Hi Carmello, I can't answer your question, but have you found http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group...rianAnomalies/
this group on Yahoo yet? It has people with your kind of MA on there and they should be able to help you with your query. Good luck!

So I found out about a month and a half ago that I have a bicornuate uterus. I had a pelvic ultrasound done because of some pain I was having. I wasnt pregnant yet, so it was completely unrelated of course.

I found out Sunday that I was pregnant.

I am completely terrified of something happening or miscarriage in the later months. It's really great reading all of the success stories, but I am scared!

Anyone have any advice on what to do or what to avoid? I want to do everything I can to make sure this baby is going to come out safe and healthy.


Thanks!

cant help u sorry im bicornuate...

Ok ladies, I posted in this thread when it was 1st started. It was a VERY brief post at that. SO here is my deal.

I have a BU. It was noticed at 10 weeks pregnant with my 1st daughter. My 1st pregnancy my daughter had severe IUGR. She was born 12 weeks early weighing only 13 ounces (380 grams) and 10 inches long. At 28 weeks gestation she was the size of a 20 weeks gestation baby. She had a brain and heart defect. There was zero anmiotic fluid in there, called oligohydramnios. She had no chromosonal(sp?) defects which was checked through an amnio.

My 2nd pregnancy our daughter was growing good up until 21 weeks where she was measuring a week behind. Hannah didn't have any defects like her sister did. She was physically perfect. My doctor didn't give me any more u/s until I was in labor and delivery at 32 weeks pregnant. Our Hannah had passed away and was stillborn. The autopsy showed her to be normal with no defects. She was however small. She too had IUGR. She was 2 pounds 15 ounces. At 32 weeks she was 4 weeks behind in growth.

I have had many test run on me and nothing can be found that would be causing me these problems. It seems like my main issue is IUGR. The doctors think the BU that I have may be the reason for all my complications. I'm 17 weeks pregnant again and will be having another u/s a week from tomorrow. I'm hoping this baby grows on target. I won't be surprised however if he isn;t. I just can't handle another death. 2 was enough.

So my question is, has anyone else here had a baby with problems with IUGR? Has your BU gave you any problems?

hi im spotting abit again now am i likely to have this all through my pregnancy when af is due?? i have a doppler so i can listen to babys hb i have consultant app on 8th april

Hi ThatGirl,

Throughout my pregnancy with Alex I had spotting coming from my non-pregnant uterus (I'm didelphys uterus, not bicornuate and have two cervixes and 2 vaginas) everytime AF would have normally been due.

This time around, none yet but I'm halfway through so time will tell!

Best wishes hun

thanks hun x

I found out I had a BU from a large ovarian tumour which was removed 9 years ago, along with my right ovary. My left ovary ovulates every month in compensation!

During this pregnancy (my 2nd, MMC last year at 8wks due to implantation in the septum preventing growth) I had periods for two months from the right side, while my baby was growing in the left just fine. I did have a subchorionic haematoma at 7 weeks, but the early pregnancy clinic weren't panicked so I tried not to!

I'm now 15+3 and hoping everything will continue just fine, but I'm concerned as to whether I can give birth naturally - I have one vagina/cervix, but from the cervical opening my womb is completely divided in two by a wall...

Some people seem to have no problems at all, others plenty. I'm under a consultant who I hope is going to keep a close eye on me and give me the benefit of his wisdom and experience...

how are all you ladies doing?

we're fine..its a boy
