[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, you can't have 2 kids under the age of 12 months old if both were born of you.  Um, if you get pregnant the DAY you come home from the hospital, and it [b]takes 9 months for 2nd baby to develop and be born, the FIRST baby is 18 months of age when 2nd baby is born. [/b] And most people don't conceive the DAY they come home from the hospital, LOL, but a month or so later.  And, um, you can't get pregnant BEFORE the 1st baby is born, biology doesn't work that way. Of course, you can have a 1st baby born at 7 months and get pregnant fairly immediately.

So Irish Twins is 2 close in age, with the oldest being somewhere in the 1 year old department - 18 mos, 19 months, 17 months if the 2nd was a little early, etc.

so OP is right - Irish Twins, oldest is 15 months of age at baby's birth. [/quote]

Check your math.   9+0 does not equal 18.

And while unusual, it is absolutely possible to have children less than 12 months apart.   One "famous" example of this is Michelle Duggar, whose youngest two children are less than a year apart (one was born significantly premature.)

I've met other women who had babies less than a year apart.  My husband is less than 13 months younger than is older brother--so they are NOT Irish twins, but if my husband had been born a few weeks early, they would have been. [/quote]
