Woman born with double vagina and two wombs falls pregnant

A woman born with two vaginas, each with their own functioning uterus, cervix and ovary - has fallen pregnant.

The 30-year-old mum-to-be, identified only as Evelyn to protect her privacy, was born with an extremely rare mutation called uterus didelphys.

The condition develops while the baby is in the womb, when tubes that create the uterus don't fuse completely, leading to two separate structures.

There's also a wall that runs down her vagina, causing it to be separated into two, although the exterior looks like just one.

Evelyn is currently 25 weeks pregnant and she and her fiancé are expecting a baby boy from her right uterus, which doctors told her is the stronger of the two.

The expectant mum says her baby bump even leans to the right since the baby is inside the right uterus.

The baby is growing healthily so far but she is considered to be a high risk pregnancy, and is monitored every two weeks by doctors.

"I can't hold a baby to term because my uteruses are too small and they wont stretch," said Evelyn, from Queensland, Australia.

"I'll probably give birth anytime around 30 weeks and I can't give birth naturally because of the wall, so I have to have a cesarean section."

Evelyn did not discover that she had the condition until she was 20, but she always knew there was something different about her body.

Despite the potential complications she is very excited to become a mom.

She said: "I can't wait. I didn't really have google when I was young, so I didn't really know what a vagina was supposed to look like.

"And you can't really tell until you get up close that there are two openings inside.

"But I always knew something was wrong with me from a young age.

"Tampons didn't work. When I was having sex sometimes it would be uncomfortable because the guy would hit the wall or the penis wouldn't go anywhere so I knew something was wrong."

Evelyn and her doctors were surprised to find out she had a double reproductive system after she visited for a termination.

She added: "When they did the scans to see the embryo in the uterus they said, 'it's not in there'.

"After some time they found it in the other one and that's when they found the whole other set. I was quite shocked, everyone was, because it's so rare."

Uterus didelphys occurs in only one in about every 2,000 women worldwide, according to Scientific American.
 

A year or two after finding out, Evelyn began work in the sex industry - which is legal in Australia.

She said her condition didn't affect her decision but it did help with the work.

"I was able to swap whichever vagina worked better for that guy, I could work a lot more and when I got into a long term relationship I could save one for my personal life," she said.

"It's tough being a sex worker, but this way my sex life wasn't really impacted because I still had another vagina for home."

After eight years of escorting Evelyn grew tired of traveling to another state to work and decided to stop and focus on her non-sex related advertising business and her Onlyfans.
