A 'super-fertile' mum discovered she had fallen pregnant while already pregnant after conceiving her twins 28 days apart. Sophie Small conceived Holly and Darcy, now two, one month apart due to an incredibly rare phenomenon known as superfetation, where a new pregnancy occurs after the first one.
Sophie and accountant husband Jonathan, 34, who already have a son named Oscar, six, were trying for another baby when they conceived Holly after a party in December 2019. Although the 30-year-old had an inkling that she was already pregnant, the couple decided to keep trying just in case and they conceived Darcy a month later.
The swimming instructor was thrilled when she took a pregnancy test and discovered it was positive. But the concerned mum went for a seven-week scan to make sure the baby was healthy after she suffered from extreme morning sickness.
