RE: UNRAVELING THE BIOLOGY BEHIND HETEROPATERNAL SUPERFECUNDATION- twins with different fathers in a pregnant woman

in #stemng7 years ago

This is a really well-written article. Well done! Have you ever heard about a condition called Uterus didelphys? It is a condition whereby a woman has two uteruses instead of one. She can carry two babies at the same time (even from two different men) but both of the babies were not considered as a twin as they developed in two different uteruses. The woman can even have two vaginas which, in my opinion, is freaking weird.

Thanks for this addition, my first reading about Uterus didelphys. A lot of weird terminologies in the medical world though

Yeah, I have heard about that.... Quite rare as well.
Most of those are genetic abnormality during embryogenesis.
Thanks for this, it added more flesh to the discussion
