Ah, ok, here's some brief quotes That is, she has two vaginas, two uteri, and two cervixes.
On the other hand, J's uterus didelphys ... the technical name for her matching lady bits is, according to one of the many gynecologists who've poked around down there over the years, literally one in a million. ... "There's just one hole but internally, it splits into two vaginal canals with a septum between them," J explains.
From there, each vaginal canal leads to its own individual cervix and uterus.
She can apparently have sex in either one, too though one is larger than the other and against all odds she managed to get carry a baby to term though had 2 miscarraiges before that. Periods are a bit tricky too.
Pretty much my reaction too! When i hear about things like that, i always wonder if she was supposed to be identical twins and the two eggs didn't split properly.
there was programme on TV one night last week or maybe this week with a lady who was the same, except she got pregnant in two wombs! I'll look and see if I can see when its it on I might watch it lol
that was an amazing article..but i have tons of questions too. LIke..I wonder if she has two periods..and if so..does she have to wear tampons all the time??? I suppose these wonderings are t.m.i. but wow..I laughed at the many jokes they made..about her not being a virgin in one and then a few weeks later 'cracked the other one open' hahaha.
Apparently yes she has to wear two tampons. There was another article about someone with the same condition in the UK that said that. And someone else i know said there was an article about a woman who had a baby, one in each womb, so twins but definitely fraternal. They delivered them a bit early because there wasn't enough room in the womb so to speak but both were healthy.
