Mystery! Woman With 2 Wombs, Carries A Baby In Each

Shannon Webster, from Basingstoke in Hampshire, had always had unusually heavy periods since she got her first at the 14.

But she had little idea just how unusual her anatomy was.

The 28-year-old welcomed her first child in 2014. But it was only after she suffered a miscarriage two years later that a routine test uncovered that she had two uteruses.

This unusual condition, which is thought to affect about three in every 1,000 women worldwide, is medically known as uterus didelphys.

It also means the medical secretary has two vaginas and cervixes all of which are fully functional.

And in a further twist, scans during her next pregnancy with her youngest child revealed she was carrying him in her right womb, in contrast to her first child who was carried in her left.

Ms Webster said her diagnosis made her experiences of past period problems make more sense.

‘I couldn’t use tampons. I tried to use them but it caused me so much pain,’ she said.

‘Doctors just said I was really tiny. I’d have training pads for dogs on my bed. I had three pads in my pants.

‘I just woke up covered in the morning. I even tried adult pull ups.’

But after she miscarried in 2016, her condition was revealed during an ultrasound: ‘The sonographer said “oh, you are different one aren’t you”. I said “I’m sorry”.

‘She said “you have two wombs it’s very rare”. I was like I have no idea what you are talking about.

‘She was shocked I didn’t know.’

A further MRI scan that same year confirmed she had uterus didelphys.

But doctors were unable to investigate later that year when she discovered she was pregnant again.

After welcoming her son in August 2017 via c-section, ‘they [the doctors] had me out on show for everyone [the doctors] to look at’, she added.

‘It was like I was in a museum. It was so everyone could see my two wombs

While all women born with uterus didelphys have two wombs, only a fraction also have two separate cervixes and vaginas.

Each uterus has its own fallopian tube and ovary.

Many women with the anatomical anomaly don’t even know they have the condition because they don’t suffer any symptoms.

In most cases they are only diagnosed in pregnancy when their condition is revealed by routine scans and tests.

However, some signs of the condition include pain during sex, heavy bleeding, frequent miscarriages and preterm labour.

Women with uterus didelphys are born with the condition which is triggered during their development in the womb.

However, medics don’t yet know what exactly causes it to happen.

It can cause infertility among some sufferers, as it increases the risk of miscarriage because the uterus is smaller and may restrict the growth of a foetus.

Surgery to join a double uterus into one is possible but is rarely performed, unless patients experience severe symptoms.

The procedure removes the internal wall of tissue separating the two vaginas which can help the chances of sustaining a pregnancy.

Less than twenty-four hours to the start of voting in Saturday’s governorship poll in Edo State, a rash of fake news has broken out.

Leading parties in the election have had their fair shares of fake news either indicating the withdrawal of their candidates or disqualification by a Magistrate Court or Supreme Court.

For instance, Olumide Akpata of LP was said to have withdrawn from the race and thrown his support for Asue Ighodalo in a statement that read smoothly and appeared convincing.

THE CONCLAVE sent the statement to Akpata via WhatsApp for confirmed.

He responded by sending the same statement with FAKE NEWS boldly stamped on it.
He said he was set for victory at the poll.

There was also a news flash about the Supreme Court disqualifying Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party, with a sign off: More details coming….

A Magistrate Court in Abuja was also reported to have disqualified Monday Okpebholo of the APC from the poll on account of age falsification.

The APC campaign organisation had swiftly put a lie to the report by deploying the court papers in the circumstance.

Barely 24hours to governorship election in Edo State, no fewer than two governors elected on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday arrived Benin City.

The governors, Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa and Kefas Agbu of Taraba, arrived the state to mobilise support for the party’s candidate, Asue Ighodalo.

Fintiri made this known in a post on his social media page on Friday evening.

He said : “Just touched down in Edo State alongside my brother, Gov. Agbu Kefas, ahead of the September 21st gubernatorial election. We stand united in support of our Official PDP Nigeria candidate, Asue ighodalo, for a brighter future.”

Edo governor, Godwin Obaseki, who is the PDP leader in the state, had earlier cried out over alleged plot by the All Progressives Congress to rig the election.

As at the time of filling this report, it was unclear if other PDP governors would also hit the state for the election

……. As Speed Darlington queries Afrobeats singer, Burna Boy over his Grammy win.

By Ojomah Austin.

Controversial Nigerian rapper, Speed Darlington has sparked controversy with his claims that Burna Boy’s Grammy Award win can be attributed to the influential role of American rapper and entrepreneur, P. Diddy.

Amid allegations against US rapper, P.Diddy, resulting in his arrest, Speed Darlington suggested that Burna Boy had an intimate relationship with Diddy which paved the way for him to win the Grammy.

Speed Darlington’s bold and contentious assertion comes amidst recent allegations surrounding Diddy, who was reportedly arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on charges of human trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.

In a provocative Instagram video, Speed Darlington credited Diddy for Burna Boy’s rapid ascent to international fame and Grammy success, highlighting the American rapper’s significant impact on Burna Boy’s music career.

Speed Darlington openly challenged Burna Boy to disclose the nature of his relationship with Diddy. Suggesting an amorous relationship between the duo, he blatantly asked Burna Boy to reveal how many bottles of oil Diddy used on his buttocks before he was able to win a Grammy.

In his words:

“It wasn’t long after Burna Boy posted a photo of him and Diddy that he won a Grammy Award. Burna Boy, don’t be offended, but how many oils did Diddy use on your nyash before they gave you the Grammy Award?”.
