Retroverted Uterus

[HJWT]

What does this actually mean? (Obvs means my uterus is tipped backwards) but will this effect anything in terms of pain? I didn't even know this in my last pregnancy and I remember in L&D feeling like my back was being crushed, could this of added to it as baby would of been more towards my back? Or am I just being thick 😂

Hi, yes it can cause more pain in your back during labour. It also means I get period pains in my back rather than tummy which I think is normal got a retroverted uterus. I don’t think it causes any problems though but can make ultrasounds on your tummy in early pregnancy a bit trickier.

@Teakind thanks! I had an early internal scan and they wrote it on the letter ! X

Yes I think the back pains are your indication. I have it too but like you didn't know on my first pregnancy, one of the sonographers mentioned it on my second. I had a back to back labour first time anyway which added to the agony, but I didn't second time round and I still found the contractions / pain from pushing very intense in my back/coccyx.
