In a rare case, a woman with two wombs gives birth to twins
A woman with a rare condition called “two wombs,” one twin from each uterus, has been given a “responsible and informative” release at a hospital in northwest China. The event, described as “one in a million,” was reported by Xi’an People’s Hospital in Shaanxi Province. The mother, identified only by her surname Li, gave birth to two babies (a boy and a girl) via cesarean section, the new CNBC reported. . Despite being born last month, Li’s story has taken over Chinese social media, garnering more than 50 million views in recent days, and has been flooded with messages of love and congratulations, which has now reached international media outlets. “It is extremely rare for twins to be conceived naturally in both uterine orifices, and it is rare for the pregnancy to continue to term,” the group said on its official Weibo account. Lee was born with two cervixes and two uteruses, called uterine conditions, which affect one in 2,000 women. The woman had a difficult time achieving her dream of motherhood, as she had started giving birth in a previous pregnancy, but in January, she discovered again during an ultrasound that she was having twins (one in each uterus). After "careful and rigorous" medical monitoring, she "successfully" gave birth to a boy weighing 7lb 19oz and a girl weighing 5lb 30oz, the hospital said.
