US: Woman with two wombs gives birth to twins

A woman with two wombs in the US gave birth to twins. “Our miracle babies are born!” declared the 32-year-old Kelsey Hatcher, who documented her unusual pregnancy on Instagram on Friday. The two girls not only grew up in different wombs, but were born on different days: Roxy Laila was born at 7:49pm (local time) on Tuesday, while Rebel was born in Laken at 6:09am on Wednesday.

Her daughters believe they are so “statistically unique” that “they should have their own birthdays,” Hatcher wrote.
