Out of interest would the sonographer tell you automatically if you have a tilted uterus?

and can they always see that it is? Just wondering as my pregnancy was dated two weeks early which i know can sometimes be caused by this. I do seem to have some other symptoms but also have endo so have always put it down to that - which of course it could still be. So just wondering really whther anyone has any experience of this?

On my notes it lists the uterus as anteverted - which is normal. If yours is tipped, it should say retroverted on the notes.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by other symptoms but I was told straight away that I had a retroverted uterus. I asked if this makes any difference to the pregnancy and was told that it wouldnt. She said that by week 12 it will be in the 'normal' position and that 1/3 women have a retroverted uterus. It also says it very clearly in my notes.

I think they must always be able to tell as she told me right away. I hope this helps. I wasn't aware that there maybe other symptoms relating to this-what are they?

Apparently other symptoms are pain having sex, painful periods (although i have endo so in my case that is what causes that) and sometimes pain on internal examination.

this is my third pregnancy, my first pregnancy ended in in a MC which I had to have an early pregnancy scan for and was told then I had a tilted uterus as had an internal scan. (Uterus thing in no way connected to MC, so not to worry you!) my second pregnancy was stright forward no scan until 12+ weeks and was a normal through your tummy scan and nothing at all was mentioned. This prenancy I had some bleeding at 9 weeks and was sent for early scan and again I had to have an internal scan and they mentioned again again about my tilted uterus.
But this is the only reason I know of it. I do know some women have problems with smear tests etc have to get in strange positions for test to be performed. I've never had this however but I assume there must be different degrees that this could affect people.

Any help?
