In the video, she revealed that three months after she gave birth, she became pregnant again.

This means that her two children were born just 12 months apart.

Babies born 12 months apart or less are known are Irish twins, meaning that the mum’s two children 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.

In the video, the mum can be seen holding a pregnancy test and laughing hysterically, obviously in shock that she is pregnant again.

“Which one of us is going to tell your father?”, she joked, directing the question at her new born.

Despite the obvious struggles that raising two babies at the same time must have brought to the mother, she appears to have taken it in her stride, and the family seems very content.

The mum shared clips of her two children playing together, and said that they are now “best friends” and are always so excited to see each other.

The mum’s video, has likely struck a chord with many people, as it has racked up over 6.4 million views on the video sharing platform.

One person said: “I genuinely do not understand this.”

Another person said: “Don’t you have to wait for 3 months to be fully healed?”

A third said: “I don’t know how that happens to some people, I am still not properly healed after 3 months”.
