Overview

  • Hannah Brown disclosed her diagnosis of a double uterus, a rare congenital condition affecting about 0.3% of people with uteruses, during a May 6 episode of the Heal Squad podcast.
  • The condition, which involves two separate uterine cavities, can elevate risks of miscarriage and preterm birth but does not preclude successful pregnancies.
  • Brown has not yet undergone exploratory surgery to determine the specifics of her condition but plans to freeze her eggs after her upcoming wedding to Adam Woolard in July.
  • She emphasized her current focus on her wedding and expressed gratitude for learning about the condition early, allowing her to plan for the future.
  • A notable 2023 case in Alabama highlighted the potential for successful outcomes when a woman with a double uterus gave birth to healthy twins, one from each uterus.
