Two-wombed Woman has triplets.
I just thought it was incredible.
Hannah Kersey was born with a rare condition which led to her developing two wombs,
It is understood that only 70 women in the world are known to have been pregnant in two wombs, and doctors say this could be the first reported case of a woman with two wombs having triplets.
Hannah had to have a caesareon in September because it was thought the womb with twins in wouldnt be able to grow enough to support the pregnancy to full term.
The babies are lovely
The twins are Ruby and Tilly the other girl is Gracie.

Wow. Two wombs and triplets. I like Ruby, but Tilly is really nms. Gracie is too cutesy for me, but Grace is ok. It's way too popular for me though.

Wow! Fantastic names too. I love all three names. Although I'd prefer Tillie to Tilly.

They aren't actually triplets, though...I remember reading a while ago about a woman who had two wombs, and had a baby in each at the same time. The doctors told her they weren't actually twins, as the eggs grew in separate wombs, and may not even have been fertilised at the same time.
Anyway, biology lesson aside, I like Ruby and Tilly, not so keen on Gracie though. I do think all of the names sound good together as a set.

I work with a woman who has two uteruses (uteri?), but she only had one baby in one uterus. :b I love Ruby, but Tilly and Gracie are awfully nickname-y for formal names, imo, though that does seem to be a big trend in the U.K. at the moment.

Wow!Thats amazing. And the names, while trendy, are actually normal. What a shock. I'd have thought she would name them Ilee, Lynneleigh and Caitelynne. With that kind of stress I really stunned she didn't snap and go the whole Abcde route.

How odd! Ruby's ma petite soeur, and Tilly is one of mes cousines. :) I love both of those (though I much prefer Tilly as a nn for Matilda, as it is in my family), but Gracie is blegh. Array
