A Scots mum who was born with two wombs has given birth to two miracle babies despite being told she wouldn't be able to conceive.
Lynne McDade, 33, was diagnosed with a rare congenital condition called Uterus didelphys at birth and after numerous complications, she was told by doctors that she would not be able to fall pregnant naturally, and if she did, she would likely miscarry.
Lynne, from Johnstone, Renfrewshire, said she spent years coming to terms with the fact she may never become a mum and said she became depressed because of the trauma she had suffered.

"When the doctors found out I was pregnant they basically said it was a miracle. We were all in shock. The baby had implanted in my left womb, which is the smallest of the two, so again doctors were surprised by this.

"Because of my condition I was told I was at higher risk to have a miscarriage and for my baby to be stillborn."
Lynne's 'miracle' son Michael was born on February 16 2018 at 31 weeks weighing a tiny 4lb 4oz . He is
