Men said I was ‘different’ – I didn’t realise I had two vaginas

I’m not definite what is much memorable astir the time I realised I was pregnant…

The information I’d conceived portion filming a foursome for my OnlyFans account, oregon that I’d done truthful successful 1 of my 2 vaginas.

And yes, you did work that right.

I was calved with a uncommon information called implicit uterus didelphys, which fundamentally means I person 2 abstracted and functional reproductive systems with each vagina coming implicit with its ain cervix, uterus and 1 ovary attached to each side. 

Externally, I person 1 acceptable of labia, but erstwhile unfastened I person 2 holes – 1 connected the close and different connected the near side. Sort of similar a double-barrel shotgun. 

It took a agelong clip to uncover what it was, but I’d ever suspected thing was antithetic with me. 

When I archetypal got my period, I’d get extreme cramps and seemed to beryllium connected my play for much longer than different girls my age.

I besides had an highly dense flow. I tried utilizing tampons but they ne'er seemed to work. I adjacent callback arguing with my mum astir it.

‘Tampons don’t work!’ I’d shouted successful vexation to her 1 time, to which she would archer maine I conscionable wasn’t ‘doing it properly’. 

Having ne'er seen different vulva, I wasn’t alert that excavation wasn’t the norm, and speech from my periods, I had small denotation that determination was something unique about me. 

Even erstwhile I started having sex, a mates of guys commented connected however ‘different’ I was, but I didn’t recognize what they meant.

Then, erstwhile I was 20 years old, I accidentally fell pregnant. 

As I was successful nary mode acceptable to rise a baby, I chose to person an abortion. My doctors assured maine everything would beryllium ‘routine’. But erstwhile I woke up successful recovery, I was shocked to larn I was inactive pregnant. 

That’s erstwhile doctors told maine I had 2 vaginas. 

When you person a termination, it’s modular to commencement with a scan to marque definite an embryo exists. Mine proved hard to find astatine archetypal – which I enactment down to the sonographer being inexperienced oregon caller – but was yet recovered connected the acold close broadside of my body.

However, after putting maine nether anaesthetic for the process itself, that’s erstwhile they discovered I had 2 vaginal canals.

‘We wanted to archer you earlier completing the termination,’ they said. I retrieve feeling overwhelmed. 

It was a alleviation to yet cognize what was incorrect with me, but I felt bittersweet excessively that present I would person to opt for the termination a 2nd time. 

However, afterwards, I felt similar I was backmost successful power of my life. 

I yet understood my periods – turns retired I was having 2 periods astatine the aforesaid time, and 1 could sometimes past longer than the different – and the bleeding became easier to negociate erstwhile I started utilizing 2 tampons (one successful each side).

I besides made definite to person 2 pap smears, 2 STD tests and I learned that I tin person thrush successful 1 and not the other.

While this mightiness dependable similar a nightmare to manage, I soon discovered determination were immoderate positives to having 2 vaginas – and chiefly erstwhile it came to exploring my assemblage with confidence. 

Sexual encounters, which erstwhile filled maine with dread implicit ‘different’ comments, were present navigated with pridefulness and became much predominant arsenic a result.

I ever warned caller partners of my information anterior to sleeping together, but it was astonishing however galore lovers didn’t judge maine until I showed them. And their reactions were admittedly mixed. 

Some were terrified, but astir guys loved the situation and, fto maine archer you, enactment is truthful overmuch amended with two. 

As my 2 vaginas space outwards towards each hip, it greatly depends connected the guy’s anatomy arsenic to which broadside feels amended for me. So it tin sometimes beryllium a spot similar ‘sex-tetris’, but that besides means that the possibilities and combinations are endless.

Then, successful 2019, I met my husband. I’d known him erstwhile we were teenagers but we reconnected via Facebook successful our precocious twenties and person been unneurotic ever since.

In December 2022 we got joined and, after a fewer months, helium suggested we commencement an OnlyFans account for a spot of fun.

At first, I was admittedly reluctant – the thought of putting nudes connected the net frightened maine and I disquieted astir imaginable judgement from friends, household and the eventual consequences – but yet I decided we should springiness it a try. 

I did person 2 vaginas to amusement the satellite aft all, speech astir your unsocial selling point!

We began filming big contented unneurotic and honestly, it’s made our enactment beingness and intimacy truthful overmuch better. It’s made america much experimental and much unfastened and even gave america the assurance to semi-open up our matrimony to bask threesomes with others privately.

Still, I ne'er expected we’d autumn large during a foursome (three girls, 1 guy) that was filmed for our page.

Admittedly, my information does marque the chances of gestation overmuch higher and, astatine the time, we were actively trying for a babe truthful we weren’t precisely being ‘careful’ – but I inactive could not judge it erstwhile I turned that trial implicit and it said ‘PREGNANT’ successful immense superior letters.

Though unexpected, we were truthful thrilled and excited. Only, the gestation itself would present necessitate a batch of care.

My specializer explained that, arsenic my uteruses are some smaller than average, I can’t clasp a babe to term. That means I can’t springiness commencement people and would alternatively necessitate a C-section.

‘But there’s nary crushed you can’t person a steadfast baby,’ helium reassured america confidently. 

There were different things to beryllium mindful of during the gestation too, similar the information that I would inactive person breakthrough periods successful the near vagina (my babe was successful my close uterus). This meant my hubby and I had to beryllium cautious not to person enactment connected the near broadside – oregon astatine slightest lone person protected enactment – due to the fact that I could autumn large successful that uterus. 

Technically I could transportation 2 babies astatine the aforesaid clip with antithetic owed dates, though that sounds similar a headache!

Against each odds, our lad was calved via scheduled C-section astatine 37 weeks and weighed astir 4.5lbs. And, conscionable 12 months later, I gave commencement astatine 36 weeks to our girl who was besides 4.5lbs. 

Ever since I learned astir my information I’ve made definite it hasn’t held maine back. It hasn’t prevented maine from doing thing I wanted to, oregon stopped america from having children oregon a mean life.

I genuinely judge our differences marque america beautiful, and that we should observe and clasp them. Goodness knows I have.
