Twins with Different Fathers

By:
Mark Perloe

Question :

Can a woman become pregnant by two different men at the same time? That is, can she carry two babies, each from a different man, at the same time?

Joe

Answer :

Yes. If she ovulates and releases two eggs in the same months and also is exposed to sperm from two men, she can get pregnant with twins, one fathered by each man. There is no physical problem related to carrying pregnancies fathered by different men.
