Hannah Brown is on the path to recovery. The former Bachelorette contestant revealed that she is now in the midst of her post-surgery healing phase, following the discovery of a rare uterine condition that could hinder her future chances of conception.
"Initially, doctors believed I had a didelphys uterus," Hannah wrote on Instagram on April 27th, explaining that they initially thought she had a double uterus. "But later, they confirmed it was a bicorporeal septate uterus – essentially, my uterus is divided into two sides, which can lead to infertility issues."
Despite this condition, which affects roughly 1.5% of women according to the Cleveland Clinic, the 31-year-old emphasized, "The good news is, it's something that can be treated with surgery."
While Hannah had always envisioned having children with her husband Adam Woolard one day, she noted that "family planning just hasn't been at the forefront" due to her demanding schedule. "I still don't know if I'm ready to become a mom," she admitted. "But it felt like the right time to take a first step – and this was it for me."
In addition to expressing gratitude for Adam and her parents' in-home care, the author of Mistakes We Never Made also took a moment to thank her followers.
"I also know how fortunate I am to have discovered this ahead of time," she continued. "So many women go through loss and disappointment before getting answers, and I'm not taking that lightly. Thank you to those who have shared their stories with me and encouraged me to share mine."
Last year, Hannah detailed her "shock" at being diagnosed with a "double uterus," which prompted her and her then-fiancé to start thinking about their future family plans.
"I definitely think I would like to have a child," she said in a May 2025 episode of Maria Menounos' Heal Squad podcast. "I don't want to miss out on that experience, but I haven't been quite ready yet."
"We'll get there when we get there," Hannah added. "But knowing that [surgery] is something you can take care of when you're ready for that time and not be surprised by it was really helpful."
