A woman in northwest China, identified only by her last name, Li, gave birth to twins — one from each of her two wombs. The babies, a boy and a girl, were delivered via caesarean section.“It is extremely rare for twins to be conceived naturally in each cavity of the uterus. It’s even more rare for them to be carried to term,” the hospital said on its official account on China’s X-like social media platform Weibo, according toLi’s rare condition affects just 0.3% of women.
Cai Ying, a senior obstetrician at the hospital said such a pregnancy through natural conception “is very rare”. “We have only heard of a couple of such cases from both China and abroad. It’s even more rare that a woman with this condition would successfully give birth after 37 weeks,” she said., Li, whose age has not been revealed, had a miscarriage at 27 weeks in the past. When she discovered she was pregnant again, doctors created a detailed care plan to support her health throughout the pregnancy.The news of the extraordinary birth caught major attention on Chinese social media.
However, others reminded the public of the challenges associated with such a pregnancy, recalling the struggles faced by women with similar conditions.
