Human conception was still basically a total mystery until as recently as 1875. Until 1875, no one in the world knew where babies come from. Ordinary people didn't know, and neither did the scientists who helped shape the modern world.
A single sperm and the mother's egg cell meet in the fallopian tube. When the single sperm enters the egg, conception occurs. The combined sperm and egg is called a zygote. The zygote contains all of the genetic information (DNA) needed to become a baby.

A baby born in Hong Kong was pregnant with her own siblings at the time of her birth, according to a new report of the infant's case. The baby's condition, known as fetus-in-fetu, is incredibly rare, occurring in only about 1 in every 500,000 births.
A double pregnancy, or superfetation, is extremely rare — in fact, there aren't even stats on how often it happens — but it's scientifically possible. We're not saying you should worry about it happening to you, just that you can't say that it's impossible.
People who are born male and living as men cannot get pregnant. A transgender man or nonbinary person may be able to, however. It is only possible for a person to be pregnant if they have a uterus. The uterus is the womb, which is where the fetus develops.
