Lesbian Couple Gets Pregnant Together Using Same Sperm Donor
Trying to conceive a child
the old-fashioned way isn't an option for everyone, and it's always
amazing when things work out and you hear a great "feel-good" story
about people finally becoming parents. Being able to
have a child is something that every couple should be able to do --
regardless of whether they are able to get pregnant on their own.
One Lesbian couple in England got married in 2010 and had always dreamt of having a baby together, but figured it would probably never happen because of how expensive fertility treatments can be. But then, they found a man who agreed to be their sperm donor -- which resulted in both of them getting pregnant at the same time! How cool is that?
Anyone who longs for a child is always over the moon after getting a positive pregnancy test result. But can you imagine how amazing the news must have been for these two women when they found that they were both expecting, and realized that their babies would be biological half-siblings? After dreaming of having a family together, the results they got completely exceeded their expectations, to say the least.
Wow. Their entire pregnancy experience must have been so surreal. Imagine sitting on the couch feeling your baby move inside your belly, while at the same time watching your significant other do the same thing -- all while knowing that the two babies are practically twins? Doesn't that kind of make your head spin?
The couple's now three-month old son and daughter were definitely destined to be, that's for sure. In addition to being conceived at the same time, the babies arrived a mere five-days apart! So not only did these women get to experience all of the ups and downs of pregnancy and birth together -- they now get to adjust to parenthood and celebrate their babies' milestones all at the same time. I don't think I can imagine a greater bond than that!

I have been this whole time
my cousin who I have been SUPER close with since we were little just had her baby but we were pregnant together and its been an experience:)
Also my bestfriend was pregnant up until 3weeks ago so we got to go through a lot together as well.
I think its awesome to have someone who understands and is going through it to!
My little step sister who i helped raised Is also pregant and our due date is the same day..... I am really excited she ishaving a boy andi am having another little girl this is her first and my second.... Its fun sharing this time together...
That definitely would be a crazy experience.Obviously something that is never going to happen to me lol But.. my DF has 4 really close/good guy friends that are all married/engaged. and within 7 months all 4 couples have either had their babies already, or are having babies soon. ALL HAVING/HAD GIRLS! So I feel like I've had preggo-buddies. lol
I thought it was fun to be pregnant together but she was less than happy and used ot as a way to attack me. Accused me of getting pregnant to bet her to it (she had been trying 5 months and we got pregnant after one time) then she spent a large amount of time bashing my homebirth plans, I assume bc she was having her second c-sec, I was always supportive of her and she couldn't feel that for me.:-/
But every time I have been pregnant someone I know or a family memeber is. The only time it was a big deal and well did not know till later. Was with my SIL(hubby's brothers wife). She said some not nice things at all.
one of my best friends, sure : )
