I have a unicornuate uterus (banana shaped!), with one ovary and a missing kidney as well. Well, sort of. I'm missing a kidney, but there's an ovary where the kidney should be. It doesn't work, though.

Fertility wise, it's kind of a pain in the ass, but it's totally possible. I had our first 5 months ago, and it's really typical for babies to be born pretty damn premature with our little half uteruses, but it doesn't always happen that way. Mine was born just a couple weeks early, with no ill effects.

You'll find that you carry the baby a bit higher than normal and you'll look 9 months pregnant from about 5 months on, but seriously, it's totally possible!

Good luck!

North Koreans tend to have seriously stunted growth because of famine. They were (and still are! It's still happening) so hungry for so long that they are now much shorter than South Koreans.

As a gal who survived leukemia in childhood thanks to a transplant, and survived Hodgkins as an adult, thanks! Seriously, thank you.
