Individual possessing a uncommon dual uterus delivers twin offspring.
A woman named Li, recognized only by her surname, was celebrated for delivering a pair of twins through a cesarean section, as reported by Xi'an People's Hospital located in Shaanxi province. The hospital declared the event as "once in a million" occurrence.
As per the hospital's announcement on Weibo, a Chinese social media platform comparable to X, it's scarcely common for twins to develop naturally in distinct cavities of the uterus, and even rarer for them to reach full term.
Li's unique condition, wherein she was born with two cervixes and two uteruses, is referred to as uterine didelphys, which affects approximately 1 out of 2,000 women.
Li's dramatic tale has taken over Chinese social media, spiraling into a hot topic, fetching over 50 million views in a short span. Many users left messages expressing wonder, with some remarking, "What a miracle!" and others adding, "She's so fortunate!" While others voiced concerns for Li's health, one user commenting, "This must have been challenging and hazardous for her!"
Li's narrative appeared to have a positive resolution, despite the challenges, as the hospital disclosed that she had previously endured a miscarriage.
However, in January, Li conceived again and discovered during an initial ultrasound that she wasn't carrying a solitary child but a pair of twins, one in each uterus.
With "meticulous and rigorous" medical supervision, Li "successfully" brought into the world a boy weighing 7 pounds, 19 ounces and a girl weighing 5 pounds, 5 ounces, as stated by the hospital.
EDIT: This article has been updated with the correct weight of the baby girl.
The worldwide medical community is fascinated by Li's rare condition, as it's not commonly reported in Asia or elsewhere in the world. After her successful delivery, Li became an inspiration for many women in Asia, proving that miracles can happen.
