Pregnant in Two Wombs
7.30pm - 8.30pm SBS
Tuesday 18 July 2006
This documentary features Claire, who is expecting two babies from two wombs. Claire, 34, was born with two wombs and two vaginas. She was told by doctors that because her wombs are half-sized she might never be able to have children, but in October 2004 - against odds of one million to one - she conceived in both her wombs at once. This documentary follows Claire and her husband David through this risky and emotionally charged pregnancy. Claire is carrying a boy in one of her wombs and a girl in the other and has been told that she has a one in four chance of giving birth to her babies prematurely. She must live with the fear that she may lose one or both of them. Consultant obstetrician and multiple birth specialist Myles Taylor of Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital knows that Claire is one of only 70 women in world medical history known to have been pregnant in two wombs. He keeps a very careful watch on the pregnancy, scanning the babies at least every fortnight, and cares for Claire as she faces a series of crises, including a potentially life-threatening blood clot and worries about the growth of the girl's head. This documentary follows Claire's exceptional pregnancy, from 24 weeks to the birth of her babies and beyond.
