Woman with two wombs and told she can't have kids gives birth to second 'miracle' child

A Scottish woman who was told she could not have children has had an early Christmas present having given birth to her second 'miracle' baby earlier this month.

Lynne McDade was diagnosed with a rare congenital condition called uterus didelphys at birth and, after numerous complications, was told by doctors that she would not be able to fall pregnant naturally. She was also told if she were to conceive, she would most likely miscarry.

Uterus didelphys is a rare congenital condition where the woman is born with two uteruses, with two uterine cavities which are narrower than the typical uterus. The housing officer from Johnstone in Renfrewshire said she spent years coming to terms that she would never become a mother and said she became depressed as a result.
