An extremely lucky lady in London, England with two wombs has given birth to
triplets.
There is no other documentation where three healthy babies were born
from two wombs.
The 3 little girls, two identical twins delivered from one womb and a single baby
girl from the other are believed to be the first case of its
kind.
After giving birth by Caesarean to the triplets in September to Hannah Kersey, 23,
the girls spent nine weeks in the hospital.
The babies were born seven weeks early.
Hannah and her partner, Mick Faulkner, said they were "over the moon" at how healthy and happy the girls were.
Kersey said, "They are three lovely and incredible children, all with very different
personalities."
Dr. Yakoub Khalaf, a consulting gynecologist at Guy's and St. Thomas's
Hospital stated that about one woman in every 1,000 has a separate or partially joined
womb so it is not uncommon.
Pregnancies are possible.
They tend to result in premature birth more than half the time. One pregnancy in each womb is almost unheard of.
He said that multiple pregnancies tended to be risky, and that delivering triplets under such abnormal circumstances was even riskier.
Khalaf stated he had identified only 70 cases over the past 50 years
worldwide and triplets delivered from two wombs has never before been
recorded.
