“Our miracle babies have been born!” 32-year-old Kelsey Hatcher, who documented her extraordinary pregnancy on Instagram, announced on Friday. The two girls not only grew up in different wombs, but were also born on different days: Roxi Layla was born on Tuesday evening at 7:49 p.m. (local time), Rebel Laken at 6:09 a.m. on Wednesday morning.
Her daughters apparently believe that they are so “statistically unique” that “they should have their own birthdays,” Hatcher wrote.
According to Hatcher’s gynecologist’s calculations, the babies should be born at Christmas. Now they were born early enough to be home with their siblings for the holidays: Hatcher and the twins are doing so well that they have already been released from the university hospital in Birmingham, Alabama. Hatcher plans to reveal details about the birth at a later date.
Hatcher has known since she was 17 that she had two wombs. An estimated 0.3 percent of all women are affected by the rare congenital malformation Uterus Didelphys. In May, Hatcher, who was already a mother of three, learned during an ultrasound scan in the eighth week of her pregnancy that she was pregnant with twins this time – and each baby was growing in its own uterus.
According to Hatcher’s gynecologist Shweta Patel, simultaneous pregnancies in both uteruses are even rarer than two uteruses. The probability is therefore 1 in 50 million. The last known case was in Bangladesh in 2019, where the then 20-year-old Arifa Sultana gave birth to twins 26 days apart.
