DORA, Alabama After bearing one baby in each uterus, an Alabama woman with two uteri and two cervixes gave birth to two children.
Following a total of 20 hours of labour, Kelsey Hatcher of Dora, approximately 28 miles northwest of Birmingham, gave birth to two girls on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to Birmingham’s NBC station WVTM.
At the age of seventeen, Hatcher received a diagnosis of uterine didelphys, or a double uterus. In women, the uncommon congenital disease affects 0.3% of cases, according to a University of Alabama at Birmingham study. According to the article, there is a “estimated one-in-a-million chance” of having a dicavitary pregnancy, or carrying a baby in both uteri.
Rebel was born on Wednesday, while Roxi, the older child, was born on Tuesday. Hatcher said to WVTM-TV that the babies and she are both doing well. She added that her spouse, Caleb, was with her in the hospital.
Hatcher remarked, “That was our first time being just the four of us.” “And truly taking that in, living in the now, and observing the girls together.”
Three children, ages seven, four, and two, already reside with Hatcher and her spouse. These infants will be her last, she declared.
