Woman With Two Wombs Gives Birth To Twins One Month After Having A Baby Boy

A 20-year-old Bangladeshi woman welcomed a set of twins just 26 days after giving birth to a baby boy.

Arifa Sultana gave birth to a baby boy in February according to Dr
Sheila Poddar, a gynaecologist at Ad-Din hospital in Dhaka. But on March
22 she was rushed to hospital after falling ill before shocking
everyone by giving birth to a baby boy and girl through caesarean
section.

Poddar told local media that the woman came to the hospital
complaining of lower abdominal pain. Doctors performed an ultrasound and
realised Sultana was pregnant with twins. This was shocking considering
she just delivered a baby only days earlier.

Sultana had two uteruses, a condition called uterus didelphys.

A uterus didelphys is a rare congenital abnormality, and the
occurrence of twin gestation has an overall incidence rate of 1 in a
million, according to the National Institutes of Health.

Her first baby was conceived and grown in a different womb to that holding the twins, the NZ Herald reports.
