Nigerian lady causes buzz as she shows off her 5 months and 2 weeks babies

A Nigerian lady has garnered significant attentions online as she shared a video of her 5 months and 2 weeks old babies respectively.

The video was shared on her TikTok account, @little.orangeboy and it sparked reactions among social media users.

In the video, the mother placed her children on the bed and asked netizens if they had a name for the kind of births she had.

 

Although it is very rare but can be medically called Superfetation. According to report, This is a phenomenon where a second pregnancy occurs alongside an existing one.

Another ovum (egg) is fertilized by sperm and implanted in the womb days or weeks later than the first one.

Babies born from superfetation are mostly called Irish twins, which was originated in the 1800s as a way to mock the Irish catholic immigrant families who did not have access to birth control.

Internet users got amazed as they wondered if the two week baby and five month old son could be from the same woman.
