An American woman with a rare double uterus gave birth twice in two days after an extremely rare pregnancy…
…and a total of 20 hours of labor.
A rare case of pregnancy: A woman with a double uterus gave birth twice in two days
Kelsey Hatcher, 32, gave birth to one daughter on Tuesday and another on Wednesday at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Hospital.
Announcing the arrival of their “miracle babies” on social networks, the happy mother assessed that the doctors were “incredible”.
The girls are described as fraternal twins with rare separate birthdays.
University of Alabama at Birmingham midwife confirmed the trio were fine and told the BBC it was the kind of case most people in her profession “go through their entire careers and never see”.
Kelsey Hatcher was told when she was 17 that she had a double uterus, which the University of Alabama at Birmingham described as a rare congenital anomaly affecting 0.3 percent of women. The odds of a pregnancy in both uteruses — a cavitary pregnancy — were even lower, “one in a million,” according to the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Reported cases in the world are extremely rare. In 2019, a doctor in Bangladesh told BBC that a woman gave birth to twins almost a month after giving birth to a premature baby in her other womb.
