‘Astounding’: Alabama woman with two uteruses is pregnant in both wombs (www.theguardian.com)

Kelsey Hatcher, a 32-year-old mom of three was born with a rare uterine anomaly called uterus didelphys, or two uteruses. However, she was not diagnosed with the condition until last spring, when she discovered she was pregnant – in each uterus.

Hatcher said her husband almost didn’t believe her.

“He said: ‘You’re lying,’ I said: ‘No, I’m not,” Hatcher told NBC News.

Uterus didelphys affects about 0.3% of women. The abnormality forms in the female embryo very early in development, around eight weeks gestation, according to fertility researchers.

At the Science and Industry museum in Chicago they have/had step by step see-through models of a woman's guts before, during, and after pregnancy.

I took a date there and we had a great time. Arrived at that exhibit and we just stood there for a minute, witnessing how jumbled up the post pregnancy innards were.

I said, "I'll never do that to you."

She said, "Thank you."

Haha yeah, pregnancy can be amazing from an objective "wow, humans can really do that, huh?" perspective and also horrifying from a subjective "I'm sorry, you said my intestines are where??" perspective 🥲

As someone who decided to be pregnant for the first time right now, I definitely have a healthy heaping of both—at the same time even! It's a wild and sometimes darkly hilarious experience.
