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

02 Jun 2008 08:19 PM

Hello,

I have a bicornuate uterus. It was diagnosed when I was 5 weeks and was having some adominal pain. The ER doctors told me I would miscarry, but my GYN told me not to worry and just look out for preterm labor and be prepared for a c-section because of a breech. I had an uncomplicated pregnancy and went to term. My daughter wasn't breech. I did have a horrible birth experience due to the baby being face up and jammed up in my pelvic bone. That led to a painful, long labor and finally a c-seciton, but otherwise my uterus caused no problems. I have no bleeding during pregnancy nor any abnormal periods after. I know people who didn't find out they had this type of Uterus until they had a hystorectomy or a c-section after a 3rd or 4th child.

I was also told that it was hard to get pregnant. But I was pregnant after a month of trying. Baby ended up on the right side. I heard the fertility problems are the exception and not the rule and that if a woman with a bicornuate uterus miscarries it could be other reasons besides the uterus.
