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

23 Feb 2009 10:32 AM

It's so nice to have a forum to discuss what is happening to all of us. I had a miscarriage at 13 weeks in July of 2007 after spotting in both June and July. It was devastating to know that I was going to lose the baby that I wanted so much. Between my uterus and my ovaries, it had taken a year to get pregnant.

I got pregnant again in July of 2008 and carried my little one for almost 39 weeks when he decided to kick the mucus plug out and be born. That was at about 7:00 PM. When the doctor went in to check how dilated I was, she thought she felt a foot and a rear end. They brought in the ultrasound to see how he was placed and he was indeed foot down. They prepped me for a C-section.

He had some breathing problems because of being a little over a week early and C-section, but everything has been fine since. The doctor told me my uterus is actually shaped like a mitten and not a heart. She could not see that the two parts of my uterus are connected at all; however I have one ovary attached to the thumb side of the mitten and one to the hand side of the mitten. It not only explained why I was having so many issues getting pregnant but also why I had an issue staying pregnant.

As of today, I am 12 weeks along with my 3rd pregnancy and everything seems fine. I have had 0 spotting and no issues. Hopefully all goes well and I can post in August that I have my second child.
