Let's Talk About Having a Bicornuate Uterus

30 Dec 2007 04:21 PM

I was just reading the post and I wanted to add my situation to it. I'm 35 now, but when I was pregnant with my first child at 19 I started going into labor at 4 months and kept having issues until I was 7 months and at that time I had to have a C-section. It wasn't until a few months after that, that my doctor discovered that I had a split uterus. He told me that with every child that I have that my uterus will be able to expand more. 3 years later I was pregnant again and I was able to carry her until I was 8 months. I'm in the process of TTC and I'm scared that since it's been so long that I'm going to start right back at only being able to carry my baby to 7 months (so I pray). I do have a question for you ladies. Do you know that it's possible that you only have one kidney? About 8 years ago I started having some bad stomach pain, I thought maybe gallbladder problems. Well I went to the ER and I had an ultrasound done and while the technician was trying to find the problem, I was asked if I donated a kidney or if I was in some accident that took one of my kidneys. Well the answer to that was NO. I told my OBGYN about it and he told me that he should of checked for that when he found out that I had a split uterus. He told me that the uterus and kidneys form at the same time and usually when there is an issue with one that there's usually a problem with the other. My one kidney is healthy, but I had to stop taking any anti-inflammatory because it's not good for your kidney/s. Have that checked out if you haven't already. Anyway just know that you can have a baby, I have 2 health girls 15 and 12 and TTC another. Good luck and baby dust to all.
