Sadie was told she might have a "heart-shaped uterus" in high school.

She was told it was unclear if she had a single uterus with a long septum or two uteruses entirely.

She found out for certain that she had dual uteruses when she got pregnant again after doing IUI , or intrauterine insemination, a fertility treatment.

Having two uteruses is very rare — about 0.3% of the population is born with the condition.

The reason a dual uterus occurs is due to differences in embryonic development.

Dr. Joshua Copel , an ob-gyn and professor at Yale School of Medicine , says it's not something most people need to worry about.
