Let's Talk About Having a Bicornuate Uterus - Blog Entry

Hey everyone. I am 22 years old and was diagnosed with a heart-shaped uterus when I was 6 weeks pregnant. The doctors didn't really give me any information on my condition and had me very worried. All I was told is that it causes low birth weight and breech deliveries. When I was 14 wks pregnant I started to spot and was told I had placenta previa. I spotted off and on. The doctors told me that my baby was fine. When I was 17wks and went for my ultrasound I was told that I didn't have placenta previa anymore, which made me feel a lot better. Later on that night I ended up bleeding like I was havin my period. I was hospitalized for a few days and was told that many women bleed during pregnancy that I shouldn't worry. I bled every day like I was on my period and once a week would have a bad bleeding which a bunch of blood would rush out. When I was 21 weeks I had a really bad blood release and was taken by ambulance back to the hospital which they admitted me and said I would be staying in the hospital till I had my baby boy. I was told that I lost quite a lot of blood and if my hemoglobin didn't go back up to normal I will have to go for a blood transfusion. They also told me that my cervix was shortened a lot and would be a miracle if I made it to 24 weeks so that my son would have a fighting chance. Sadly on July 16th/2009 I was 23wks 1day I delievered my beautiful baby boy to a still birth caused from placenta abruption. I am terrified to get pregnant again with a second child because I am scared it will happen again, but reading all these comments and seeing some result in good terms helps my spirits a little better. Its nice to find people who understand my condition. I was just wondering if anyone knew if having a Bicornate Uterus could cause a placenta abruption?
