Yes, twins can be born weeks apart if they are conceived through a process called superfetation. Superfetation is when a woman ovulates and conceives again while already pregnant. This rare occurrence can result in twins being born with a significant age difference.
Two lots of twins are commonly referred to as two sets of twins.
Yes, siblings born less than a year apart are often referred to as Irish twins. This term is not accurate historically as it is not exclusive to Irish families, and the modern use of this term can be considered offensive.
there are two types of twins-- fraternal and identical. Fraternal twins are genetically unique, and they usually have physical differences. Identical twins are identically identical, such as a clone, and have exact physcial characteristics, excluding weight and scars etc.
Another name for maternal twins is identical twins. Maternal twins come from a single fertilized egg that splits into two, resulting in two babies with the same genetic makeup.
Fraternal twins (dizygotic twins) are simply two fertilized eggs that are implanted in the uterus at the same time. Identical twins (monozygotic twins) is one fertilized egg that separates into two embryos. In most cases, identical twins share one placenta, but have separate amniotic sacs. In some cases, they have two placentas. In rare cases, they share both the placenta and the amniotic sac.
Nope! They were two years apart
No they're at least two years apart.
No. Marie is two years younger than Donny.
Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart
yes they are No, They arent twins, They are 2yrs apart
No, twins are born from the same pregnancy.
They are two in a set of triplets.
Two girls, their names are Cherry and Lily :)
Theoretically, yes. Twins are usually born at least a few minutes apart, sometimes an hour or two apart. It is rarely possible for delivery of twins to be spaced out even more than that. If a woman delivered one twin shortly before midnight and the another twin shortly after midnight, then the two twins would be born in different days and actually have different birthdays--so they would be 1 day apart in age. Twins are different ages in every case. However, the question is by what time difference. In other words, one minute, two minutes, ten minutes. Still, you will not find them separated by much more in most cases. Twins develop within the the same pregnancy.
no but their birthdays are a day apart
No, they are not twins. They're sisters, but they are about 4 years apart.
I think so. My twins are three days apart according to every ultrasound so far. It seems perfectly reasonable that they could be up to a week apart especially considering that is about how long strong sperms keep on working within the right environment. I am not a Dr., but my guess would be it must be possible. Take care While it is possible for non-identical (dizygotic/2-eggs) twins to be conceived apart (and by different fathers!), it's generally not the case. An ultrasound showing twins differing in age by 3 days is not significant given the margin of error for ultrasound technology. Just like most adults are different sizes, so too are babies in utero owing to genetic and environmental factors.
