Woman with two wombs has twins months apart
Sunday Telegraph
By Monica Petrescu in Iasi
(Filed: 09/01/2005)

A woman with two wombs has made medical history by becoming simultaneously pregnant in each of them - and is on course to deliver the second of her twins, two months after the first.

Eight years ago Maricia Tescu was told that she would never have children because, doctors said, a miscarriage had left her infertile.

Now Mrs Tescu, a 33-year-old botanist in Iasi, Romania, has a month-old son, Catalin, and her second baby, also a boy, is due in five weeks.

Although one woman in 50,000 is born with a double uterus, Dr Dragos Dragomir, who heads the Cuza Voda hospital in Iasi, said: "This case is unique because women with a malformation like this cannot usually have babies in both wombs.
