The story of Kelly Fairhurst is a case that occurs once every 50 million. The 28-year-old, former mother of two children, had a surprise when she went to the gynecologist in the third month of pregnancy, waiting for the arrival of her number three son. The arriving children, she discovered that day from the ultrasound, were actually two: twins, positioned in two different uteri.
Kelly lives in Great Britain and is suffering from a very rare anomaly known as uterus didelphys: it occurs, once every 50 million. The twins, doctors say, are perfectly identical and she was initially shocked by the news.
“I was completely blown away by the idea of also having two cervices. In all honesty, all of this is crazy, “he said, as reported by the Guardian. “This is a very rare but possible case,” explains Dr. Asma Khalil, of the obstetrics department of St. George’s Hospital in London, “Many women have abnormalities in the uterus without even knowing it. It can happen that the egg and the sperm, in a very early stage, divide in two. So it depends on which egg sticks to which uterus. “
