I Was Born With 2 Vaginas - Can I Have A Baby? | BORN DIFFERENT

A DANCER has told of how a routine gynaecologist appointment led to the discovery that she has two complete reproductive systems. As a teenager, Paige, now 20, suffered from irregular periods - but didn't think much of it for years. That was until, aged 18, she went for a checkup, and was immediately referred for an MRI scan, which revealed that she has two vaginas, two uteruses, and two cervixes, separated by a thin piece of tissue called a septum. Initially, medics thought she had uterine didelphys, but it has recently been confirmed that she has a similar, much rarer condition called complete septate uterus. "Doctors hadn't seen a patient like me in 10 years," she said.
Last year, Paige decided to speak out about her condition on TikTok, in a bid to raise awareness. And now, while the complications her condition may present in the future remain unclear - especially when it comes to having children - she is determined to not be held back and has even found love with boyfriend Hugh. She said: "We shouldn't feel like we have to hide our bodies. It's our bodies. We were born with them. Let's talk about it."

My mom had this condition. She did have 3 miscarriages, but then had 3 healthy babies. We were all born early and small but all survived. You are a fighter, you will do great. Thanks for sharing your story!

I was born with a bi-corniute uterus (2 uteruses). I could have had 2 different pregnancies at the same time. I say this to tell this young lady that I DIDN’T find out until after my 3rd child. Anything and everything IS POSSIBLE❤️❤️

I got diagnosed with two cervixes and two uterus after I gave birth with first baby. My water broke prematurely with all 4 of my kids which were all about 2-3 months early. Fortunately there all healthy but as long as your closely monitored while pregnant anything’s possible! 💕 I wanted to point out as well my second pregnancy I ended up with fraternal twins but they were both squished on one uterus instead of one on both. They came out the earliest out of all siblings but they were healthy and now thriving 1 year olds. Woman’s bodies can do amazing things 🙌🏻

Her mother raise her lovely and instilled so much wisdom, compassion, and understanding in her...Paige is amazing. You go girl

[silvernails]

She is so brave to share her story, because sadly these kinds of topics are always taken in a jokingly way and it must be so frustating for someone with this condition.

[kaitlynamira]

I thought having two full formed reproductive systems would make it easier for her to get pregnant? Like you have double the chances? But I guess that’s not the case. I hope she’s able to have kids which ever way that happens. She seems like a very nice girl.

damn!!!! 2 periods...bless your heart and way stronger than i could ever be

[CruzLegend]

Why wouldn’t she share her story?? This is so beautiful and empowering!! She deserves all the love and support she can get. Her and her boyfriend are absolutely beautiful!!

[dazed_and_amazed]

I have this same condition, 33 married 10 years and no children. I am not ready to go through everything or trying to conceive. It’s good to hear others have had good experiences with pregnancy and this condition.

My sister in law was born with 2 uterus and she had to not get pregnant in both at same time. She had lots of trouble becoming pregnant but she did. Praying all goes well for you

[wowzatrishiebunz]

This woman is inspirational and I love her bravery.

[epresley]

Poor thing! She seems like such a sweetheart! I hope she’ll have a happy and fulfilling life!

What an impressive young woman, wish her all the very best

I remember a teacher in high school that said she had two uteruses and three kidneys and some numerous extra ribs, that would cause problems and she would have to periodically have surgeries to get them removed.
She said that she was half of a set of identical twins and for whatever reason, the other twin didn't develope but she got some of the extra "parts"
I've never heard of it anything like that since. She was a mother of seven children.

[puglove]

I worked with a woman who had the same condition. I used to say, Carol you're twice the woman I am. She had a baby boy who was born healthy. Never say never. I believe you will have a baby when the time is right. So nice you shared your story. I'm sure you helped someone out there .

[kjdnyhmghfvb]

Can I see it, never crossed my mind...but these questions did
1. Do they only work in conjunction?
2. Is there a septum?
3. Was she a Twin?
4. Can she Sync with herself?
5. Is there a longer menstrual cycle with more eggs being released?

[jambgsu]

I remember being 19 and having half of my reproductive system removed because of a large cyst on my ovary due to PCOS. Being that young and learning I might not be able to have children was devastating. I feel her pain.

[VanDettaDoesGLAM]

Gosh broke my heart when she got emotional. You can tell she wants to be a mama. You are perfect ❤️🙏

[Christian_Girl]

People who say nasty things in these comments need to grow up. I give this young woman credit for sharing her story. It will help others with the same or similar conditions to know they are not alone
Go girl! You are great the way you are!!😊😊😊😊

[kaarntaylor]

Her strength is empowering... God Bless you Paige.. you're an 😇 to other young or old woman who need the strength to get through that!
