Is it possible to have 2 babies, not twins, within 3 months?

Question

I know that it is probably not, but a friend of mine told me he has a brother who was born 2 months after him, but they are not twins or stepbrothers. He called me an idiot cause i told him that wasn't possible, so I'm JUST CHECKING!! LOLSZZ

Answer 1

i guess if they were  conceived at different times idk anything is possible

Answer 2

the only way that would be possible is if they have the same father but different mothers.....

Answer 3

Considering you are pregnant for 9 months...thats pretty much bullshit.  Tell him to go back to s*x ed and learn about how babies are made.  The ONLY way, is if they are HALF-brothers.  Theres no possible way his mother could have given birth to 2 children in that period of time.  

Answer 4

its not possible from the same mother!

maybe adopted,or have different mothers,or maybe there is 1 year and 2 months and he is only counting the 2 months not the year!

Answer 5

It's only possible if one (or both) of the baby's are adopted; or they have sepearate Mother's (same father.)

For the baby's to be born 2 months apart (from the same Mom) they would have had to share the uterus at the same time; in that case they would be twins and born within minutes apart: not months apart.

Answer 6

no- it's not a pregnancy is 40 weeks- not possible- even if he were premature it still wouldnt be possible because he'd have to have been born at least 22-23 weeks or so. i did see where there was a set of twins where the mother was in labor really early and delivered one baby adn kept the other in there for about 2-3 more weeks  

Answer 7

There have been cases with twins where one was born early and the other was kept in the womb for days and weeks longer. They would be fraternal twins though, otherwise the only way this could happen is if while the mother was pregnant she ovulated and produced a second pregnancy, but I have NEVER heard of this happening.

Answer 8

If one baby (fraternal twins) had to be taken before birth for health reasons, they may have left the second baby in the womb to full term.  You cannot have two babies in 3 months because of the gestation period.  Did they have the same father and different mothers by some chance?

Answer 9

did you and your friend sleep through biology class??  

He could have a brother born after 2 months after him if the other boy was adopted.  

Answer 10

No it's not possible at all! They have to be at least 9 months apart. What an idiot!

Answer 11

YES! it is. If the mother of the children had a double uterus it is very likely she could concieve while already pregnant with one baby.

I know this because I have that condition along with a vaginal septum more than likely she does too.

When I first found out I was pregnant I was frantic because they actually thought I was carrying twins one in each uterus I went through a ton of ultrasounds and thankfully only had my son.

But YES it can happen and it's not as rare as some people think. This is the only case where I have heard that both babies do live though.

edit- when i first found out about my condition that was one of the first things they told me was that I could have a baby 3 months old in the womb and still concieve another. The drs were able to tell me which uterus I was pregnant in [left or right] and just advised when having s*x to keep it on that side.

Answer 12

pregnancy is the result of an egg being fertilized. if you are already pregnant you do not release any new eggs and therefore cannot get pregnant again. this is not possible.

Answer 13

I think hes winding you up. The only explanation that I could think of is that he is a non identical twin who was born premature at 6 months and his mother carried his brother to full term though realistically he would have been born at the same time. Is he not a half brother. I wouldnt believe him and would only believe him if he showed me identical passports of him and his brother so I could check dates of birth by year.  

Answer 14

i dont think its possible either....

Answer 15

It is absolutely possible but they would have to be twins in utero.  The baby being born first would have to have something wrong, which forced delivery of the child for the safety of that child and mother's welfare, while the other child is left in utero to continue to develop normally.    

Answer 16

lol .. no

the baby needs at least 8 months to develop

he probably meant they're birthdays are 3 months apart haha

[[ different years of course.]]

answer mine??

Answer 17

yes it is possible one would be a preemie the mother would be in high risk for infection and the other would be on time it doesn't happen to often because most doctors will remove the second baby as soon as it can survive outside the womb just in case you didn't already know.

Answer 18

No. It's not possible unless one or both are adopted.

Answer 19

Yes, it is possible.

Perhaps one or both of the children are adopted or perhaps they are half-siblings (share a father, but have different mothers).

Also, there are documented cases of twins being born several months apart, but this is rare.  Another rare occurence is when a woman conceives while already pregnant (because of a bicornate uterus or superfecundation), but usually those babies are born at the same time as well, with one being premature.

Instead of telling him it was not possible, you should have asked what he meant.  He was probably agitated that you were making fun of him/calling him a liar and that led to his name calling.  He COULD be leading you on, but I am guessing there is an explanation.

Answer 20

No that isn't possible.

Answer 21

its not possible.. they would have been twins, the baby could have been a day late but 2 months... no. Its physically impossible.  

Answer 22

Yes, it is thanks to modern science.

  It happened in Denver
