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

01 Oct 2008 05:29 PM

I am now 25 years old and have known about my bicornuate uterus for about 6 years. I first found out I had a heart shaped uterus when I was pregnant with my first baby. I went for my normal appointment at my six month mark and they could not find a heartbeat. I was told the baby had died in my uterus and I had to give birth to my still born son Cameron. I was tramatized and figured I would never be able to have children. After that pregnancy I had three miscarriages at various stages and then I got pregnant with my little miracle her name Angelina and she is three now. I had a rough pregnancy with her and she was on my right side but like all of you I was on immediate bed rest and I aslo had normal bleeding the whole pregnancy and she was fine. Since my daughter I have had many miscarriages trying to have one more baby and I have recently found out I am pregnant again. I am approximately seven weeks and I went for an ultrasound and I have lakes and lakes of blood in both sides of my uterus's and the doctor was not sure if he saw a heartbeat this week but last week we saw one. He gave me the speech it could be hard to see because of the amount of blood you have but he said if I am to miscarry it will happen and I can't prevent it. I have not been bleeding and I am not in pain so I am confused. My doctor has me coming in again in a week to repeat the ultrasound and if the baby has grown in size then we should be good but I don't know I am so scared. Every time you lose a baby it is hard no matter how far along you are and you find yourself asking what did i do wrong for this to happen but you must remember you didn't. I am blessed to have my daughter but I so urge to have one more. I also take a lot of meds when pregnant so if you guys are on them they may help during the first trimester. I take prometrium which highers your hormones for the baby and I am also now taking baby asprin every day for better circulation for the baby. I will keep you guys posted and it is so nice to hear people understand how it is because at every doctor I've been too I am the only patient with this uterus. I wish all of you the best of luck and god bless.
