That is downright weird. You are almost left speechless.....then I remembered about a relative who was expecting twins. They both were visible on an early sonogram. A later sonogram revealed only one baby and she did deliver just one baby. It was explained that sometimes early on, one baby can be absorbed by the amniotic fluid. Never heard of one baby ingesting the other baby though.....this is sort of a Ripley's Believe or Not story.

Too creepy for me.

Wow, that's a story for the grandkids...

"I was first pregnant when I was seven months old...!"

Anyone ever had a pilenidal cyst?

Both my Dad and I have had one when our family lived in OH...I was told that it's like having a "twin"...except near your tailbone. :eek:

And it was a boy, too ....somehow that just compounds the weirdness.
