[Pick] Daughter pregnant after 3 weeks of son's pregnancy?... Women who gave birth to'super twins'

In the UK, a rare case of an already pregnant woman getting pregnant again after 3 weeks is drawing attention.

On the 30th of last month local time, foreign media such as British Metro introduced the story of 39-year-old Rebecca Roberts, who took two children three weeks apart.

On the day of the 10th week of pregnancy, Roberts was diagnosed with "the baby is growing healthy" after an ultrasound in the hospital.

But

the second ultrasound scan, the doctors' facial expressions were completely different.

There was another strange thing.

For a typical twin, one of the two fetuses was ridiculously small compared to the other.

Doctors found out why no one knew about the presence of one of the twins until the 10th week of pregnancy, and why one fetus had to be exceptionally small.

Roberts had two babies at different times.

When the fetus is already in the womb, a new egg is fertilized and develops one after another, which means that the fetus of a different age is hungry.

It is known that this has been reported only 14 times in medical records around the world to date.

On September 17, 2020, Mr. Roberts gave birth to'twins' of different ages and sizes through a cesarean section.

The first son, Noah, weighed about 2.1kg, and the second daughter Rosalie was only about half that, 1.1kg.

Rosalie, who came to the world earlier than expected, stayed in the neonatal intensive care unit for about three months before she could go home.

Rosalie, who was located in her mother's stomach one step later than her older brother Noah, is known to have a much smaller placenta than Noah's.

Because of this, he is much smaller than Noah, who is only three weeks old, even today, about six months old.

"The hospital says that both children are very healthy," said mother Roberts, "and, considering that Noah and Rosalie's weights were twice as different right after birth, Rosalie is growing very well." .

Roberts is being supported by many netizens by sharing the daily lives of Noah and Rosalie, also known as'super twins' on social media.
