Woman delivers her second twin baby after 11 weeks of first delivery

Doctors were left in shock when a woman gave birth to her twins in a span of 11 weeks i.e., almost three months. A 29- years old woman from Kazakhstan gave birth to her first premature baby girl and delivered her son 11 weeks after the first delivery. Although it is a medical rarity, it is not unheard.

A woman from Bangladesh delivered her babies in a span of one month. Experts call this Uterus Didelphys (having two uteri) a kind of Mullerian Duct Anomaly.

Uterus Didelphys, also known as a "double uterus," is one of the least common amongst Mullerian duct anomalies. A didelphys uterus is characterized by a complete failure of the Mullerian ducts to fuse leading to separate uterine cavities and two cervices. Usually women with such abnormality face problem in conceiving and may suffer frequent abortions. But, there are cases where double uterus women successfully conceived, carried her pregnancy to term and delivered vaginally without any complications.

The world record of the of Uterus Didelphys was set in 2012 when a woman gave birth to her twins born 87 days apart. Uterus didelphys is surprisingly common — one in 2,000 women have it. There are other similar cases where women delivered babies from each uterus. For example, a woman in Michigan with uterus didelphys delivered two baby girls, one from each side. Similarly, a woman in the United Kingdom with the same condition gave birth to triplets, two of whom shared a uterus, and one of which had its own.

According to media reports, what happened in this case that after delivering the first baby the woman's contraction subsided. Sometimes, when the first-delivered twin is extremely premature, doctors will let the second fetus gestate in the mom's womb until it's closer to term. Similarly, when the woman gave birth to her first baby, she was only 25 weeks into her pregnancy — barely past the threshold at which a baby can survive outside of its mother. By the time her son was born, he'd had much longer to develop inside the womb.
