Uterus didelphys. I heard it first in an episode of Grey's anatomy. Now I just read a case about it.
Uterus didelphys is a rare condition wherein a woman has double uterus and double cervix. A one in a million condition, usually the vagina opening splits into two internally. Most of the time diagnosis happens when couples consult a doctor for reproductive difficulties.
Imagine this: pregnancy has to depend on whether the sperm reaches the right uterus where there is a woman's egg waiting. Suffice to say that pregnancy in a woman with uterus didelphys has to be monitored closely by a doctor. The case is more than special and then delivery would have to be c-section automatically.

I actually have this condition, And i just wanted to corect you on one thing just so others with this condition will know. I am 8 months pregnant in the left side, and while it is true that half the women who get pregnant with uterus didelphys may need a c-section it depends on your body. No two uteri are the same and every uterus reacts differently, some are smaller, some are bigger. My baby is in head down position, and as long as he stays head down I will not need a c-section.
i have uterus didelphys and i was pregnant in the right uterus first and had to have a c-section due to breach presentation. i am now 38 weeks pregnant in the left uterus and will have to have another c-section due to breach presentation again. which my doctor would not have allowed a vaginal birth anyways because he said it was still be considered a vbac and i live in an area where no hospitals allow it.
I have this condition also and I am 39 weeks along and 20 years old. My baby, like Nicoles, is head down and has been for 6 weeks now. I was monitored very closely because I have another condition called Factor V Leiden as well, however, my pregnancy has been overall as normal as the next persons. My doctor says as long as he isn’t breech I can have him vaginally which is what I plan on doing. There is no need for a Cesearean section unless a baby is in distress or he/she is breech (or if there are other medical problems that arise). I thought I would make it known that while it is difficult to conceive with this condition, it is also very possible and should not be treated like a disease.
I have this unique condition as well. I have had 4 pregnancies, 3 live births and one miscarriage (9 weeks). The miscarriage was in my right side, and all of my kids were in the left side. My oldest was delivered via C-section due to being transverse. The other two children were delivered via c-section as well. My doctor would not allow VBAC. In my opinion the risks associated with a vaginal birth with this condition seems risky for a nervous nelly like me.
I have a ud with two cervixes,one vagina, with no septum.the doc told me the left one is totally blocked .I was wondering if its associated with low estrogen levels or any other infertility issue.
I have ud, 2 cervices, and one vagina with a septum. My son was in the right side and delivered vaginally @35 weeks, the septum was removed during his birth as he was stuck, he came out just fine. 21 months later my daughter was in the left side and I again delivered her vaginally. It can happen. I had no troubles conceiving, but was on bed rest at 30 weeks with both pregnancies as I had a hyper excitable uterus and went into preterm labor with both kids. Good luck to those of you out there with this condition, and stop reading all the horror stories like I did. More people out there complain about their troubles than write about the good that comes from being different.
I have a UD with w cervices and one vagina (had a vaginal septum removed). My son was in my left uterus and my current pregnancy (32wks) is in my right uterus. I had a vaginal birth with my son at 40wks +3 days and there is no reason why I won’t be able to have a vaginal birth this time too as she is head down. I had no trouble conceiving either pregnancy and I haven’t had any problems so far – such as miscarriage, incompetent cervix, preterm labour.
I have a double uterus, 2 cervices, and had the septum removed from vagina, only realised there were two after a miscarriage which was followed up by a scan, I have had one miscarriage and four healthy children all born by section due to breech presentation. My eleven year old daughter has just been scanned and has the same condition as myself. I have two more daughters so will have to get them checked! I didn’t theink it was genetic but the chance of us both having the same condition by chance are miniscule. I had few problems and the scare mongering that follows this condition is unneccessary, obviously everyone is different but just get a good consultant and relax.
I also have this condition. I have had 4 pregnancies, 2 live births 1 miscarriage and I am now pregnant with the 4th. My 1st born was born naturally with no complications. My 2nd was miscarried and my 3rd was breech so I had to have a c-section. My Dr. said my uterus fliped with my from my son being breech so I can never have a vbac. I have to always have a c-section from now on. I think it all depends on the woman’s body. Each one of us is unique. I disagree with the artical saying we have to have c-sections. It’s all based on what our bodies and babies do.
