Woman pregnant in two uteruses

An American woman, Angie Cromar, got pregnant with two babies in separate wombs who were conceived almost a week apart. The 34-year-old maternity nurse has a rare condition known as uterus didelphys, which means she has two uteruses. The babies were not twins and were due at different dates.

Medical experts say the chance of conceiving in both uteruses is about one in five million. Less than one hundred people in the world are known to have had "double pregnancies".

Mrs Cromar, who already had 3 children, said she knew she had the rare uterine condition but it had not affected her previous pregnancies. She admitted she was nervous but very excited at the prospect of the double birth.
