A woman with two wombs has given birth to three children in what is believed to the first case of its kind, a hospital official said Friday.

Hannah Kersey, 23, gave birth to three girls in September, said Richard Dottle, a spokesman for Southmead Hospital in Bristol where the triplets were born. The children spent nine weeks in the hospital but the reason was not disclosed.

Separate or partially joined wombs are uncommon, although not rare. About one woman in 1,000 has them, according to Khalaf.

3. I hope she has a wonderful support system

I get exhausted just thinking about people who have twins, I can't imagine triplets! I wish the article had more information though. I wonder why the one baby was delivered 7 weeks early while the twins were kept in. Was one womb stronger than the other? How wild.

Imagine being the same age as your siblings who happen to be identical twins. I wonder if mom will continue giving the "single" kid his/her own room and making the twins bunk together. :D That's what I would do as a parent just for fun.

I dunno. If it was me, I think I'd ask them to remove one.
