31 years old Faye Wilkins, from Plymouth, United Kingdom was
diagnosed with a rare condition called uterus didelphys - causing her to have
two sets of reproductive organs this mother born with two sets of reproductive
organs has spoken about how her two children were conceived in
separate wombs. According
to Daily Mail, Faye was warned by Doctors that her chances of carrying a baby
to full term was minimal but miraculously, after six miscarriages, she went on
to have two children - one in each womb.After giving birth to two healthy babies, Molly, seven and George, two, Ms Wilkins is now sharing her story to raise awareness about the condition. Ms Wilkins, a healthcare assistant, said: 'At the age of 14 I couldn’t believe it when doctors told me I was born with two vaginas, two cervixes and two wombs. I was in complete shock as I’d never noticed the condition before as the differences were only internal. All my friends had started their periods but I was only suffering from stomach cramps but nothing else.
As the pain got worse my mum, Polly, took me to the doctors
thinking I had an ovarian cyst because a lump had formed but no-one would scan
me. At least eight months later and multiple visits to my GP, my uterus
ruptured when I went to the toilet and I heard a huge pop and knew something
inside me had exploded. I was in agony, there was so much blood and I rushed to
hospital where doctors examined me and finally diagnosed me with UD. The
condition had caused a blockage and my menstrual blood to build up, which had
reached 12cm in size.
Within two months I had surgery to make my two vaginas into
one to prevent my uterus rupturing again. I was warned after my diagnosis that
it would be difficult to conceive due to reproductive organs being half the
size they should be, making implantation harder.Thankfully though I have my two
little miracles now and I’m just so pleased they were born healthy.'
