Woman with two wombs gives birth

November 7th 2005, 20:26 Jeff Sela

A British woman has successfully given birth to twins from separate wombs. She has a rare abnormality where two wombs develop instead of one. She was also born with two vaginas, but they were surgically combined when she was 21. From the story on Yahoo! News:

“I thought I would never be a mother,” …

“Now I have two miracles. I am full of every possible emotion. Life isn't about my two wombs now—it's about my two babies.”

    K: I'm not a doctor, so I don't know if there any problems associated women with double wombs getting pregnant, but according to this BBC article about one in a thousand women have this condition:

    That story is about another case where a women had triplets in two wombs. That's amazingly unlikely, but it looks like the actual two-womb condition isn't all that rare, so I'm sure it's something that the doctors will know how to deal with.

    All the best to your daughter!
