A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that a woman who conceived three sons with her husband was biologically unrelated to two of them. Doctors posited that the woman herself was part of an nonidentical-twin pair that fused at an early stage of her mother's pregnancy and that only her blood cells are hers, alone, while cells from her eggs and other tissues may have come from her sister's fetus.

It would explain why some people feel they're a girl trapped in a guy's body or vice versa; but then again, some of those people might just be plain crazy too.
 
If this was some sort of parasitic twin, don't you think the doctors would have been able to detect this like in her first trimester?

No, because everything is done by either taking a sample of the amniotic fluid, or some other procedure, but that sort of stuff doesn't even reveal twins. And obviously, sonic imaging isn't going to yield anything.

This is called a chimaera disorder, I think, btw.
