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?

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

Are you sure that's what you were told?

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.
