Rare condition: Chinese woman with two uteruses gives birth to twins from separate wombs

A woman from China is making headlines after giving birth to twins from two separate uteruses.

The woman was diagnosed with a rare condition called, Uterus Didelphys. This condition occurs worldwide only in 0.3 percent of women.

As a result, the Woman has two fully formed uteruses, each one having its set of ovaries and oviducts.

As it is a rare condition, Li's case is even more uncommon as she naturally conceived and delivered two healthy babies -- a boy and a girl, each from a different womb, while she was eight and a half months pregnant.

A senior obstetrician at the hospital, Cai Ying reported Li's pregnancy as 'one in a million event.'

Cai told SCMP, "Being pregnant in each of the two uteruses through natural conception is very rare. We have only heard of a couple of such cases from both China and abroad."

Earlier, Li had faced a miscarriage at 27 weeks. Meanwhile, her second pregnancy saw a carefully prepared medical plan to make sure the safety of both the mother and the babies.
