Hayley Scudder sa she got the crazy news when she was expecting her second child. It turned out that she actually has two wombs in her body, a fact doctors didn’t notice at all during her first pregnancy. , experts told her that her condition was extremely rare.
She has two functioning uteruses
34-year-old Hayley, who is from Stockport in Manchester, England, she never had any suspicious symptoms to indicate that anything was wrong with her. The only thing she noticed over the years was that she always had light periods.
When she was expecting her first son, Logan, the doctors noticed nothing unusual. However, when they did an internal examination of her second child at 12 weeks pregnant, they discovered that she really had two wombs. “Months before George was born, they found a second uterus in me when they did an internal scan. The doctors were shocked, they sent about 15 nurses and other specialists into the room. It was like I was famous. Everythingand they said that they had never seen anything like it,” Hayley stated.
Mom added that according to doctors, it could have been possible for her to become pregnant in different wombs at the same time. “Let’s say I’d be six months with George. They said I would then I could also get pregnant in the second womb. I’m glad it didn’t happen,” she said.
Already during the birth of Hayley’s first child, certain complications appeared. Logan did born six weeks early with his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck twice, preventing him from breathing properly. He ended up having to spend 4 days in the intensive care unit. “I conceived Logan in a smaller womb. He was born early because there was no more room for him,” Mom remarked.
At George’s sa everything was going well at first, but then Hayley started bleeding. “When I arrived at the hospital, they told me that they didn’t have anyone there who could deliver him naturally. They also told me that if he was born that way he could break his neck due to the limited space. They offered because they remove the wall between the two uteruses and create one large one. I didn’t know if it would affect my body, so I didn’t want to mess with it,” she explained.
Hayley pointed out that despite the embarrassing births, her two uteruses are not causing any major problems yet. “I have to regularly go for cervical smears. When they say I am when menopause hits, I’ll really feel it twice as much,” she clarified, adding that she doesn’t plan to have any more children. “I consider myself lucky to have what I have, so why mess with it?” she asked.
