So I have a pretty unique condition called 'Uterus Didelphys' which basically means I have 2 complete sets of reproductive organs, 2 uterus's, 2 cervix's. I had my son by elective c-section mainly on the advice of my doctor that my womb wouldn't contract well because it's a different shape than normal and it was 'safer'. He was also concerned my whole pregnancy I would have him early as I have a smaller uterus than most and he assumed it wouldn't hold out. Never the less I had an uneventful pregnancy and carried my son up until my elective c-section with no problems whatsoever.
While I'm fine with the fact I had a c-section, thinking back I don't think it was really necessary and wish I would have been encouraged to try to birth naturally. I've decided to have a vaginal birth for my next baby and attempt either a VBAC or if I get pregnant in my 2nd uterus technically it won't be a VBAC as it wasn't the pregnant womb last time. Crazy right? My only real concern is that my son was pretty big, 9.4lbs! I am nervous about having another big baby and it preventing me from having a natural birth. Does anyone know the chances of having another big baby? I didn't eat well during my pregnancy with my son and I gained a lot of weight, close to 50lbs. My mother told me I'm at greater risk of having an even bigger baby as apparently each baby is bigger than the last and it won't matter if I eat healthily and exercise throughout pregnancy. Can someone tell me if this is true or not?
Sorry for the novel, just thought some back story could be helpful
