Hi

I have been told I have a pear shape uterus and will probably have to have our second child c-section again as my son was breech.

Does anyone else have or know about this and is it common?

I thought they were all pear-shaped too.

Just googled and all uteruses (uteri?) are pear shaped.

Are you sure that's what you were told?

Does the OP mean that it is the other way round....so bigger at the bottom than the top IYSWIM

Do you mean a bicornuate uterus ??? I have one of these and it is common for the baby to end up breech because of the lack of room for it to turn around.

Will see if i can find a pic.

\link{www.ob-ultrasound.net/bicornuate_uterus.html\Here} is an ultrasound pic of a bicornuate uterus, but i's not pear shaped as you can see.
