Hi,

just wanted to tell all those women who have just learned they have
double uterus and probably double cervix and vagina and are pregnant,
that it is possible to have a healthy baby despite this malformation.

I learned I had it when I was 27 and half a year later, after I got
married, I got pregnant. The baby was in the right uterus. At the
beginnig I was told not to expect the baby to survive the first
trimester.  It was a very depressing part of my pregnancy. I was
advised by my doctor to go on a long leave (in my case that meant no
salary and my husband earned peanuts at that time) so I obeyed and
stayed at home for the whole pregnancy. I wasn't in bed but I did
everything rather slowly and tried to decrease the stress level in my
life to the minimum.

Thank God, there were absolutely no complications during the whole
pregnancy. I had a c-section at 39 week (natural birth is perceived as
too risky in the case of this malformation, at least in my country,
and I don't question that) and now I have a beautiful 10 months old
daughter, Zosia.

Have faith,

Kasia
