I got pregnant first try with no previous MCs, I had a subchronic haemorrhage at 6 weeks where they told me I was going to miscarry and sent me home with some leaflets to read .

I didn't get told I had a bicornuate 'til I had a retained placenta and they had to do a manual removal, would have been handy earlier in the pregnancy as I had lots of random bleeding etc.

I had Freya at 37 weeks, I had had a feeling I wasn't going to last 'til 40 weeks, I felt labour coming on for a few weeks. She was also back to back which they said was due to lack of space which prevented her from turning.

Despite a traumatic pregnancy and awful labour I have a beautiful healthy girl and I'm very lucky to have had no MCs along the way.

ThatGirl, I am so sorry. Are you having spotting, or what makes you think that something is going wrong?

Just wanted to let you guys know that I had my surgery yesterday to remove the septum and all went well. I posted full details in my TTC Journal if you'd like to read about it. If anyone has questions just let me know and I'd be happy to help.

Hi thatgirl, yes yes yes i had that and was told my Dr having miscarriage come back for scan in 3 days (what a long wait) baby all fine. consultant said bleed from other side of uterus, apparently the other side will try to continue as normal and hormones will be all 'confused'. try not to worry hun, you might have another big bleed at 12 weeks (when you normally have a period) but you also may not, i did with my 1st and had scan show ok, never had bleed with this preg, so all very different.
so pleased all ok hun, must take it easy xxxx

Hi, have any of you girls had a water birth? i had a c-section with first baby as he was transverse due to lack of turning space in uterus, but this time if baby turns and i can try for a natural birth i would very much like a water birth, anyone had success with this??

Hello! It's nice to have ladies with similar structures to mine

I have a didelphys uterus, which is basically 2 sepaprate uterii, each with their own cervix and own vagina ( 2 pap smears for me- yay!).
With my son Alex this was all discovered when I was 7 weeks pregnant, although I had an inkling something was a little 'different' down there (tampons didn't work because of the 2 vaginas, and it looked a bit different from the textbook pictures...)
Anyway, basically when my obstetrician confirmed what the deal was structurally, he booked me in for a c-section then and there with no talk of an alternative. Basically he said becasue of the 2 cervix and 2 vaginas there wasn't enough room for bubs to come out. Alex tried to make appearances at 33 and 35 weeks, and between 35 and 38 weeks I was walking around 3cm dialated but the waters were still intact so no problem there.
He was delivered by c-section at 38 weeks, a lovely, perfect 7lbs 11oz and screaming his head off.

In the journey to getting pregnant with Alex's brother or sister we have had 3 losses which despite my 2 uterii the real problem was a luteal phase defect which is hormonal and not structual. We are now 17 weeks pregnant and I went to visit my new hospital assigned ob yesterday who threw me the biggest curve ball saying he saw no reason why I couldn't deliver naturally.
I was floored, as I've had 3 years to get used to the idea that natural birth was just not an option. I was a little annoyed that he would make such a statement within 2 minutes of meeting me and he didn't even have a look at the area in question for himself...but thrilled of course because a natural birth is in my heart of hearts what I want. ONLY however if it is really a safe and viable option and bubs isnt going to get horribly stuck and distressed.

So my question is this - if you have a vaginal septum, and or 2 cervixes and had a natural birth let me know! Or if you have that and had a c-section let me know too!
I'm reeling from this info...need some answers!
