When my husband was still a boyfriend, I found that my body structure was a little special - I could feel a subtle resistance when I occasionally applauded for love, and I explored myself and found that there seemed to be a longitudinal membrane in the middle of my vagina.
After checking it out, I found that it should be "vaginal mediastinum", which can be surgically removed, and if it has no impact on life, there is no problem in not dealing with it.
So I didn't see a doctor.
After becoming married, I underwent my first gynecological examination during the unit physical examination. At that time, the doctor who was examining me was puzzled and asked me: "Do you know your situation?" "I said, I know I have a vaginal mediastinum. The doctor then said that it seemed that there was not only a vaginal mediastinum, but also a double vagina, and possibly a double cervix, and suggested that I go to the hospital for a check-up.
I have two vaginas? Could there still be two cervixes? It sounds a bit magical. However, when I was newly married, I had no plans to have a baby, and such a strange body structure had never bothered me for 23 years, and my menstruation had been normal, and the matter of seeing a doctor was postponed again and again.
I have two uterus
After a year of marriage, we had a plan to create people, and the pregnancy test was delayed. I finally hung up my gynecological number and underwent a vaginal ultrasound examination.
Sure enough, the double cervix was hammered. In addition to the two cervixes, I actually have two uterus - two independent and complete uterus, and there is a fibroid of more than 3 centimeters in the middle of them, showing the picture of the double dragon playing beads. The doctor said that because the fibroids are relatively small, they do not need to be treated for the time being.
Knowing this result, I was completely confused, and I only remembered asking the doctor: "Then can I still have a baby?" The doctor's answer was ambiguous: "I can be pregnant myself, but it is more difficult than normal people, and the risk of getting pregnant is a little greater than others, and the probability of miscarriage and premature birth will be relatively high." ”
"I'm a deformed person, I probably won't have a baby..." I was full of thoughts like this, and I was depressed for days. In my days of self-pity, my husband gave me great support, he told me very firmly: "The doctor said that you will be in danger of conceiving a baby, then we don't want children, and I really want to adopt one later." ”
How can I give up without trying? After accepting the facts, I began to look up the information and learned why I had such a strange deformity. It turns out that when the baby girl is in the mother's belly, the uterus is originally two halves slowly fused together, and if there is an accident during the fusion process, there will be uterine malformations. The two halves of the uterus are completely unfused, and there will be a double uterus, a double cervix, a double vagina. Luckily, both of my uteruses are healthy and healthy, and the rest of my body is fine, so it's not so difficult to have a baby.

The two bars finally appeared, but there was no good ending
The next year, we insisted on preparing for pregnancy and ushered in good news, and two bars appeared! But my blood test results were not ideal.
Fortunately, during week 7 of the ultrasound, we saw the fetus's small primitive heart canal beating in my right uterus. The doctor told us that we could wait until the 12th week to build a card at the hospital. At this time, my husband and I were relieved to envision the scene of a family of three enjoying themselves.
More than 11 weeks, I suddenly began to have stomach pain, vaginal bleeding, went to the hospital emergency department at night, lay on the B ultrasound bed and heard the doctor's verdict, it turned out that the small heart had stopped beating as early as 8 weeks. I have a surviving miscarriage (expired miscarriage), where the embryo remains in the uterine cavity after death and is not excreted.
Next is hospitalization, uterine clearance, I asked the doctor if the baby is because of my uterine malformations to leave, the doctor told me not necessarily, early embryonic abortion is a lot of natural selection results, may be sperm egg quality is not good, may also be abnormal chromosomes, of course, do not rule out the possibility of uterine malformations.
The strong pregnancy reaction made me feel more at ease
I slowed down for a long time to get out of my grief, and then for a year or two, we suspended the baby plan because of a change of job, a change of city, etc. The time came to 2019, the new life settled down, and we began to continue to create people.
The second time to create people is not so smooth as the first, more than half a year has not been successful, during the epidemic my husband also comforted me: "You see how well-behaved our baby is, I am afraid that the obstetric examination during the epidemic is inconvenient and did not come." "Under the comfort of my husband, I was slightly relieved, but I still secretly resolved to turn to the assisted reproduction department if I failed again." And it was at this time that the little angel finally came and once again settled down in the womb on my right.
At 7 weeks of B timeout, I saw the baby's heartbeat and also saw that the fibroids that were originally 3 cm had grown to 6 cm. The doctor explained that it was more common for fibroids to grow larger under the influence of hormones after pregnancy, and I kept my attention and checked every other week. At 9 weeks, the B ultrasound was done again, and the fibroids grew to 8 centimeters, and then the examination stabilized at the size of 8 to 9 centimeters.
The doctor reminded me that fibroids of this size may compress fetal growth, affect fetal position, twist, etc., plus I have a double uterus, it is likely to miscarry, premature birth.
So, I started the most anxious 7 months of my life.
In the first trimester, I worry every day that the fetal stop two years ago will happen again, after all, the probability of another fetal stop after one stop will increase. So feeling a strong pregnancy reaction became the most comforting thing for me, and the more serious the pregnancy, the more certain I was that the baby was healthy in my belly.
Threatened miscarriage: Uterine fibroids grow up with your baby
When I was almost four months old, my pregnancy was alleviated, and I felt the fetal movement for the first time — as the Internet said, as if a small fish was spitting bubbles in my stomach. But from this time on, I often had stomach pains, my stomach would become hard from time to time, and the position of my left lower abdomen felt like a needle.
Coming to the hospital again, the doctor made a diagnosis: threatened miscarriage.
I burst into tears again.
After taking a week off to recuperate, the abdominal pain did not improve. One night, the frequency of stomach tightness suddenly increased to three or five minutes, and after rushing to the hospital emergency department, I was directly admitted to the hospital and transfused with magnesium sulfate to protect the fetus.
This examination revealed that my uterine fibroids had a reddish appearance. After pregnancy, the baby grows up, the fibroids also become larger under the action of hormones, and slowly the fibroids cannot grab enough nutrients, and necrosis, degeneration, and bleeding due to ischemia and hypoxia. The "pain" of fibroids constantly irritated my uterus, causing contractions to appear, which was why I had a threatened miscarriage.
At that time, only magnesium sulfate was used to inhibit contractions, and the pain caused by fibroids was still tolerable, and no further pain relief and anti-inflammatory treatment were needed for the time being. If the violent fibroids are still uncontrollable, in the words of the doctor: "It is also very easy, first do a surgery to remove the fibroids, more than four months pregnant to do this operation is still relatively conventional." ”
Lying in the hospital with magnesium sulfate for a week, the contractions were temporarily stopped, and I could be discharged. When I was discharged from the hospital, the doctor told me to avoid too much exercise, because as the uterus entered the abdominal cavity from the pelvic cavity, the space for fibroids to move became larger, and too much activity could lead to the fibroids to reverse necrosis, which was even more troublesome.
So, I began the life of a "wasted man" lying in bed except for eating and going to the toilet. Every once in a while, the fibroids would give me a critical blow, and the slight adjustment of the position would hurt me to death, and I could only endure silently with tears.
Until 27 weeks, the sudden surge in contractions sent me to the hospital fetal heart rate care unit.
One more day your baby can stay
Entering the fetal prison room, a dozen large stomachs with probes appeared in front of my eyes, very impactful, and my small belly seemed confused. The fetal monitor took 30 minutes and monitored 7 contractions, which caught up with the labor. However, ultrasound B showed that my uterine opening was not open, the length of the cervix was still 2.9 cm, and I barely had to be hospitalized, so the doctor prescribed medicine to let me continue to go home to protect the fetus.
After 28 weeks, the diagnosis of threatened miscarriage finally became threatened premature birth; after 32 weeks, even if the baby was born prematurely, the chance of survival was greatly improved; after 34 weeks, if the baby was born at this time, as long as the care was appropriate, it was almost like a full-term baby. For more than a month, the contractions were more and less, and the cervical length was short, but finally every time there was no danger, and my mood finally relaxed day by day.
Until 35 weeks, the bear child gave me another critical blow, and most of the day was quiet, without a single fetal movement. I was so worried that I had to go to the emergency room again. During the half hour of driving to the hospital, my husband kept joking with me, trying to ease the anxiety, but to no avail. Until the car turned onto the road in front of the hospital, the little baby suddenly moved. With tears in my eyes, I asked my husband awkwardly, "So let's turn around and go home?" The husband breathed a sigh of relief: "Come and come, see the doctor to find a peace of mind." ”
As a result, neither fetal heart rate monitoring resulted, so I continued to be hospitalized for observation. The little guy was clearly moving in my stomach, but fetal heartbeat monitoring suggested that the fetus was hypoxic.
So I was hospitalized for three days, and I only did one thing — listen to the fetal heartbeat every few hours, and do fetal supervision twice a day. Slowly, the baby's heartbeat became normal.
"2.85 kg,
It's not easy to grow so big! ”
As my baby approached full term, the doctor asked me to choose whether or not to try a vaginal birth, but also told me about the possible risks of vaginal delivery, including difficulty dilating the cervix due to double cervix, fibroids and another uterus hindering childbirth, and a higher risk of bleeding than others.
I think, for safety reasons, let's cut it directly.
It wasn't until I had a caesarean section at 38 weeks and 4 days that I learned about the cause of fetal heartbeat abnormalities – 2 circles of the umbilical cord around the ankle and 2 twists. It seems that this child played with the umbilical cord until he lacked oxygen, and then somehow relaxed the umbilical cord and saved his own life.
At the first sight of my baby, the first thing I said to him was, "How is it so small!" The doctor replied, "2.85 kilograms, depending on your situation, it is not easy to grow so big!" ”
My little baby has gone through so many difficulties with her mother, but she is still strong enough to come here, and I am so lucky to have you.
