Mom born with double uterus delivers hospital's youngest baby.
Within the first couple weeks of finding out she was pregnant, Megan Phipps noticed something was off.
Phipps went to her regular OBGYN, who referred her to a specialist. In this rare case, she was told she was actually pregnant on both her right and left sides. "Because of the special circumstances of mom's pregnancy their chances of survival were less," Brisso said. Many complications could arise due to their extreme prematurity and low birth weight.
Among those born at 22 to 23 weeks, death rates were 97–98% with just 1% surviving without neurodevelopmental impairment. "Basically the only family I had was the nurses, doctors and nurse practitioners that were there helping my baby," she said.Reece stayed in the hospital for 144 days. During this time, Reece received over a"dozen blood transfusions" and"was on a ventilator for 45 days," according to the hospital. As she grew, her lungs and organs developed and got stronger.
