Every time Sophie Loader, of Essex, England, has her period, she goes into labor for up to 72 hours. The 23-year-old has uterus bicornis, a rare condition in which she was born with two separate wombs, reports the Mirror.
One womb functions normally, but every month, Loader’s second uterus fills up with blood, resulting in painful contractions similar to what she would feel when giving birth to a baby.
The only thing that helps her cope is breathing exercises, reports ITV.
"I've been in labor more than 100 times, but only once for real,” Loader, who has a 2-year-old son named Chase, said, according to the Mirror. “To say that it's a pain would be an understatement.”
Loader, who says she “wouldn’t wish this on any woman,” first discovered her unusual condition when she had her first period at age 13.
"I was doubled over in agony and my mom had to call an ambulance,” she said, according to the Mirror. “It was terrifying and felt like my insides were being ripped apart."
