Guest guest Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Pranams,Medical Marvel? Pregnant woman gets pregnant again FOX 8 September 25, 2009FORT SMITH, Arkansas -- A pregnant woman in Arkansas finds out she is pregnant again, and the babies are not twins. An ultrasound revealed a second, smaller, male fetus, growing next to and Julia Grovenburg's baby girl. They say the second fetus was conceived about two and a half weeks after the first. Doctors say the Grovenburg babies may be a case of superfetation, which is "conceiving while pregnant." The couple's doctor talked about the medical shocker to a national morning show, "When the woman had her ultrasound initially, they saw one sack, one baby developing, and that baby had a certain gestational age; then they noticed a second heartbeat in a child that was much, much younger developmentally," said Dr. Karen Boyle of the Greater Baltimore Medical Center. The doctor says conceiving while pregnant is extremely rare, "It does really sound like this is a true case of different conception times for these children," Boyle continued, adding that she could only find "about 10 reported cases" of superfetation. A different doctor weighs in on the situation, "This is an unusual and rare condition, but the possibility is real. It can only be confirmed after delivery by chromosomal and metabolic studies on the babies," Dr. Michael Muylaert wrote in a letter to the show. Dr. Boyle says superfetation is often dangerous for the younger baby, who could be born prematurely. She says it puts lung development at risk. However, in the Grovenburgs' case, a difference of two weeks would not present many risks. "The interesting thing in this case is if these children were actually born on their due dates, the older child would be born at the end of 2009, and the younger child would be born in the beginning of 2010," Boyle said.The above NEWS copied from:http://www.kdvr.com/news/kdvr-pregnant-twice-092409,0,1089880.story?track=rssDoes such gravidness is discussed in systems of Astrology.Regards / Dhananjayan Get your preferred Email name!
