A woman in the US who was born with two wombs became pregnant with twins, one baby in each womb. Information published on the website MedicalXpress.
Kelsey Hatcher, a 32-year-old American, knew she had two uteruses since she was 17. This condition occurs in approximately 0.3% of women. Although pregnancy complications occur frequently, all three of Hatcher’s previous children were born healthy and on time. During the routine ultrasound of her new pregnancy, the woman learned that this time she would have twins and that there was a fetus in each womb.
Pregnancy in two uteruses is extremely rare. The probability is approximately 1 in 50 million. The last known case occurred in Bangladesh in 2019, when a 20-year-old woman gave birth to healthy children 26 days apart.
Kelsey Hatcher is expected to give birth at the end of December 2023. Because uteruses can start contracting at different times, a caesarean section may be necessary for one or both babies, depending on how things go.
