“You’re pregnant and have a surrogate? But you’re due first so that means you were preggers first, so what’s the point?" one person asked of the woman's strange situation.

“This baby is due in September,” she said while caressing her bump. “My surrogate is due three weeks after me, and she’s in Colombia.

“The question is will we be able to have this baby, get a birth certificate, get a passport, and make our way to Colombia with this baby all in three weeks?

“There’s a chance it could happen, there’s a chance it could not.”

Jenna then ponders other options: does she leave the baby she carried in the US while she flies to Colombia, or does she send her husband to Colombia while she stays with the baby?

The situation seemed to stump a lot of people online, with many curious about why she had a surrogate if she was already pregnant.

“I’m confused,” one person wrote. “You’re pregnant and have a surrogate? But you’re due first so that means you were preggers first, so what’s the point?”

Jenna has two healthy babies on the way

In a separate video, the mum reveals how she ended up with two pregnancies at the same time.

“The internet went absolutely crazy when they found out my husband has two women pregnant at the same time,” she said.

The Sun reports Jenna and her husband, who have one child together, had struggled to get pregnant with a second for many years, so they decided to use a surrogate.

Jenna then ended up pregnant earlier this year, but her surrogate was already prepared for the embryo transfer in February, so the couple decided to go ahead with it.

Both pregnancies have been healthy, meaning Jenna and her hubby have two babies on the way.
