Bangladesh woman with two wombs has twins one month after first birth
A Bangladeshi woman has given birth to twins almost one month after delivering a premature baby boy, her doctor told the BBC.
Just 26 days later, she complained of stomach pain and was rushed to the Ad-din Hospital in Jessore district on 21 March, Dr Sheila Poddar, the gynaecologist who performed the Caesarean told the BBC. Some media reports put the date as 22 March. "She had no idea that she had two other babies," said Dr Poddar."We carried out a caesarean and she delivered twins, one male and female.""The babies and her are all healthy. I am very, very happy that everything went well," Dr Poddar said.One gynaecologist in Singapore said uterus didelphys - the condition of having two uteruses - is"not as rare as people think".
The uterus starts out as two small tubes in a foetus and these normally join together to form one large organ - but if they don't a double uterus may be formed.There are varying estimates as to how common the condition is. It is thought to affect about one in 1,000 women in the UK.
