Faye Wilkins has two sets of reproductive organs. It's the result of a rare condition called uterus didelphys.
Doctors warned the Plymouth mum that she'd have little chance of carrying a baby to full-term but, amazingly, after six miscarriages, she went on to have two kids - one in each womb!
"I had surgery to make my two vaginas into one to prevent my uterus rupturing again," she told the Daily Mail.
"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."
As a result of that, Faye experienced five miscarriages.
After getting pregnant the sixth time, however, she was able to carry the baby to term in her left womb and gave birth to Molly, who is now 7 years old.
"Unlike most mums, falling pregnant was actually a difficult time for me and I learnt to not even celebrate the news," she said.
"Doctors had warned me it would be difficult to conceive and after the first miscarriage I didn’t allow myself to get excited."
"With Molly I had a cervical stitch to stop her being born too prematurely as my womb is split in half its half the 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."
Five years later, she conceived again, this time in her right womb, and gave birth to George, who is now 2 years old.
"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."
But Faye reckons she won't be adding to her brood.
"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," she said.
Now, Faye's sharing her story to raise awareness of the condition, and to help others affected to realise their dreams of motherhood may well materialise.
"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."
