Myrtle Corbin & Hannah Kersey
Uterus didelphys is the condition of having a double uterus. In September 2006, Hannah Kersey gave birth to a baby from one womb and identical twins from the other. Although she is believed to be the first with the condition to have triplets, she does have a historical counterpart. Myrtle Corbin (1868-1928) had two pelvises, an anomaly known as Dipygus.

ReplyDeleteMy aunt had a double womb. She gave birth to identical twins, and a single son. My cousins are probably in their 50-60's now?
