Mother gave birth to twins 26 days after first birth


A Bangladeshi mother has astonished doctors by giving birth to healthy twins 26 days after a first child was born prematurely.

 

Arifa Sultana, 20, gave birth to a baby boy last month through normal delivery, but doctors missed the presence of a second uterus.

“She didn’t realize she was still pregnant with the twins. Her waters broke again 26 days after the first baby was born and she rushed to us,” Sheila Poddar, a gynecologist who treated the woman, told AFP.

Podder carried out an emergency caesarean section to deliver the twins — one boy and one girl — last Friday.

The young woman from Jessore district in southwest Bangladesh was allowed to go home with her three healthy babies on Tuesday. Podder said there were no complications.

“I haven’t seen any case like this in my 30-year plus medical career,” Dilip Roy, chief government doctor in Jessore, told AFP.
