Kelsey Hatcher, a 32-year-old mom of three was born with a rare uterine anomaly called uterus didelphys, or two uteruses. However, she was not diagnosed with the condition until last spring, when she discovered she was pregnant – in each uterus.
Hatcher said her husband almost didn’t believe her.
“He said: ‘You’re lying,’ I said: ‘No, I’m not,” Hatcher told NBC News.
Uterus didelphys affects about 0.3% of women. The abnormality forms in the female embryo very early in development, around eight weeks gestation, according to fertility researchers.
Haha yeah, pregnancy can be amazing from an objective “wow, humans can really do that, huh?” perspective and also horrifying from a subjective “I’m sorry, you said my intestines are where??” perspective 🥲
As someone who decided to be pregnant for the first time right now, I definitely have a healthy heaping of both—at the same time even! It’s a wild and sometimes darkly hilarious experience.
