Double Uterus???

[Hahamama]

I have uterus didelphys...my partner and I have just starting TTC. I was originally told I had a bicornuate uterus which is heart-shaped as previously mentioned in this thread. Uterus didelphys (or double uterus) is a more pronounced version. In my case, there are two uterine bodies, but they are still connected at the bottom. I have one cervix and one vagina. Lol, you can have two cervixes and two vaginas, if this is the case, there is one passage which leads out of the body, which then diverges into two vaginas...this is what my OB-GYN told me.

There isn't a lot of great info on the net. You never know what sources to trust. I believe that it is technically possible to fall pregnant twice, one foetus in each uterus, a la Grey's Anatomy, but it is extremely uncommon. My OB told me the main concerns are potentially an incompetant cervix, which he'll check for when I conceive, premature birth (due to the baby not having as much room to grow) and a very high incidence of breech birth (something like 50% versus the usual 3-4%). Which means a higher possibility of C-section.

Hope this helps clear things up for you all!
