TRIPLETS BORN FROM TWO DIFFERENT WOMBS. Woman with two wombs got triplets, made history. A 23-year-old British woman is thought to have made medical history by giving birth to three babies in two wombs. In September 2006, Hannah, from UK, had twins who were conceived in one womb, and a third who grew in another. The consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist in London, said: "This is so rare you cannot put odds on it. I have never heard of this happening anywhere before. It is quite amazing. Women with two wombs have conceived a baby in each womb before, but never twins in one and a singleton in the other." The apparently unprecedented births are the result of a rare condition known as uterus didelphys, and means her uterus failed to fuse during development. Women with the condition develop two separate normal sized wombs. The babies were conceived from two eggs produced during ovulation - one in each womb - which were fertilized at the same time by two different sperm. One egg then split and produced identical twins while the other developed into a single baby. Ms Hannah discovered that she had uterus didelphys when she gave birth to a nearly two years ago. They told the couple they could terminate all three babies, terminate the twins and focus on the remaining foetus, or keep all three and hope for the best. "It was a terrible position to be in, but I immediately knew I could not put an end to the life of any of my unborn , so we elected to carry all three," said Ms Hannah. Seven weeks early - she gave birth to three girls by emergency caesarean section. The twins, Ruby and Tilly, weighed 2.6lb and 2lb respectively, while Gracie weighed 2.13lb. Kept in the hospital for 6 weeks after which they were home with their parents and brother. The odds against a woman with two wombs having twins, or two single births, are 5 million to one. "We are just over the moon at how healthy and happy the girls are," she said. "They are three lovely and incredible , all with very different personalities. Only 70 women in the world are known to have been pregnant in two wombs, during last century, but not all the babies survived, reports said. "It is quite amazing. Women with two wombs have conceived a baby in each womb before but never twins in one and a singleton in the other." I have hereby posted this blog for you, on the oddity of these triplets born in two different wombs of their mother. I hope it has given you an insight of how the woman's body may bring surprises at times. Below are a few photos on that event. Ms.Hannah has then made a surprising medical history. Thank you for your read and views. Sincerely, Lisa.         |
