Jane Woodhead, 38, from Barry, South Wales, went for a routine smear test and was amazed to be told she had two wombs and two cervixes. She was diagnosed with 'uterus didelphys', also known as 'double uterus', and is one of just three per cent of women who are born with an abnormality. It means a woman can be born with any combination of two wombs, two separate cervixes and sometimes two vaginas. It also makes it possible to be pregnant twice at the same time - with a baby in each womb. The condition carries risks for pregnant women, such as a higher likelihood of miscarriage or bleeding during pregnancy. Ms Woodhead was told she would need IVF to have a baby, so signed up for the treatment, which has a waiting list of up to 18 months. But after feeling unwell she went to her GP and found she was already seven weeks pregnant with baby Grace, born in July.

We reveal how to get the physiques of the stars.  This week: Naomi Watts's arms.

The actress and TV presenter had been diagnosed with colon cancer a little over a year ago. The disease later spread to her lungs and liver.Despite knowing she may only have weeks to live, her death was quicker than many had expected. Lynda was expecting to live until January 2015, and had planned to spend one last Christmas with her family. Such a rapid decline is unusual, but not uncommon, oncologist Professor Karol Sikora told MailOnline. He said: 'It's how most cancer patients want to die - where the final episode is very short.
'It's not uncommon for people to be very well one day and die shortly afterwards.'

Darek Fidyka, 40, is believed to be the first person in the world to recover from such chronic injuries after receiving pioneering treatment from University College London. The fireman from Bulgaria severed his spine after being stabbed four years ago, leaving him paralysed from the waist down. Scientists used cells from his nose to repair the broken link on his back in a medical achievement hailed as more impressive than putting a man on the moon. It comes after the death of actor Christopher Reeve (inset) in 2004, who ploughed money into finding a cure for the condition after becoming paralysed himself in a devastating horse accident.

Time may be running out for Andrew Culliford. The 37-year-old fire officer and father-of-one was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND) in July 2011 at the age of just 34. He was told he had just two to five years to live.

The number of cancer 'refugees' quadrupled in a decade to 15,450 last year, and nearly four times as many Welsh patients are treated in England as the other way round. Coral Wilson, 24, travelled 55 miles while in labour to avoid giving birth in a Welsh hospital (right); cancer patient Annie Mulholland went from Cardiff to London to obtain Avastin (top left); and  Yvonne Mainwaring fears botched surgery cost her 93-year-old father his leg (bottom left). Meanwhile the Welsh government cancelled a visit by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development - which is set to compare services in the four nations of the UK - at 'very short notice'. The stories emerged on the second day of a Daily Mail series on the Labour-run Welsh NHS.

Beth Goodier, 20, from Stockport, suffers from Kleine-Levin Syndrome, also known as 'Sleeping Beauty' syndrome, which dominates her life. Even when she wakes, she can be in a child-like state, confused and not able to tell the difference between reality and dreams. It's thought only around 1,000 people worldwide suffer from the disorder, 70 per cent of them male. Miss Goodier, from Stockport, Greater Manchester, appeared on BBC Breakfast this morning to discuss her situation, which triggers episodes every five weeks.

Marketed as an alternative to liposuction, advocates say cryolipolysis, as it is officially called, uses extremely low temperatures kill the fat cells without affecting the skin. The dead cells are then removed naturally by the body through the liver. Clinics make claims such as 50 per cent of fat in the area being permanently destroyed in one session, with some clients seeing results within 48 hours. But there are medical experts concerned the claims may be just too good to be true - with often devastating consequences. Doctors are reporting cases of patient being left burned, in agony, and possibly scarred, by unqualified practitioners who lure customers in with bargain treatments. 

After three months without sugar, caffeine and alcohol, the three participants (L-R, Angella Johnson, Chris Henry and Antonia Hoyle) experienced monumental changes in weight, attention span and behaviour. The volunteers underwent a battery of health checks as part of a BMI Healthcare advanced assessment which measured their weight, blood pressure, body fat percentage, blood glucose levels, and waist/height ratio. At the end of the experiment, they were tested again with their results analysed by experts.

Husband and wife break years of silence to talk about the debilitating condition that has blighted Jenny's life, and how the search for a cure even involved her having a course of controversial electric shock treatment – ECT – that left her an 'absolute blubbering mess'.

Sarah Ward, 29, and her partner Benn Smith, 31, conceived their triplets Stanley, Reggie and Daisy, just weeks after welcoming their first child, Freddie, with chances of one in 8,000. Together they change 175 nappies and dish out more than 80 bottles of milk every week. The babies were born with odds of one-in-8,000, with the couple expecting to only raise one child amid concerns over fertility. When she discovered she was pregnant, Sarah had in fact only taken the pregnancy test as a precaution after worrying her menstrual cycle was abnormal.

Exercise that requires no effort sounds too good to be true but scientists claim E-fit helps with body-shaping and weight-loss. NADIA COHEN (right) put it to the test with expert Csaba Hegedus (left). This ultra-modern system works by contracting the muscles. You clench your entire body while waiting for the pain to subside.

Annette Malocco (inset), from the West Midlands, had the pioneering operation to remove blood clots from her lungs two weeks ago after suffering for a year with breathing difficulties. The surgery involved putting her into a corpse-like state as a heart-lung machine took over the work of these vital organs and her blood was removed (as seen in picture, left). Although her brain continued to function normally, with no oxygenated blood being circulated in her body, surgeons had just 20 minutes to remove clots from her lungs that were severely affecting her ability to breathe, before her organs would begin to shut down.

Ryan Smith, 17, from Chapel St Leonards in Lincolnshire, was left brain damaged when his bicycle was hit by a van in July 2013. He was left fighting for his life after he decided not to wear a helmet for fear it would ruin his hairstyle (pictured right while in a coma, and before the coma in the inset). Now, after months of rehabilitation he has learned to talk and stand up again (pictured left), and is even back at school where he receives therapy. He says that next he wants to re-learn to walk. His father, Mark Smith (pictured left), says he has 'stuck two fingers up' to many prognosis' which said he would never recover. Mr Smith is campaigning for a change in the law which would make it compulsory for all cyclists to wear helmets on the roads. He said: 'If you put a helmet on it will minimise any impacts that should you sustain them, you won’t put your family through what we’ve been through.’

Peter Lloyd, 42, has been confined to a sofa in his home in St Fagans in Cardiff (left), and is unable to use any electrical gadgets like TVs, phones and CD players in case it causes a severe reaction. Visitors have to leave mobile phones and watches outside and he cannot use mains electricity for heating or lighting his home – forcing him to wash with water heated on a gas cooker and live by candlelight (top right). The former personal fitness instructor first noticed symptoms in his mid-twenties (bottom right) and his condition has gradually declined since. Mr Lloyd, who cannot walk, currently faces being evicted from his home after his landlord became disgruntled that the house was not being heated. He is fighting a campaign for Cardiff Council to move him to a purpose-built wooden hut in an isolated location. Pictures have been taken on a disposable camera due to his sensitivity to digital ones.

Olivia Diamond, from Accrington, died of acute myocarditis - an inflammation of the heart muscle caused by a virus - four days after first complaining of feeling ill with the flu. Myocarditis cases range in cause and severity. Some recover completely, but it can cause serious health problems.

Public health experts advise on how to keep germ free this winter, in a video from Intel. Dr Lisa Ackerley, Professorial Fellow at the Royal Society of Public Health warned of the 'sneeze effect'. Flushing the loo without putting the seat down leads to germs spraying over the cubicle, and possibly landing on the seat and the toilet paper. Then the bacteria could be transferred to people's hands and spread around the office in a matter of hours (pictured bottom left and right). It's known that there are more than 3,000 organisms per square inch can be found on a keyboard (pictured top right) and over 1,600 a computer mouse (pictured top left). Tips to avoid the germs include putting the loo seat down before flushing, using hand sanitizer, washing hands with antibacterial soap for at least 20 seconds and drying hands thoroughly after washing.
