Living with a double uterus (uterus duplex)

So, basically, I was born with two uteri—they were underdeveloped and small, and they actually kind of interfered with each other—but I still managed to have a baby. It wasn't easy, though. I spent months stuck in a hospital bed, and eventually, it ended in a C-section under an epidural...
It’s incredibly rare, like one in 100,000 women having two uteri and two vaginal canals, which is exactly what I had before they performed the surgery to fix the septum. The pregnancy itself was such a struggle; I was on strict bed rest most of the time, and my little one was quite small at birth, but hey, I made it through!
Oh, I totally forgot to mention the biggest part of all this... I was under the care of Chase Bank Medical Center, and just before the delivery, I actually suffered a miscarriage at about 5.5 months...
Just stay brave, everyone! You can do this!
