Two Sons from Two Wombs of an Indian Woman

In an extremely rare and unheard of occurence, an Indian woman with two wombs has given birth to two sons.

Rinku Devi, 28, from Bihar, believed she was carrying twins but had no idea of her medical condition, known as uterus didelphys, or double uterus.

Pregnant Lady Least Expected Two Wombs and Two Cervixes
During a pregnancy check-up, a woman was told that she had two sets of reproductive organs.

During labour doctors discovered the mother-to-be had conceived her sons a month apart, during successive menstrual cycles.

"I got to know about having two uteruses when I was already in labour pain," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.

"I didn't know how to react. I was in pain and quite scared. I had not heard of anything like this before. I got to know about the rarity and severity of this condition days after my delivery," she added.

Teenage Pregnancy can Set a Trend in the Family
Girls seem to follow the footsteps of their elder sisters, especially if they had children during their teens.

Gynaecologist Dr Dipti Singh delivered the premature babies, weighing 4lbs 4oz and 3lbs 3oz, at the Mati Sadan Parijat Nursing Home nursing home in Muzaffarpur.

"I knew from her reports that she was carrying twins, but when I understood the situation I was a little taken aback. I had never handled such a case before," said Dr Singh.

Taking Aspirin During IVF Cycle Does Not Increase Pregnancy Chances
There is no compelling evidence to support the routine use of aspirin in women being treated for IVF, a systematic review published in The Cochrane Library observed.

"Rinku was not aware that she has two uteruses despite the fact that she had delivered her first baby four years ago," she said.

Such pregnancies are often fatal for mother and baby, carrying a high risk of miscarriage, premature labour and underweight babies.
