Precious movie based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire (2009) showtimes are in demand.

Excitement surrounding the film Precious continues to grow as the gripping tale of a young woman’s struggle to overcome her past opens in theaters this weekend. The film’s main character is Claireece “Precious” Jones, an abused teen mother who is dark-skinned, overweight and illiterate.

Precious is about a morbidly obese illiterate teenager living in Harlem.  Her mother is a welfare-scamming foul-mouthed abusive matriarch who resented her daugther because her father “preferred” her since the age of three.  Her father? Oh yeah, he’s got AIDS and has gotten Precious pregnant for the second time.

“This movies stands to raise some issues that need lifting out of the dark,” Dr. Joy Lawson Davis, a diversity educator at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette. He continues “I say more power to the filmmakers, actors, and to Sapphire for having the courage to put this in writing.”

Both Oprah and Tyler Perry endorse Precious, although neither were involved in the movie. Among the cast is Mo’Nique and Lenny Kravitz.

Precious is being widely received as a movie that you must see.  Those interested in Precious movie showings are searching frantically for when the movie is in their area.  Some markets have to wait until November 20 to see Precious.  Some larger areas are able to see Precious starting November 6, according to the Cleveland Pop Examiner.

An Arkansas couple discovered that the already-pregnant wife was pregnant again!

Julia Grovenburg already knew she was pregnant, and was expecting one child. But during an ultrasound, doctors noticed a second heartbeat, and a small hidden second sack.

“When the woman had her ultrasound initially, they saw one sack, one baby developing, and that baby had a certain gestational age; then they noticed a second heartbeat in a child that was much, much younger developmentally,” Dr. Karen Boyle of the Greater Baltimore Medical Center, told ABC News’ “Good Morning America Health.”

Because the babies are at different developmental stages, doctors are sure the babies are not twins! It is believed they were conceived about 2 1/2 weeks apart.

The older child is expected in December 2009, while the second will be born January 2010!

This is an extremely rare condition called superfetation, there have only been 10 documented cases, and most of the pregnancies went through without any concerns.

Superfetation (also spelt superfoetation) is the formation of a fetus while another fetus is already present in the uterus. When there are two separate instances of fertilization during the same cycle, rather than different cycles, it is known as superfecundation. (wikipedia)

Superfetation is claimed to be common in some species of animals, but is extremely rare in humans. It can occur only where there are two uteri, or where the menstrual cycle continues through pregnancy.
