This revelation takes twinning to a complete latest level.
An identical twins Sam and Alex Steffes are blowing their 592,000 TikTok users’ minds by claiming that each women could actually be the mother of Sam’s baby girl, Giada.
“When you consider the way you carried and gave birth to this baby, but you might be each genetically considered her mom,” Sam wrote over a video that has greater than 2.1 million views.
“That’s mind-blowing to me. An identical twin problems!” she captioned the post.
This may, in actual fact, occur. An identical twins are created in the identical egg, which implies they share much of the identical DNA. When a twin has children, it’s unimaginable to find out which one is the parent through DNA testing.
The UK’s DNA Diagnostic Centre, which uses men for example, explains: “Even with probably the most advanced technology available today, it could still be unimaginable in any practical or reasonably priced technique to genetically differentiate between the 2 fathers for paternity purposes.”
This also signifies that children of similar twins can be genetically more much like half-siblings than cousins, per a study.
That mind-boggling information sent the TikTok comment section right into a spiral but additionally brought some insight from the kin of other sets of twins.
“Can confirm! Did the 23andMe test and since my mom didn’t do the test but her twin sister did, my aunt showed up as my predicted mom,” one user shared.
“My mom and her twin still argue over who’s my real mom,” one other stated.
“I like this bc I feel so near my aunt (mom’s twin) it’s like having two mothers,” one gushed.
“Like why you needed to do all of the work?!” one other pitied Sam.
“Does the little [one] ever get mixed up about who her mom is when all 3 of you might be hanging out?” one curious user asked.
“She actually doesn’t! She knows who mommy is obviously,” the twins replied.
