Quantcast

Whew, ladies, come get into this story, it is really something to hear! SO. After being told by a doctor that they would be unable to have children, a young Pittsburgh couple just gave birth to triplets in a rare double pregnancy. Antonio Livingston and Dee Michelle announced their pregnancies, and how shocked they were, on Instagram, saying:

"Last year, my doctors told me that I wouldn't be able to have kids and would need surgery. But God said otherwise and gave us three healthy babies along with a completely healthy mother!"

Wait, what?! How did she end up pregnant with three babies, y'all?

Well, the parents-to-be are experiencing superfetation, an occurrence in which a second, new pregnancy takes place during an initial pregnancy, or when ovulation takes place while pregnant. This basically means that, although Dee was pregnant at the time, she was able to conceive again due to ovulation (she has dispelled rumors of a double utereus).

And what's even more interesting, one baby was conceived six days before the others and is fraternal while the younger siblings are identical.

 

The couple wrote:

"On January 18, Amani, Amber & Dream made their grand entrance into this world! I only see God when I look at my babies. Thank you God!🙏🏽 I birthed 3 perfect babies at 32 weeks, 1 day gestation. I am beyond for a smooth delivery and most importantly, healthy babies. Everything that I went through during my pregnancy was so worth it when I look at my babies! Amani and Amber are identical (even though these pictures don't look like it) and Dream is fraternal."

And although initially premature, the girls have all been reunited together and are now home with mom and dad.

Studies show that one in 250 pregnancies now result in naturally producing twins, and according to the Center for Disease Control, Black people have a slightly higher likelihood of conceiving twins.And although twin pregnancies are on the rise, triplet births are damn near unheard of in the Black community.

And because of its layers, the internet cannot get enough of this story.

Aries-April-2025-monthly-horoscopes

April is a month to slow down and to fully grasp what has been. The month starts in fiery Aries Season, but we are also in the thick of Retrograde Season as we begin the month as well. Thankfully, Mercury finally goes direct on April 7, after being retrograde mid-March, and communication matters are clearing up. This is a month of mental clarity, a fresh start, and not being afraid to dream a little bigger.

On April 12, there is a Full Moon in Libra, and this Full Moon brings relationship and financial matters full circle. This is the time to let go of what doesn’t make you feel balanced or in harmony and to create space for more peace to enter your life. Venus goes direct in Pisces on the same day, after being retrograde since March 1, and love is healing. With Venus now direct, there are more opportunities for commitment and longevity in love, and there is overall a greater feeling of romance, receptivity, and compassion in the air now.

Turns Out Sober Sex Might Be The Underrated Secret To Better Orgasms

Hmph. I know there has got to be at least three times a week when our grandparents will hear about something that folks present as being revolutionary that causes them to just roll their eyes, shrug their shoulders, and continue to go on with whatever they were doing. Listen, call it old-fashioned thinking if you want to but if you want to avoid a lot of unnecessary regret in this life, hang out with your elders (and actually listen to what they are saying) sometimes — they’ve already been where you are and, since when it comes to them, you can’t say the same, you just might get a few gems (in fact, I can almost guarantee it).

Take sobergasms, for instance. Oh, I’m willing to bet that a senior in your life has mentioned them, just in another way, before. If you’ve never heard of the term, it’s actually a pretty good one because it means just what you think it does: SOBER ORGASMS. And just to make sure that we all are on the same page, it’s sex — that hopefully includes orgasms — that involves very little to no alcohol.
