to the channel a 12-week ultrasound
0:16
revealed that one woman had conceived
0:18
her in utero babies three weeks apart at
0:21
the age of 39 Rebecca Roberts was
0:24
struggling to get pregnant she'd already
0:26
had a daughter 15 years prior but was
0:29
ready to expand her family with partner
0:30
Reese Weaver Rebecca started taking
0:32
fertility drugs in hopes that it would
0:35
help along the process of conceiving as
0:37
a children's clothing designer kids were
0:40
Rebecca's life with any hope she'd be
0:42
able to bring more into this world
0:45
much to her and Reese relief Rebecca
0:48
became pregnant the news elated Rebecca
0:50
after it was confirmed with obstetrician
0:52
David Walker that all was well with her
0:55
bun in the oven an ultrasound showed one
0:58
healthy baby that would be due in
0:59
October it wasn't until the third ultra
1:02
sound that something was off
1:04
when Rebecca came in for her third
1:06
ultrasound the technician took a pause
1:09
Rebecca immediately jumped to the
1:11
thought that something might be wrong
1:12
she had gone through so much already and
1:15
was starting to worry that things might
1:17
not be as bright as she'd owed the
1:19
technician notified Doctor Walker of
1:22
what they saw and even he couldn't
1:24
believe it the doctor started wondering
1:26
to himself how he could have made this
1:28
type of error the thing that the
1:30
ultrasound technician and the doctor had
1:33
discovered turned out not to be a
1:34
problem at all
1:36
they showed the expecting mother on the
1:38
ultrasound her first fetus and then they
1:40
pointed to another one Rebecca was going
1:43
to be having twins the news made her
1:45
happier than imaginable but there was
1:47
more while Rebecca and Rhys were just
1:50
happy to be welcoming two little ones
1:51
into their home Doctor Walker couldn't
1:54
stop wondering how this had happened he
1:57
had seen countless pregnancies in his 25
1:59
years but couldn't put his finger on
2:01
this one
2:02
being that Rebecca was on fertility
2:04
drugs it was even more likely that she
2:06
would conceive twins with that in mind
2:08
Doctor Walker would have been on the
2:11
lookout for multiples yet he still
2:13
didn't see this coming since Rebecca was
2:15
in her late 30s and carrying twins it
2:17
would take very close observation to
2:19
make sure that everything was going well
2:22
Rebecca made it to her appointments
2:24
regularly and they were able to keep a
2:26
close eye on the twins while there
2:28
wasn't anything urgent the doctor did
2:30
notice something that was off
2:32
one of the twins was much smaller than
2:34
the other Rebecca had already feared
2:37
that something was wrong when the
2:38
ultrasound technician went quiet
2:40
now the doctor was pointing out how
2:42
small one of the twins was
2:44
doctor
2:45
Walker continued to monitor the twins
2:47
growth he noticed something incredible
2:50
they were consistently growing at a rate
2:52
three weeks apart he didn't notice the
2:54
twin before because it hadn't been there
2:56
for the first three weeks
2:58
Doctor Walker discovered that what
3:01
Rebecca was experiencing was a very rare
3:03
occurrence called superfutation it
3:06
involves one pregnancy implanting after
3:07
another has already happened in
3:10
Rebecca's case she and Rhys conceived a
3:12
second child three weeks after
3:14
conceiving their first the reason
3:16
supervutation is so uncommon is that the
3:19
hormones that are released during the
3:20
first pregnancy typically prevent
3:22
another from occurring it is more common
3:25
among women who undergo IVF but there
3:27
are still only a few confirmed cases
3:29
Doctor Walker told Good Morning America
3:32
that he was relieved to find out that it
3:35
wasn't his error that led to them
3:37
finding out three months in that Rebecca
3:39
was carrying two Doctor Walker explained
3:43
that the fertility drugs that Rebecca
3:45
was taking tend to cause the body to
3:47
release two eggs at once it would make
3:49
sense that this could have occurred and
3:51
one was fertilized separately from the
3:53
other
3:54
however he isn't convinced that was the
3:57
case since there's no way of proving
3:59
that both eggs were released
4:00
simultaneously plus three weeks apart is
4:04
a significant amount of time especially
4:06
given the hormonal changes that occur in
4:08
early pregnancy
4:09
is involving multiple babies have to be
4:12
more closely monitored because they're
4:14
higher risk this was especially true
4:16
with Rebecca's case of supervutation
4:18
because the fetuses were so far apart in
4:21
development as the months passed Rebecca
4:24
was happy to see that her pregnancy was
4:26
moving along well
4:27
then something happened that required
4:29
them to act fast as Doctor
4:31
Walker continued to watch the twins grow
4:34
he noticed that the younger one had
4:36
seemed to plateau in her progress after
4:38
realizing that the younger twin was no
4:40
longer growing as she should be Doctor
4:42
Walker did some investigating
4:45
he discovered that there was an issue
4:47
with the umbilical cord that was
4:49
attached to the younger twin as a result
4:51
she wasn't getting the necessary
4:53
nutrients to continue developing
4:55
fortunately Rebecca was already at 33
4:59
weeks while it was still a little early
5:01
enough time had passed a safety and news
5:03
labor it was time for Rebecca to meet
5:06
her twins though Rebecca was initially
5:08
due in October she arrived at the
5:10
hospital in September so they could
5:12
induce labor and bring out the twins the
5:15
older one was a boy who Rebecca made
5:17
Noah the younger baby was a girl named
5:20
Rosalie no waited at four pounds and 10
5:23
ounces while little Rosalie was two
5:25
pounds and seven ounces it was
5:27
definitely clear from the start that
5:29
Noah was the big brother to Tiny Rosalie
5:32
though Noah looked quite robust compared
5:35
to his little sister he was born
5:37
prematurely and needed to spend some
5:39
time in the neonatal Intensive Care Unit
5:42
Rosalie was almost half the size of her
5:44
preemie brother and needed to go to a
5:46
special Hospital
5:47
seeing the twins split up was hard on
5:50
Rebecca she told today it broke my heart
5:53
when they were separated even more
5:55
heart-wrenching was the Rosalie had to
5:57
spend nine to five days in the hospital
5:59
before coming home Rebecca is amazed at
6:02
how beautiful it is to watch her little
6:04
twins interacting with one another she
6:07
told today that Rosalie was meant to be
6:09
a sentiment obvious by her connection
6:11
with her big brother
6:12
Rebecca's firstborn a teenager named
6:15
summer is certainly happy to be a big
6:17
sister as well the large age Gap makes
6:20
her a top Contender for babysitting at
