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

19 Nov 2008 11:15 AM

I am 29 years old and have a bicornuate uterus that is easily seen on ultrasound (not all can be). I have a septum and definite 2 horns but is still one uterus. I suffered 2 miscarriages but shortly after the second was blessed with a natural twin pregnancy. I carried to full term for twins (37 weeks) which is extremely rare with a bicornuate uterus). One of the babies was breech and had fetal growth retardation which was probably due to where he was attached but other than that no problems and they are 3 1/2 years old now and healthy as can be. My mother also has a bicornuate uterus. She suffered one miscarriage to be followed by 4 pregnancies, 3 of which were breech births. I am commenting on this because it is possible to have healthy and successful pregnancies with a bicornuate uterus and just because you have had miscarriages from it, doesn't mean that you won't be blessed with children. The best thing you can do is to try not to stress about it if you are pregnant, take it easy on yourself.
