She revealed that after she gave birth to her first baby, she was so happy to leave the hospital and to no longer be pregnant.

However, a few months later, she found out that she had become pregnant again just three weeks after her son was born.

“I was already 23 weeks pregnant when I found out”, she said.

Jemma gave birth to a daughter just 10 months after her son was born.

Babies born less than 12 months apart are known are Irish twins, meaning that Jemma’s two daughters are technically twins.

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.

The two children are now two and one, and will be in the same school year when they are older.

“I think I was still wearing diapers at that stage.”

Another person said: “But how were you doing that so soon after the birth?”

A third said: “Wait what?

“I had postpartum bleeding and spotting for at least six weeks.”

“It was the hardest thing in the world at the time.”

A second said: “I have two sets of Irish twins and wouldn’t change anything about it.”
