Womb Wonder

Two babies were born from two separate wombs, but weirdly the infants are twins and share the same mother. Briton Claire Miles, 35, was born with a pair of half-size wombs, which makes a successful birth nigh impossible. After defeating incredible odds and giving birth to healthy twins in June, she's one of about 70 women in the world known to have been pregnant in two wombs since 1905. Miles learned of her condition at age 20, and doctors then discovered she also had two cervixes and two vaginas. They were able to combine her two vaginas into one, but decided it was too risky to mess with the wombs. Said Miles, "Now I have two miracles. I am full of every possible emotion. Life isn't about my two wombs now -- it's about my two babies."
