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. She gave birth to five children, three from one womb and two from the other, though not all at the same time!

  3. My 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?
