By Mayo Clinic staff

Many women with a double uterus have normal sex lives, pregnancies and deliveries. But sometimes a double uterus leads to infertility or miscarriage. A double uterus may also cause premature birth or unusual positions of the baby in the uterus, such as bottom down (breech presentation).
