ago, they did the math on all their birthdays and realized their mother was probably ovulating once every 15-20 days. That kind of thing is not unheard-of.
There is hope, but not for us.
Reminds me of this Dwight Schrute quote from The Office:
When my mother was pregnant with me, they did an ultrasound and found she was having twins. When they did another ultrasound a few weeks later, they discovered that I had adsorbed the other fetus. Do I regret this? No, I believe his tissue has made me stronger. I now have the strength of a grown man and a little baby.

A woman once had 5 children once, and they were all born on the same day, just on different years. WEIRD!!

I actually knew a chick who confused her unexpected pregnancy for indigestion. Definitely a MENSA candidate (please note extreme sarcasm), and I'm sure the kid is growing up completely well adjusted and all.
You'll need to see a healthcare provider to find out if christipants is right for you. If you're a man who uses nitrate drugs, like nitroglycerine (drugs commonly used for the treatment of chest pains), never take christipants. Your blood pressure could suddenly drop to an unsafe or life-threatening level. christipants must never be used by men taking nitrates of any kind, any time. Other medications may interact with christipants and change the way christipants works. Like many medications, your healthcare provider may have to adjust your initial christipants dosage if it doesn't produce the desired results or you're bothered by side effects. -monkeywright
I saw this on Yahoo news a few days ago. I feel bad for the husband.
