Amazing! Mum Born With 2 Veejays Welcomes Babies Conceived in Separate Wombs

A mum born with two vaginas, two cervixes and two wombs, Faye Wilkins, 31, has shared how her ‘miracle’ children were conceived in separate wombs.

According to Mirror UK, doctors had warned her that she may never fall pregnant because of her rare condition – uterus didelphys. However, after six miscarriages, she beat the odds to have two healthy children; Molly, 7, and George, 2 – one from each womb.

Sharing her story, she said,

“At the age of 14 I couldn’t believe it when doctors told me I was born with two vaginas, two cervixes and two wombs. I was in complete shock as I’d never noticed the condition before as the differences were only internal. All my friends had started their periods but I was only suffering from stomach cramps but nothing else.

As the pain got worse my mum, Polly, took me to the doctors thinking I had an ovarian cyst because a lump had formed but no-one would scan me.

At least eight months later and after multiple visits to my GP, my uterus ruptured when I went to the toilet and I heard a huge pop and knew something inside me had exploded.

I was in agony, there was so much blood and I rushed to hospital where doctors examined me and finally diagnosed me with UD. The condition had caused a blockage and my menstrual blood to build up, which had reached 12cm in size.

Within two months I had surgery to make my two vaginas into one to prevent my uterus rupturing again. I was warned after my diagnosis that it would be difficult to conceive due to reproductive organs being half the size they should be, making implantation harder.”

After suffering from five miscarriages, Faye detached herself from the idea of motherhood but finally during her sixth pregnancy in 2008 she surpassed the 12-week mark.

After learning she was carrying the baby in her left womb, Faye went on to have a cervical stitch to help prevent Molly being born too prematurely.

Five years later, after another miscarriage, Faye went on to have George, who developed in her right womb, with her now partner, Lee Welch, 37.

Faye said,

“Unlike most mums, falling pregnant was actually a difficult time for me and I learnt to not even celebrate the news.

With Molly I had a cervical stitch to stop her being born too prematurely as my womb is split in half its  size, meaning it’s much weaker.

Thankfully she was a little fighter and she held on for as long as she could before being delivered by a C-section seven weeks and two days early.

I split from her father during the pregnancy as we wanted different things but I was overwhelmed when the doctor placed her in my arms, I was so happy, I was finally a mum.

Then after meeting Lee we decided we wanted another child, but I miscarried again before falling pregnant with George.

This time I was given steroids to speed up George’s growth so when he was born seven weeks and two days early again he was stronger than Molly meaning he was out of neonatal care sooner…

I’ve always been upfront and honest with men I’ve dated, I wanted them to know that I may never fall pregnant and uterus didelphys is just a part of who I am. Having UD doesn’t make you any less of a woman, your internal organs have just formed slightly differently.

I’ve gone on to lead a relatively normal life, I only have one kidney too which is related to the condition but again I haven’t let this hold me back…I don’t have plans for any more children, I already have two beautiful kids and couldn’t be happier – I’m the luckiest woman in the world.”
