Baby Ollie

Missy Lanning, a daily vlogger, vlogs with her husband Bryan Lanning about their life. Their channel on YouTube , DailyBumps, document their ups and downs in life (aka Bumps) which includes their son Oliver and dog, Karma. However, what most new viewers don't know is that Missy lost two children before having her miracle Oliver. This was due to a Uterine Septum which leads high risks of pregnancy loss.

A Uterine Septum is wall of tissue that divides a woman's uterus in half, often causing miscarriages.
Most Uterine Septum's are the entire length of the uterus and cut straight down, as if it were to make two triangles instead of one. Most women who have this condition were born with it. In most cases during development, two uteri come together to join, however, fail to completely unite. One good side to a Uterine Septum is that it gives off no other side effects or symptoms other then being difficult to conceive(although to some this is a big deal).

Although not all women who have uterine Septum's receive treatment, some woman prefer to get surgery done to cut out the wall tissue in order for the them to have a full uterus. Like the case with Missy after having Oliver. In fact, Missy found out that she had a Uterine Septum after she delivered Oliver, by C-Section. On the day Oliver was born, Missy had started kick counts around 10 am that morning and never felt the baby move for hours. Of course with her history of Miscarriages and Stillbirths she immediately rushed to the hospital. From that point she never felt Oliver kick again. However, once he was delivered, the doctors gave him a breathing mask and made a extremely odd discover. Oliver was growing on the left side of Missy's uterus while the placenta that carried him was on the right. Odd Right? Today, Missy and Bryan happily live in SoCal with their blessing Oliver and family.
