Let's Talk About Having a Bicornuate Uterus

23 Jun 2008 04:02 PM

I am 28 and 13 weeks pregnant...I had no problems conceiving...but for some strange reason always felt like I would never get pregnant. Upon having my first ultrasound, my doctor informed me that I had a bicornuate uterus. I left the office scared, uninformed, and upset. After researching the condition (and having an awful experience with that OBGYN) I decided to contact another doctor who deals with fetal medicine and high risk pregnancies. I live in San Diego and now how a wonderful doctor, who I feel confident will take care of my baby and I. I think my uterus is more heart shaped and does not have a septum. At this point my doctor has me coming in every three weeks. They are checking my cervix to make sure that isn't shortening (which is a sign of preterm labor). I've spent many days and nights upset and worried, but I've just decided that this is out of my hands and there is no sense in worrying when everything might work out just fine. I would suggest that if you have this condition - find a specialist that sees these types of condition all the time. Try researching perinatal, high-risk, or fetal medicine doctors. I wish all healthy and happy pregnancies and babies.
