A Bangladeshi mother has stunned doctors by giving birth to healthy twins 26 days after a first child was born prematurely.
Arifa Sultana, 20, gave birth to a baby boy last month through normal delivery, but doctors missed the presence of a second uterus.
Podder carried out an emergency caesarean section to deliver the twins -- one boy and one girl -- last Friday. "I haven't seen any case like this in my 30-year plus medical career," Dilip Roy, chief government doctor in Jessore, told AFP. Hailing from a poor family, Sultana said she was happy with the three children but felt concerned how she would bring them up.
