Andrew Sullivan, An Apology: Bristol Palin Does Have Two Wombs

APOLOGIES to Andrew Sullivan, who posited the notion that Bristol Palin, daughter to Sarah Palin, had two wombs, enabling her to be both mother to Trig Palin and to (Linda) Tripp Palin.

The Mail reports:

When Katherine Harrison collapsed with severe stomach pains just a week before she was due to give birth, doctors at first couldn’t detect the cause.

But as they carried out an emergency Caesarean section they found she had two wombs. Her baby had been growing in one of them, which was half the size of a normal womb.

And bit of digging, reveals this:

Hannah was born with two wombs but only became aware of the rare condition when she gave birth to son Marley, her first child, 22 months ago. But after she became pregnant again, her 12-week scan revealed she was expecting triplets. Hannah conceived from two eggs produced during ovulation - one in each womb.

So apologies to Andrew Sullivan. And a big “show us yer knickers” to Bristol Palin…
