Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Bangladesh woman with two wombs has twins one month after first birth
A 20-year-old Bangladeshi woman was not knowingly pregnant with one baby and twins at the same time. The woman delivered her first baby normally in a hospital and came home happily with her first child. But just 26 days later, she went to another hospital and found that she had twins about to be born. She underwent an emergency Caesarean and had a twin boy and girl. Why could that happen? Why didn’t the twins come out at the same time as the first baby? Didn’t she or her doctor know that she had triplets?
No, the babies were not triplets but one baby and twins because they developed in two different wombs, or uteruses. In fact, it is estimated that one in 1,000 women in the UK has double uteruses. The young mother seems to have ovulated three eggs, and they were fertilized at the same time and became three embryos, one settled in one of the two wombs and the other two did in the other womb. That’s why there were one baby and twins but not triplets.
But why wasn’t she or her doctor aware of her condition before the first delivery? That’s because she and her husband were so poor that she had never taken an ultrasound scan until she was taken to the hospital where she delivered the twins.
Now, the poor but happy young parent working busily with their hands full.
Enjoy reading and learn about this possible but amazing story.
