It's been all over the news today, "Woman With 2 Wombs Has Twins." Two healthy, tiny girls to be exact. She is a Michigan woman who was born with a condition called uterus didelphys. This condition is not common, but even more rare are twin births in women with this conditon! I am totally facinated with weird medical conditions, so of course I looked further into this.
In addition to the Michigan woman, I found a woman in the UK with two wombs that gave birth to triplets. Strangely enough, her babies were also born 7 weeks early, just like the Michigan woman.
A womb transplant??? Yes, it has also been reported that they can now supply uteruses (wombs) for transplant as a way to treat infertility. Crazy!!!!! So far, only 1 uterine transplant has been attempted, and it was very controversial and unsuccessful.
Check back later this week for Macy's 25 Things!
