I think truth is sometimes stranger than soap
fiction.
Superfetation is when a female who is pregnant
continued to ovulate and falls pregnant again
in a later monthly cycle- could be same or
different fathers.
Superfecundation is when a woman has sex
with 2 different men in same monthly cycle
and gives birth to twins. The fathers can be
different men.
There has been publicity about both situations
in the news in recent years( mainly US) and
court cases where regular boyfriend has paid
maintenance for both babies but DNA proved
another man was father of one and maintenance
reduced.
There are stats for both type of situation
and is.quite rare in humans. But happens
more frequently.in non-human mammals -
so Perdita pets vet could be right.
I often think.soap.writers scour news/ papers for
storyline ideas - perhaps this is an instance.
But as pointed out - the concern about the
pregnancy may not be twin- related!!

Isn't she leaving? What if they just have her die during childbirth and the child survives. There's medical conditions where you can bleed out/die when giving birth. What if she has that? Would be a good way to write her out of the show and have the baby survive.
Isn't that what happened to Bridget? I think Amber already has signs of pre-eclampsia, with raised blood pressure, dizzy spells and spots before her eyes.
I`m bored with this storyline already...probably because it involves Amber and Josh - two of the most pointless characters in years in my opinion. I don`t want Amber to be killed off though. It wouldn`t be fair on Lauren losing both a husband and a daughter.
