Chances of pregnancy in women with a double uterus

The chance of this type of pregnancy is well below 1% in women born with a double uterus and double cervix, according to Noticias Telemundo.

“Perhaps three in a thousand women with this condition will develop it,” says the aforementioned US network.

According to the Mayo Clinic, a double uterus is a rare condition that some women present at birth.

He explains that in the female fetus, “the uterus begins as two small tubes. As the fetus grows, the tubes often join to create a larger, hollow organ. This organ is the uterus.”

The medical institution states on its website that “Women with a double uterus usually have a successful pregnancy. However, this condition can increase the risk of miscarriage or premature birth.”

The family is growing

Kelsey, 32, has three children, ages 2, 4 and 7.

-Well, there are two in there, the woman said to her partner Caleb.

-You are lying?

-No, I’m not lying, Kelsey told the station WVTM13, published by La Tercera.

Kelsey herself said she was shocked to see the presence of another baby on the screen: “I probably laughed for about half an hour. “It was like this wasn’t happening.”

The moment of delivery is still awaiting medical science in Alabama. Richard Davis, a high-risk pregnancy specialist at the University of Alabama Hospital, said, “Many gynecologists can go their entire careers without seeing something like this.”

When the woman goes into labor, the doctors will be as if they were attending a birth class: “It will be crucial to continue monitoring her to understand more about her situation. This way they can see which uterus is contracting and whether they are doing almost the same thing or whether they are different,” explains La Tercera.

On social networks, user Angélica Reyes Velásquez said: “I was born with two uteruses and during my pregnancy with the right uterus, the doctor warned me that I had to take care of myself because I could also get pregnant through the other uterus! Waiting for my next pregnancy.”
