Kelsey Hatcher has three children and is pregnant with twins. This is news because Kelsey was born with two uteruses, and twins are in each of the uterine cavities. It was in May that a 32-year-old young mother from Alabama (USA) found out that she was pregnant with twins and that each fetus has its own uterus.
“She most likely had a separate ovulation and one egg went into each fallopian tube,” explained Shweta Patel, an obstetrician treating Hatcher. ABC.
The doctor said that, most likely, “sperm moved to each uterus and fertilization occurred separately.” The babies are due on Christmas Day and may require two Caesarean sections.
A bilateral uterus is a congenital malformation that affects three in a thousand women and is often associated with a high risk of complications. Although rare, pregnancy in both uteruses can happen, as in 2022, when Englishwoman Jade Buckingham gave birth to twins with different skin tones, or in 2019, when Arifa Sultana from Bangladesh gave birth to two children 26 days apart.
