2-womb woman gives birth to twins & then a baby boy, just 26 days apart

A Bangladeshi woman has given birth to twins almost one month after delivering a premature baby boy.
Arifa Sultana, 20, gave birth to a baby in late February, but 26 days later was rushed again to another hospital after feeling pain in her stomach. Doctors found she was still pregnant with twins in a second uterus, and performed an emergency Caesarean. Her twins were found to be healthy and were discharged with no complications. 'We were shocked' Ms Sultana, who is from a rural village, delivered her first baby at the Khulna Medical College Hospital in Khulna district. Just 26 days later, she complained of stomach pain and was rushed to the Ad-din Hospital in Jessore district on 21 March, Dr Sheila Poddar, the gynaecologist who performed the Caesarean told the BBC.
Some media reports put the date as 22 March. "When the patient came in we performed an ultrasound on her and found there were twin babies," Dr Poddar said. "We were very shocked and surprised. I have never observed something like this before." It is unclear why she might have chosen to go to a different hospital.
According to Dr Poddar, Ms Sultana and her husband are "very poor" and she had "never had an ultrasound before", in the run up to her first delivery. "She had no idea that she had two other babies," said Dr Poddar. "We carried out a caesarean and she delivered twins, one male and female." The 20-year-old and her newborns were discharged on 25 March after four days in hospital.
"The babies and her are all healthy. I am very, very happy that everything went well," Dr Poddar said.
