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

09 Nov 2007 01:35 PM

Howdy all. Wanted to share some thoughts on the "split" uterus. I have a completely split uterus, from the cervix it completely branches into two. My husband and I have been married 8 years, and 7 years ago we started trying for children. After many tests, fertility treatments, and such we pretty much gave up and decided to do foster care. Well, we've adopted our son Elijah, he's 4 now, and we're on our way to adopting another foster son. And..............we're pregnant!!! :) I'm currently 28 weeks along, I've been on bedrest for 7 weeks due to bleeding. My doc is trying to get me to 30 weeks, I think I'll make it! I had a cerclage put in at 13 weeks, something I highly recommend as the procedure wasnt anything major and it seems to have helped. Just saw the little man on Wednesday (yes, we're having a boy! prayers please :) ) and he looks wonderful. I guess my point in all this is that it is possible to achieve pregnancy with a split uterus, it may take awhile but DONT GIVE UP! We truly never expected to be able to get pregnant, I actually considered having a hysterectomy last fall. Thank the Lord I didnt!
