Annie Charlotte, 25, from Surrey, was born with a rare condition called uterus didelphys. This means she has two wombs and two cervixes, and in her case, two vaginas. The condition was discovered during a medical procedure when she was a teenager. Doctors have confirmed that both sides are fully functional.
Annie says the condition affects many parts of her life. She manages symptoms, including separate menstrual cycles, with medical support. Doctors have explained that women with this condition can, in rare cases, become pregnant in both wombs at the same time.
After a long-term relationship ended, Annie began seeing two men. She says she does not view this as cheating, as she keeps the relationships separate. She has stated that the two men do not know about each other, and she carefully avoids overlap in her personal life.
Learning about her diagnosis was difficult at first, especially at a young age. Annie says it took time to accept that her body was different. Over the years, she has become more open and confident, no longer seeing the condition as something negative.
Uterus didelphys is estimated to affect around one in 3,000 women. Many are unaware they have it until later in life. While it can increase certain medical risks, doctors say many women with the condition live healthy, normal lives.
