Plus, the small amount of people who experience the same thing
A TEEN has left people scratching their heads by saying her and her sister were both born in 2008 but aren’t twins.
According to TikTok user @amber_andjade, she frequently mentions to others that she and her sibling are not that different in age.
However, when people guess that it’s around two years, she tells them it is even smaller than that.
In a clip on TikTok, she posted: “Jan 2008 and Dec 2008.”
One person replied to the video asking: “How is that even possible…”
However, people were quick to explain: “Her mother got pregnant 3 or 2 months after she was born.”
The social media user said that they are in the same class at school due to their close age.
Others noted that she is a “Irish twin,” a term frequently used to describe infants born less than a year apart.
The term Irish twins was initially used as a derogatory term aimed at Irish-Catholics who emigrated to America.
As Catholics do not believe in contraception, Irish families were often large, with children born close together in age.
One person shared: “damn mom didn’t get a chance to relax.”
Another added: “Your father was so impatient.”
A third commented: “mom really said ‘wow let’s do that again’.”
Three weeks after giving birth, one mother became pregnant, as we previously discussed.
In a video that was uploaded to her TikTok channel, Jemma McCullough revealed specifics of her unusual family circumstances.
Jemma gave birth to a daughter just 10 months after her son was born.
In the UK, the average age gap between siblings is around two years and two months.
Only a small percentage of pregnancies occur within 12 months of a previous birth.
A US-based study found that about 0.2 per cent of women gave birth twice within the same calendar year.
