Kelsey Hatcher, a 32-year-old mom of three was born with a rare uterine anomaly called uterus didelphys, or two uteruses. However, she was not diagnosed with the condition until last spring, when she discovered she was pregnant – in each uterus.

Hatcher said her husband almost didn’t believe her.

“He said: ‘You’re lying,’ I said: ‘No, I’m not,” Hatcher told NBC News.

Uterus didelphys affects about 0.3% of women. The abnormality forms in the female embryo very early in development, around eight weeks gestation, according to fertility researchers.

    It’s a tired old cliche, mostly used by dimwits, of little imagination, to feel superior, to something, anything, in a safe way, that won’t get them called bigots.

      As someone who’s family is from West Virginia, it’s really not a big deal. I’ve heard all the incest jokes there are. They’re silly jokes that no one is saying seriously. Some people just need thicker skin.
