Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer Pregnant With Twins
SUNNYVALE (CBS SF) – Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer announced Monday that she is pregnant with identical twin girls and expects to give birth sometime in December.
The CEO of the Sunnyvale-based internet company gave details about her pregnancy on her Tumblr page Monday.
Mayer wrote that said she and husband Zachary Bogue were surprised about having twins, "because I have no family history of twins or any other predisposing factors. However, as I've now learned, identical twins occur by random chance in roughly 1 out of approximately every 300 pregnancies."
The CEO went on to say her pregnancy has been "healthy and uncomplicated." Mayer plans to take limited time away and work throughout her pregnancy.
According to CNET, Yahoo is preparing to spinoff their 15 percent stake in Chinese internet giant Alibaba sometime in the fourth quarter of 2015.
"Moving forward, there will be a lot to do for both my family and for Yahoo; both will require hard work and thoughtful prioritization. However, I'm extremely energized by and dedicated to both my family and Yahoo and will do all that is necessary and more to help both thrive," Mayer said.
Mayer gave birth to a son in 2012.
