is it possible to have two babies in the same pregnancy from two separate men?

Answer 1

Yes and there are documented cases of it, as well . The first set noted:one was white, one was mulatto. The mother has sex with two men (one black, one white) in a short period of time and sperm can live for seventy-two hours. She dispersed two eggs during her cycle and had fraternal twins. Each egg having been fertilized by each man the mother had sex with.
I can't think of exactly where to look for the info...try Discovery Health Network.
So, yes, it can and has happened.

Answer 2

Yes, I have read that this occurrs..very rarely, but it has occurred. When multiple births occurr if the children are not identical, the mother had more than a single egg in the uterus. It is possible that a woman having sex with 2 different men during ovulation she can have babies from the same pregnancy from two different fathers.
A case of the first daddy's little sperm fella arriving on target by himself and the second one sailing in to pick up the slack.

Answer 3

Yes absolutely. It's rare, but it does happen. You would have to have two unfertilized eggs in your uterus at the time, one man fertilizes one, one man fertilizes the other. There have actually been fraternal twin brothers, one is caucasion, one is black. Same mother, obviously different fathers, both healthy.

Theres an old story from during the American Civil War. A soldier had been shot in the groin, ripping off one of his testicles. Bits of the testicle remained on the bullet round, as bullets in those guns didnt get as hot or travel as fast as modern bullets do. However, the bullet also struck a woman in the abdomen. She became pregnant from the experience, gave birth and raised a healthy child.

Truth is Stranger than Fiction

Answer 4

It has happened for several times, mostly in USA and in south-eastern Asia, and was documented by medical specialists.

It is possible, but only if an ovulation occurs while the pregnancy is still in an early stage (first two or three weeks). After that time, the concentration of hormons is so high that ovulation is stopped.

Answer 5

It's definitely possible — in fact, it's actually happened. In one of the most notable cases, a white American woman gave birth in 1810 to two children — one white and one mulatto — at the same time. Needless to say, she had a lot of explaining to do.

As you probably know (since it was just mentioned in the last answer), "identical" twins are formed when a single fertilized egg (a zygote) splits into two separate individuals. "Fraternal" twins come from two different eggs fertilized by two different sperm. Most of the time, these sperm will come from the same "donor," but a woman who feels the urge to have multiple partners within a short period of time will sometimes end up with twins from different fathers. When twins are produced by different fathers, it's called "heteropaternal superfecundation."

This has happened a number of times in history (probably more often than we know, since twins are not typically tested for it unless they are involved in a paternity suit) but it's very unusual.

Answer 6

yes!

Twins Have Different Fathers
A Croatian woman who slept with two men at the same time has given birth to twins with two different fathers. The 23-year-old student, who has been named only as M B, gave birth to non-identical twins in Zagreb seven months ago. However, she has revealed that DNA testing has shown the children have different fathers.

She told daily Jutarnji List, "I was shocked at getting pregnant and even more surprised when doctors told me that my two sons had different fathers." Doctors have said twins being born to different fathers is extremely rare.

Answer 7

Even though this is really rare.......I have heard of this being done. I can not remember what country it was in or it may have been in the US, but I know it was done!

Also, there was a couple who had a set of twins and one of the baby girls was white and the other twin was black but the twins were identical in appearance but their colors were different!

Answer 8

actually i have read you can... if you ovulate more than once a month...

there are two different type of twins...

Fraternal twins, or more develop when two or more eggs are fertilized by SEPARATE sperm. Fraternal fetuses have separate placentas, and amniotic sacs.

therefor, yes it is possible, unless they are Identical twins because they come from a single egg that has been fertilized by ONE sperm.

so there...

Answer 9

Yes it is possible, I know for a fact because a friend of mine had that happen to her. She was having sex with 2 different guys within a few days of each other and she got pregnant and had twin girls and you can tell which one belongs to who because they look just like their fathers.

Answer 10

You are just at the height of absurdity. WOMB is not a machine that u put more raw material and get the increased production. If u desire to have sex with ten men in one day, then according to u, u can deliver ten children. ABSOLUTELY RUBBISH.
