Woman gives birth to twins with different fathers
Staff Reporter | Posted May 20, 2009 10:03 AM
Doctors call it heteropaternal superfecundation and say it's so rare that only a few cases in the world are documented. Dr Chris Dreiling told The Guardian that the conception can happen when a woman releases multiple eggs during ovulation and has more than one sexual partner within the same time period. If so, the different sperm cells can fertilize two separate eggs at roughly the same time. "Out of all the people in America, out of all the people in the world, it had to happen to me," Washington told a local TV news reporter. She acknowledged her infidelity to her partner, who said he still plans to raise both children as his own.
Ironically, Washington told one reporter that she had no plans to tell the other father. But after the international media coverage, it's likely he'll find out soon.
