Woman Finds Out She’s Carrying Another Baby in Womb a Month After Giving Birth

• The incident was reported in a viral post on X, formerly Twitter.

In a rare and surprising medical case, a woman who had given birth just a month earlier was rushed back to the hospital—only to discover she was still carrying another baby.

The story, which gained widespread attention after being shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), revealed that the woman had initially delivered a baby in March, received post-delivery care including stitches, and returned home.

However, weeks later, she began experiencing unusual symptoms and returned to the hospital. Upon examination, doctors were shocked to find a second baby still in her womb. She was promptly admitted and induced into labor again, successfully delivering the second child.

The viral post read:
“There’s a Xhosa lady on TT who gave birth to a child in March, got stitched and went home. Well, a month later, she felt something was wrong with her, it turns out there was another child in her womb. So, she gave birth again. She now has twins that are a month apart.”

The astonishing incident sparked a wave of reactions online, with many users expressing disbelief and others sharing similar rare cases.

Reacting to the post…

@Melo_Malebo: “Idk what’s more shocking, the fact that twins can have different fathers or this one. Also, wasn’t the other one big enough for nurses to see there could still be someone in there ?”

@Fifi_Kumalo: “So the ultrasound didn’t catch the other baby 😳 njani? I know they hide but so confused.”

@Ralph_Nzuza: “When my lil sister got operated they cut the baby on the cheek after the surgery they forgot those scalpels inside her.”

@StraightupGal: “Surely this incompetence is illegal. One can die giving birth, what more when they have stitched your baby up for a couple of more weeks? 🤯😭 Thanks to God she is safe and able to tell the tale.”

@mgwatyu_: “Must have delivered at a clinic via NVD, Not booked so no scan or late booker. Cannot be a cesarean section. The stiching must have just been for tears.”
