Woman with multiple wombs 'pregnant with two babies who are not twins'


The 34 year-old has a rare condition known as uterus didelphys, which means she has two uteruses.

Mrs Cromar, from Murray, near Salt Lake City, Utah, has been told she is a boy and a girl. They are not twins and are due at different times.

Medical experts say the chance of conceiving in both uteruses is about one in five million.

Less than 100 people in the world are known to have given birth to babies that are not twins.

At her first ultrasound doctors told the delivery and labour nurse that one baby was five weeks and a day old and the other six weeks and a day.

Mrs Cromar, who with husband Joel, 33, already have three children aged under eight, said she knew she had the rare uterine condition but it had not affected her other pregnancies.

But she admitted she was nervous, but very excited, at the prospect of the double birth next year.
