Crazy!
A Bangladeshi woman has given birth to twins, just 26 days after her first child was born, reports 7news.
20-year-old Arifa Sultana gave birth her first child, a boy, in late February, according to Dr. Sheila Poddar, a gynecologist at Ad-Din hospital in Dhaka.
Then less than four weeks later, she was admitted to hospital again, “she came to the hospital complaining of lower abdominal pain,” Dr. Poddar said.
After tests, doctors realised Sultana was pregnant with twins, and was given a C-section to deliver them: a boy and a girl.
“All three children are safe and healthy,” Poddar said.
“The mother is also fine.”
Uterus Didelphys.
You might be wondering how this is at all possible, well it turns out Sultana has a condition called 'uterus didelphys'.
This means she actually has two wombs instead of one and was experiencing two pregnancies at the same time.
Because Sultana never had an ultrasound before the first delivery, her twins were a complete surprise, Poddar said.
Uterus didelphys is incredibly rare and chance of two pregnancies happening at once is 1 in a million, according to the National Institutes of Health.
