Woman with two wombs pregnant with twins in each

AKelly Fairhurst, a 28-year-old woman has discovered she had two wombs and was pregnant with a twin in each. Hers is a unique condition and has been told that her case defies one in 50 million odds. Fairhurst, was told by doctors that she had a rare condition called uterus didelphys, which means she has two wombs and two cervixes. The woman who already has two daughters with her boyfriend, Joshua Boundy, was told the news at her 12-week scan. She told a UK based news outlet, The Sun that the twins could be identical. The condition itself is quite rare but they went on to tell me that it was a one-in-50-million chance for me to conceive twins in each womb. Fairhurst, from Braintree in Essex, was told that her uterus was not fully formed when she gave birth to her second daughter, however, doctors did not diagnose with her uterus didelphys. “With my second baby they said that I might have a bicornuate uterus, which means it’s not fully formed,” she said. “So, when I went for this scan, I was really surprised to learn that I have two of them. I just thought, ‘God, that’s a shock.’ It makes you feel incredibly grateful that this has happened to you and you get to have two amazing babies,” she said. Professor Asma Khalil, an obstetrician at St George’s Hospital in London, told the publication that uterus didelphys is a congenital abnormality that typically occurs in one in 3,000 women. “There are just a handful of recorded cases of women with uterus didelphys who gave birth to identical twins across the world — it is extremely rare. “It can cause problems. In one case one twin was delivered at 25 weeks and the other carried on until late in pregnancy,” the professor said.
