TL;DR Summary

A woman in Alabama with a double uterus is pregnant in both, a very rare occurrence that has shocked doctors and garnered attention for a case study. Kelsey Hatcher, who already has three children, discovered she was carrying twins during her first ultrasound. Each uterus has its own cervix, making her pregnancy high-risk. Only about 1% of women have two uteri, and the probability of having a twin in each is extremely low. The babies, both girls, are growing as expected, but their delivery may be complicated as each uterus could start contracting at different times. Despite the rarity of her condition, Hatcher is overwhelmed by the attention and plans for these babies to be her last.
