p2pnet.net OT News:- It’s Christmas - well, almost - the time of year for ‘miracle’ baby stories. And this has to be one of the best yet.

Hannah Kersey, 23, from Devon in England, has given birth to identical twins, Ruby and Tilly, and Grace, a third child.

But the babies were carried in two distinctly separate wombs, called uterus didelphys.

“Although there have been more than 70 recorded instances of women with the condition getting pregnant in both wombs simultaneously, doctors have been unable to find a previous case of triplets,” says The Times Online.

“The girls had to stay in hospital for nine weeks after being born seven weeks early by Caesarean, but have now returned home to their parents,” says the BBC.

The odds of having triplets from two wombs are about 25 million to one, it adds.

“‘We got them here with us just in time for Christmas and it is going to be the best ever,” Metro UK has Hannah saying.
