A woman in India who has an unusual condition known as "uterus didelphys" has stunned doctors by giving birth to two healthy boys — one from each of her two uteruses. Each of Rinku Devi's
two boys (who aren't technically twins) was conceived in a separate womb from two different fertilized eggs and, though the largest weighed only 4.4 pounds at birth, both are reportedly
doing well. Some key facts:
It's exceedingly rare. Fewer than 100 women worldwide are known to have the condition. Though Devi, 28, had given birth to another baby four years ago, she didn't even find out that she had
two uteruses or that such a thing was possible until her late July delivery. "I was already in labor pain...and quite scared," says Devi, as quoted by Metro.
