Bicornuate Uterus

Hi everyone,

This is my first time writing here.
I wanted to share my story and maybe find someone who can relate to me.

So I have a bicornuate uterus and I found that out when I had my first miscarriage.
As a teenager I suffered really bad periods and now I understand why, having two uterus.

Anyway, my first pregnancy was a miscarriage, second pregnancy I had my son with an emergency c-section full term, 3rd pregnancy miscarriage, 4th pregnancy had another boy by emergency c-section at 38 weeks.
This c-section was really bad, my son’s head got stuck in my cervix’s and they couldn’t get him out. He was a breech c-section and came out not breathing and went into ICU. He took a while to recover however I was totally damaged from the inside. I was told to try for another baby would be really risky, my bladder, uterus, vessels were damaged and maybe having another c-section could cause a hysterectomy.
So I never tried to convince plus after my child I wasn’t at the best health and took me a long time to recover.

After 3 years I got pregnant, didn’t plan it but it happened and I thought maybe it’s meant to be.
But unfortunately I had a miscarriage around 7ish week.
I was really upset, I was hoping it was a girl.
Few months later I got pregnant again but again miscarriage, it was only 2-3 weeks and it was just like a late period.

Now I’m pregnant again and I know I’m mad taking the risk.
I’m at the point where I don’t know how to even react to this pregnancy.
Ignore it like I’m not even pregnant?

Firstly thank you for taking the time to share your story and I hope you and your children are well. I have one son aged 7, he was born by c section full term due to being breach. I am pregnant again 22 weeks and counting and I have been told I have a bicornuate uterus. I feel really scared reading everything online. Feels lonely at times.

Why are you continuing to take the risk, not only to yourself but to any unborn child? You have 2 healthy children, which in itself is a miracle with this condition, so why don't you take the doctors advice?

You are making an insane decision here.
