Kelsey Hatcher, a 32-year-old mom of three was born with a rare uterine anomaly called uterus didelphys, or two uteruses. However, she was not diagnosed with the condition until last spring, when she discovered she was pregnant – in each uterus.
Hatcher said her husband almost didn’t believe her.
“He said: ‘You’re lying,’ I said: ‘No, I’m not,” Hatcher told NBC News.
Uterus didelphys affects about 0.3% of women. The abnormality forms in the female embryo very early in development, around eight weeks gestation, according to fertility researchers.
I’m thinking delivery has got to be way more complicated? The hormones that trigger childbirth might trigger both? But maybe with a special c section everything will be fine?
Planned induction could also be a way they could go. Induce one, then the other, or else c-section for one or both as mom prefers and doctors feel is safe. Maybe slightly more complicated, but not necessarily more complicated than normal birth. Birth can get pretty wild anyway, or it can go super smooth! Hoping for the best for this family, especially being in Alabama
