A woman in northwest China who was born with the rare medical condition of having two uteruses gave birth to twins in September from both wombs.
The woman, surnamed Li, has a condition that affects only 0.3 per cent of women worldwide. Both of her uteruses were fully formed and included ovaries and oviducts, according to China National Radio.
The double ovary condition is very rare, but it is even more uncommon for a woman to successfully give birth.
Li gave birth to a boy and a girl in early September at Xi’an No 4 Hospital in Shaanxi province when she was eight and a half months pregnant.
