Please help me shed some light on this
situation: my boyfriend insists that you
can become pregnant...While you're already
pregnant and you'll just have the second
child after the first (however long the
distance is between the first and second
conception). I think this is totally
bogus but he claims that his ex-girlfriend
read it in a respectable baby book. Is
this possible?

Hell no that is not true you can not get
pregnant while your already pregnant your
egg is already fertilized.

That is not true, you can get pregnant
after you give birth to the first baby and
an egg is released to be fertilized. No
respectable baby book would have something
like that in it...Not even an
disrespectful one. That is just plain
crazy.

I can honestly say I have never heard of
this. There are so many reasons why this
physically couldn't happen, here's a
couple off the top of my head...
First off, once you're pregnant the
hormones in your body prevent ovulation,
without ovulation there won't be an egg to
fertilize, so no pregnancy.
Second, your cervix closes tight and your
body creates a mucus plug so nothing can
get in or out of your uterus...If the
sperm can't get in they can't do their
job.

I must concur with the others...But I must
wonder, because I have read numerous
stories of women who had no idea they were
pregnant because they still experienced
their monthly cycle - heck I read of a
lady who didn't know she was pregnant
until she went into labor! Of course the
child was born 4 months premature, but
it's the principle of the matter.
If a woman is pregnant but still bleeds as
normal every month, that would mean that
the lining of her uterus is being shed.
If that was the case, anything implanted
would go with the blood, wouldn't it? And
bleeding outside of spotting during
pregnancy is usually an indication of
miscarriage. And also if the woman was
having regular periods during pregnancy,
that would mean she was ovulating and that
conception could occur again with
unprotected sex...But that obviously is
not possible.
.......................
So to answer your question, no it is
not possible to conceive a second child
while already pregnant, unless your body
is really really screwed up.

There is no possible way you can become
pregnant when you already are pregnant.
You stop ovulating when you get pregnant.

Wow thats something to make you think lol
but I have to agree, if a woman is
pregnant she will not ovulate. Although
there are the occassional women who do
bleed it doesnt nesciserily mean they are
ovulating. I think its called unavulatory
cycles.
