Six weeks later, she became pregnant again, despite the fact that she and her partner were using contraception.

This means that in the past year and a half she has only been pregnant for one month.

It is possible to get pregnant again as early as three weeks after giving birth. Therefore, always make sure you use contraception unless you want to get pregnant again.

Jacqueline announced on TikTok that Emma just turned nine months old, meaning she will be giving birth to her third child in two weeks.

Because they are close in age, Emma and her new sibling are considered Irish twins.

Babies born with an age difference of less than 12 months are called Irish twins.

The term Irish twins was initially used as a derogatory term for Irish Catholics who emigrated to America.

Because Catholics do not believe in contraception, Irish families often consisted of large children, born close together in age.

Jacqueline says that people often stare at her on the street when they see her with a small child on her lap, with a pregnant belly.

However, she does not care about the judgement and looks forward to expanding her family.

Jacqueline’s video, which was posted under the username @jacquelinewoodwellhas likely silenced many, as the video has been viewed more than 300,000 times on the video platform.

TikTok users rushed to the video’s comments section to share their thoughts, but many were left confused.

Someone said, “Wait a minute, you’ve been pregnant for over a year?”

Another asked: “Do you mean 17 weeks?”
