"Angie and I both had the look of surprise," said Dr. Steve Terry.

The ultrasound revealed separate babies at slightly different stages of development.

"I'm five weeks and four days in one, and six weeks and one day in the other," Angie explained.

Angie was born with a rare condition called uterus didelphys , meaning she has two uteruses. It was never an issue in her other pregnancies, but this time she conceived in both. The chances of that happening are one in five million, according to her doctor.

"Probably less than 100, so far, worldwide, have been reported; so she's a member of a small, elite club," said Dr. Terry.

What an unusual story, Stephanie. I'm nearly 60, and I've never heard, or read of this condition previously. I remember looking at the ultra-sounds of our, as yet, unborn children. What a shock this must have been. Thank you.

Thanks for seeding this, Stephanie! I'd never heard of it either. I hope the lady doesn't experience truly horrible complications during pregnancy.

Hope the pregnancies go well. I guess one good thing is that they were obviously conceived relatively close together. This is a good thing - when she goes into labor with one, she will probably go into labor with the other. Hopefully they can keep her pregnant long enough for both babies.

    Interesting article, but it brings a couple smart-alec thoughts to mind.... 2 wombs, no waiting.... private wombs for both of them, aren't they special... aka Doug on that one. Does this make her an an emergency womb? I could go on.... but not gonna. Yes, I sincerely hope these two make it ok, but they aren't twins, so how are they going to explain that? Good article Steph, how's the job going?
