AN ALABAMA WOMAN BORN WITH 2 UTERUSES IS NOW PREGNANT IN BOTH OF THEM

 * Kelsey Hatcher was born with two uteruses, which is extremely rare.
 * Hatcher's doctor said only around three out of 1,000 women have a double
   uterus and double cervix.
 * A double uterus can be discovered during a routine pelvic exam, according to
   the Mayo Clinic.

A woman in Alabama born with two uteruses is pregnant in both, a development her
doctors say is so rare that there aren't really any experts on it.



Kelsey Hatcher, who was born with two uteruses and two cervixes, said she has
known for a while that her body is special but was still surprised to learn that
she was pregnant with twins, WVTM , a local NBC affiliate, reported.

"I'm typically not one that likes a lot of attention and doesn't want people to
be talking about all my stuff," Hatcher told the outlet. "And so to be this rare
and kind of out there, I'm like: oh my gosh."

Hatcher, who already has three children, found out she was pregnant in each of
her functioning uteri during her first ultrasound last Spring, according to the
outlet.

"I said, 'Well, there's two of them in there.' And he said, 'You're lying,'"
Hatcher said of the first time she told her husband, Caleb, that she was having
twins.



Richard Davis, an expert in high-risk pregnancies at the University of
Alabama-Birmingham Hospital, told the WVTM that "way under 1%" of women are born
with a double uterus and double cervix.

"Maybe 3 per 1,000 women might have that," Davis said. "And then the probability
of having a twin in each one is really crazy."

According to the Mayo Clinic , a double uterus occurs in a female fetus when the
two small tubes that typically form together to create the uterus instead
develop into individual organs. A double uterus typically causes no symptoms and
is usually discovered during a pelvic exam or imaging tests after a miscarriage,
the clinic says.

When Hatcher does go into labor, Davis said doctors will have to be very careful
to monitor each uterus and determine which one is contracting and if they are
contracting together or separately, according to WVTM.
