We all have heard about Triplet birth. In our country, the most well-known triplets are famous choreographer Farah Khan’s kid. They are triplets. But I am going to talk about a different kind of triplet birth. As per recent news, a British woman revealed that when she was already pregnant with her twins, she again got pregnant with her third child. So basically, she was carrying twins and after few weeks she again conceived and her pregnancy turned from twins to triplet. This means she conceived her babies at different times. No, this is not a joke. In scientific terms, this is called Superfoetation – when a woman conceives then conceives again between two weeks and a month later.
During my research over Superfoetations, I found that this type of pregnancy is found in those women who have undergone any kind of fertility treatments. Still, there are only limited cases of this odd phenomenon. There is no extract answer of why this happens. Doctors have divided opinions. Most of them say that even after conceiving a baby if the body, anyhow, doesn’t realize it’s presence then it can let the other pregnancy happen. And this is again related to hormones that are produced during pregnancy. Howbeit I found this so amazing that I thought to write a blog on this topic.
