Women say that being in labor is the worst pain you can feel. I am not a lady, but have taken some pretty bad dumps and can’t even imagine that pain. That is what makes this girl’s condition so terrible.
Sophie Loader has a rare medical condition which means she suffers terrible labor pains every time she has her period. She was born with uterus bicornis, which means she effectively has two wombs, but one vagina.
While the left side of the womb is perfectly healthy, the right side would fill up with blood each month and trick her body into thinking it was giving birth
The fake contractions sometimes last up to 72 hours and Sophie says it feels like her insides are ‘being ripped apart’.
‘I’ve been in labor more than 100 times, but only once for real. To say that it’s a pain would be an understatement.’
She’s been hospitalized over 30 times because the symptoms are so severe. The only way to control the pain is through breathing exercises, or gas and air.
Doctors fitted a contraceptive implant, which means she ‘only’ goes into faux-labour once every three months.
Still imagine having to do that every three months!
