Septate uterus

[Lydi29]

Hi
I have just found out I have a patual sebtate uterus. I was wondering if anyone else had this. This is all so new to me and I feel like I'm the only person with this. Has anyone had a sussefull pregnancy with this. I've been told this shouldn't cause too many problems getting pregnant.

My husband also has sperm mobility problems too.

Any advice or success story would be very welcome.

Been ttc for almost 3 years.

I have a bicornuate uterus and I managed a successful pregnancy. At the same time my colleague had a septate uterus and was also pregnant.

We both required C sections due limited capacity for baby to turn and my baby being footling breech and hers being frank breech.

Tbh I wouldn't even have risked a vaginal birth. I felt c sections that were planned were much calmer and safer than risking a crash section.

Thanks so much. That's really reassuring. Xx

My sister in law has a septate uterus, she had normal pregnancy following ivf for unexplained fertility. Ended up having a c section as the cord was wrapped around DC’s neck but nothing to do with septate uterus. Healthy full term baby.

I have unicornuate uterus which is in essence half of the uterus connecting to only one fallopian tube. Had a full term pregnancy (by IVF due to unrelated reasons). Having said that, this is a very rare condition and a lot of gynaecologists are even not aware of it and there is not enough stats. I was fretting the whole pregnancy but it turned out to be all good.

i had a sub-septate uterus. The degree to which it may impact your pregnancy depends on the extent of it which will vary hugely person by person so you may benefit from specialist advice. One doctor told me to leave it and then if I had recurrent miscarriages to fix it, another recommended fixing it before pregnancy. I ended up having IVF for age related reasons and they fixed the septate at the same time as egg collection (although I am overseas with private insurance so not sure how this would work in the UK)
