A woman with the rare condition of two uteruses delivered twins, one from each womb, last month at a hospital in northwestern China, according to health officials and state media. <\/p>\n
The mother, identified only be her last name Li, welcomed a boy and a girl via caesarean section, the Xi\u2019an People\u2019s Hospital in Shaanxi province said, calling it a \u201cone in a million\u201d occurrence. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt is extremely rare for twins to be conceived naturally in each cavity of the uterus, and even rarer for them to be carried to term,\u201d the hospital said on its official account on China\u2019s X-like social media platform Weibo on September 18. <\/p>\n
According to the hospital, the new mother was born with two cervixes and two uteruses, a condition called uterine didelphys found in about 1 in 2,000 women. <\/p>\n
Her story has captivated Chinese social media and become a trending topic, with more than 50 million views in recent days, many users sharing messages of awe. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a miracle!\u201d one user wrote, while another said, \u201cHow lucky she is!\u201d. Some expressed concern for the mother, one user writing \u201cthis must have been tough and dangerous for her!\u201d <\/p>\n
Li\u2019s story appeared to show a happy outcome after facing such circumstances, with the hospital disclosing she had miscarried a previous pregnancy. <\/p>\n
But in January, Li became pregnant again and discovered during an early ultrasound that she was expecting not just one child but twins \u2013 one in each womb.<\/p>\n
After \u201cclose and strict\u201d medical monitoring, she \u201csuccessfully\u201d gave birth to a boy weighing 7 pounds, 19 ounces and a girl weighing 5 pounds, 30 ounces, the hospital said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
