The condition called uterine didelphys or double uterus happens in less than 1% or about three per 1,000 women according to Dr. Richard Davis, and the chances of getting pregnant in both uteruses is even rarer. Kelsey Hatcher from Alabama is one such medical rarity and although it's a cause for celebration for her and her husband, Caleb, her ob-gyn, Dr. Shweta Patel, considers it a high-risk pregnancy as it is unknown how the baby in each womb would come out at the end of their term.
Doctors are monitoring the growth of each baby and they will especially focus during labor as, depending on the contractions for each uterus, the babies might be born together or separately. It is possible, according to Davis, that the twins will be born hours, days, or weeks apart. At the moment, the tentative date for her babies' birth is December 25th. Currently, the couple already have three children and are considering this to be their last pregnancy.
