Hello everyone.

Well I'm 21 weeks along and so far so good praise the Lord. I had a lot of bed rest so far and have been taking it easy for the most part. I'm thankful that i haven't had any more spotting wich was freaking me out . So i'm just letting everyone know there is hope even with a heart shape uterus like mine. I always remind myself that God is in charge and that if he wants this baby to live well nothing not even some funny shaped uterus will stop it from living because it was God's Will! So have faith girls and good luck to all women suffering with the same condition. THERE IS HOPE!

I am 30 years old. On the 31st of December 2006 I had a miscarriage. I was 15 weeks pregnant. I have a bicornuate uterus. During my pregnancy I had three scares that resulted in severe bleeding and visits to hospital. Each time the doctor confirmed that the baby was fine. Throughout the pregnancy I was spotting and was bed bound. I am having a hard time dealing with the loss and I am very worried that I will continue to have problems and will not be able to carry a baby to full term. I would like to try again as I know the pregnancy road might be very difficult as I am in the high risk category. However, my boyfriend wants to wait a year or two before trying again. I have been with him for three years and live with him. I am not comfortable with the idea of trying again in a year or two years time primarily because I suspect that I will have difficult pregnancy. This is causing a rift in our relationship. I am having a hard time dealing with this and am considering leaving. I don't understand his reasons for waiting. We have a house and he is financial able. I am considering couple counselling but in the end the rejection feels too much for me to do with. Any advice?

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I know all to well what its like to have a miscarriage. And to have this bicornuate uterus (heart shape) . I too am spotting on and off and I pray every day that I'll be ok, but its really in Gods hands. Don't loose hope . Women who have worse shaped uterus' still give birth to healthy babies. So there is hope. Losing a baby isn't just hard for us its hard for our loved ones especially husbands, boyfrends... They suffer just as much . Give it time to heal for both of you. I know that its frightning to think of getting pregnant again and going through this Yet again! I think of it as well and it terrorizes me . But look on the bright side and where there's faith there's hope! I know women who have had more than 8 miscarriages and they still have healthy babies. Who knows why that is , only God knows , our job is to keep trying and hoping for the best. Maybe some time to heal will be good for you , spiritually and phisically and maybe in a yr or two you will change your mind and want to try again. Its hard to see past tomorow when you grieve a loss of a baby , and it stays with you forever, I know because my loss is always in my mind, but we just have to keep on going no matter how hard the road seems to be. I pray you make the right decision and stick it out and try to work on your relationship and hang in there time trully does heal us! Good luck!

God bless you

Hello All.

Its so encouraging to see all the women who have the same problem as me and I feel that there is hope. I too was diagnosed this yr with a bicornuate uterus (heart shape). I'm 30 , and my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 2 and a half yrs. I finally got pregnant in December 2007 and at 6 weeks I started spotting. They did an ultra sound and found that I have the heart shape uterus with the little hooks on top, and thankfully there was a heart beat and we saw the little baby . (Heart beat was 107 at 6 weeks) And my baby is implanted on the right side quite high up there close to the hook. He sent us home and told me I am high risk pregnancy (as encouraging as doctors are lol). I've had a miscarriage a few yrs back and we were involved in a car accident witch didn't help and caused me to finally miscarry. No one picked up that I had the bicornuate uterus in the ultra sound. However getting back to this pregnancy, after spotting on and off at 6 , 7 , 8 weeks.. it seemed to taper off and i had 2 weeks of no spotting. I'm now in my 11th week and i've started spotting a little again , and have had some sharp pains across my uterus , seems right there where the hook is. We are going to go to the doctor again and get an ultra sound to see if the baby is growing ok. I'm just wondering if anyone has had spotting and what your experience was , and if any of you out there have the same thing with the baby implanted on the right side. I'm being hopeful and keeping my eyes towards God. I pray for all of you with the same condition, God knows its a tough road. While so many women take pregnancy for granted. I cherish every moment of it because I don't know what tomorrow brings.
