A young mother delivered a set of twins nearly a month after giving birth to a baby boy.
Arifa Sultana, 20, and husband, Sumon Biswas, welcomed a premature little baby at Khulna Medical College Hospital, in Bangladesh.
The woman was then sent home to look after her child and she began settling into life as a new mum.
But her world was turned upside down when she was rushed to a hospital a few weeks later after her water broke.
She had an emergency C-section and delivered twins a short time later. The little boy and girl are said to be perfectly healthy.
She has returned to her home in the Jessore district in the southwest of the country with her new arrivals.
Doctors believe the woman had two wombs and managed to carry children to full term in both of them.
Medical expert, Dilip Roy, described such cases as incredibly rare. She told The Tribune, โShe didnโt realise she was still pregnant with the twins.
โHer water broke again 26 days after the first baby was born and she rushed to us.
โThe first baby was born from one womb. The two babies born here are from the other womb. Itโs a rare incident. I have seen such a case for the first time. I had not even heard about such an incident before.โ
