I consider birth to be a miracle -- it's just an amazing thing our bodies can do even when things go right with labor and delivery. When there is a complication, the strength of our bodies and of our babies is even more evident. When I heard about this mom with a double uterus who defied the odds and carried a baby in each womb, it was hard not to be in awe.
Alison Camp was born with a double uterus, which is extremely unusual -- only about 0.3 percent of women are known to have this. This condition, medically known as uterus didelphys, makes having a successful pregnancy rare, and the fact that Camp had a baby boy in each womb made it even more extraordinary, but also more risky.
The babies were born seven minutes apart by c-section at 25 weeks back in October. Both boys were around 1 pound, 5 ounces and the Camps were very concerned about their health so they didn't want to share their story until now ....

On any given day of the week, tabloids claim that Angelina Jolie is either pregnant or way too skinny for her own good. Does anyone else see a huge contradiction here? The rumor mill seriously cannot get enough of all things Angie, and it seems like speculation about whether or not her body is growing or shrinking for various reasons is constantly plastered all over the front of gossip magazines.
I love twin pregnancies and twin moms. I am one, so of course I do. But what I love even more is when there is a great story that comes along with the twin pregnancy or birth -- something that defies the odds (or that one doctor I had who told me how unnatural it was for me to even be pregnant with twins). So when I hear about twins being born over six pounds each or a twin mom able to have her twins vaginally, I feel like she has done twin mamas proud. But Brighid Rosputni took the pride of having twins many, many steps further.
For seven years, Michal Friedman and her husband Jay Snyder had been trying to have children. Being parents was their greatest dream, and they did everything they could to achieve it.

Why Nadya Suleman, aka Octomom, would choose to expose her belly to the general public in full-color, close-up photos is something I definitely don't understand. But then, I've never really understood anything Suleman has done, so I guess that's no surprise. The actual pics, though, did come as a surprise. That was NOT the belly I was expecting, okay?
