Mother with TWO womb gave birth to TWO babies within the space of TWO days (Photos)

Kelsey Hatcher, a 32-year-old woman from Alabama with a rare condition of having two uteruses, recently gave birth to what she affectionately calls her 'twin' girls. The journey to this unique delivery began when Kelsey, already a mother of three, discovered she was pregnant with two babies, each developing in a separate uterus.

The condition, known as uterus didelphys, is an uncommon congenital anomaly occurring in about 0.3% of women.

Despite the complexity of her fourth pregnancy, Kelsey opted for a scheduled induction at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital on December 19. Little did she anticipate the extraordinary nature of her birthing experience.

After a 20-hour labor, she delivered her first baby, Roxi, weighing seven pounds, seven ounces, on December 19 at 7:45 pm. Ten hours later, on December 20 at 6:10 am, her second baby, Rebel, weighing seven pounds, three-and-a-half ounces, entered the world.

The double uterus condition presented a rare challenge for medical professionals, requiring meticulous monitoring and care.

As Kelsey was in labor with one uterus while undergoing postpartum processes in the other, the medical team navigated a unique delivery scenario. While Roxi was delivered vaginally, Rebel, not descending as expected, required a cesarean section.

The medical team, led by obstetrician Shweta Patel and maternal-fetal medicine expert Richard O. Davis, faced unprecedented challenges due to the rarity of Kelsey's situation. Despite their combined 60 years of experience, they had never encountered such a scenario.

The question of whether Roxy and Rebel can be classified as twins arises from the distinct circumstances of Kelsey's pregnancy. While technically not sharing a uterus, the fertilization of two eggs during the same ovulation cycle prompted medical experts to consider them fraternal twins.

Regardless of technicalities, for Kelsey and her family, the birth of their 'twin' girls marks a miraculous and heartwarming chapter in their lives.
