Twenty-year-old Arifa Sultana from southwest Bangladesh gave birth to a baby boy last month through normal delivery, but doctors missed the presence of a second uterus.

Doctors are amazed by the fact that a woman has given birth to healthy twins 26 days after her first child was born prematurely.

Dr. Sheila Poddar, the gynecologist who treated the woman said "She didnt realize she was still pregnant with the twins. Her waters broke again 26 days after the first baby was born and she rushed to us", according to the AFP news report. Poddar carried out an emergency caesarean section to deliver the twins—a boy and a girl, last Friday.

The young woman from Jessore district in southwest Bangladesh was discharged with her three healthy babies on Tuesday. Poddar reported that there were no complications.

Dr. Dilip Roy, the chief government doctor in Jessore, said "I havent seen any case like this in my 30-year plus medical career". Roy questioned the actions of Khulna Medical College Hospital doctors for not detecting the second pregnancy.

Hailing from a poor family, Sultana said she was happy to have three children, however, she felt concerned about how she would bring them up. She told the news agency, AFP, that her husband barely earns 6,000 taka ($70) a month as a laborer. "I dont know how we will manage such a huge responsibility with this little amount."

Her husband Sumon Biswas put up a brave face. "It was a miracle from Allah that all of my children are healthy. I will try my best to keep them happy," he said.
