A woman who was born with two wombs was shocked when she gave birth to twins with different skin colours. Jade Buckingham, 25, welcomed twins, Lanaé and Lavell, now four, in 2018 with "totally different" skin tones and doctors have no explanation as to why.
The twins - who formed from two separate eggs - grew independently in Jade's wombs and had their own umbilical cords and sacs. In February 2014, when Jade was 17, she suffered four miscarriages that required her to have a dilation and curettage (D&C) procedure which clears the uterine lining after a miscarriage.
It was during the procedure that medics detected Jade had a vaginal septum - a partition that divides the vagina into two parts - which they believe she was born with. Doctors at Nottingham University Hospital, Nottinghamshire, said that the condition may have been a contributing factor to the miscarriages that Jade had experienced and told her that she might not be able to have children.
