Al Ladovich was born with a Didelfic uterus. This is a situation where a woman has 2 wombs where each womb has a separate cavity and its own neck. Rarely to pregnant twins when each twin grows separately in a different uterus.

This is a very rare medical situation that has a prevalence in the medical literature of 1 in 1 million pregnancies, with less than 15 similar cases described so far in the medical literature. Both the condition of the Didelfic uterus and twin pregnancies make the pregnancy at the highest risk, especially for premature births.

Al did not monitor Bliss' pregnancy at the twin clinic under the direction of Prof. Liran Hirsch, who also serves as the director of the high-risk pregnancy department. Due to the complexity of the case, very intensive follow-up was needed. Finally, at week 35, she underwent a caesarean section and the twins got to know each other.

'At the age of 20, long before the pregnancy, I was told I had 2 uteruses and all those years I was afraid the baby would be in the right uterus which is smaller. On the first examination of the pregnancy the doctor almost fainted and it took him ten minutes to tell me that I had a fetus in my womb and from there the pregnancy started full of worries but from the moment I got to Prof. Hirsch I knew I was in good hands and continued the pregnancy until birth. The twins, a son and a daughter, are sweet and stunning and I'm sure that although they have not met so far, they will be the best brothers and friends, 'says Al.
