I would've thought they would've picked something like that up with your first c-section, you're right! Maybe it would be worthwhile asking for your hospital notes relating to both c-sections? It might also have shown up on your ultrasounds - I have a 'tilted' uterus and it was picked up on my first internal scan.
You could probably also ask your OB about it - why nobodies told you before, why you have to wait so long, and why you fell preg so easily this time. Maybe you just need to be a little more careful than others would, but you can actually TTC now, IYKWIM?
I know I have an inverted uterus; they spotted this at my 8-9w scan. But later scans no-one noticed; you can't once the uterus starts growing. Maybe this was the case wtih you? A big baby-filled uterus is all out of shape and the "normal" shape wasn't recognisable?
I would think that it would be quite hard to diagnose an oddly-shaped uterus from a section, tbh, because it's so big and stretched. Maybe you need to have an ultrasound when it's back to "normal" to confirm this diagnosis?
And it's safer to wait a bit between babies when you have sections; give the wound time to heal before you stretch it out again IYSWIM.
Hope you get some answers, maybe ask/write to the doctor who told you that you had a heart-shaped uterus why he feels that and what it actually means for you.
