Bicornuate (heart shaped) Uterus! Help and advice please!

[DaniJade1990]

Another thread from me, apologies everyone! I went in for an early scan last week (8 week 3 days) and discovered I have a bicornuate uterus. The sonographer, midwife and doctor didnt seem too worried about this however I have researched it and it has scared the life out of me. The baby seemed fine with a heartbeat but has anyone got any experience/advice/general info about this for me. Would be much appreciated! Thank you!

I have a heart-shaped uterus too and have been told not to worry about it for the first 2 trimesters, however my consultant is going to do an ultrasound on me at 36 weeks just to check whether baby is breech.......apparantly the only real problem is babies getting stuck because they don't have the room to turn around......when I was told I did exactly the same as you and went on Google!!

I'm currently 24 weeks

When you have your booking in appointment, mention it to your midwife but try not to worry about it

Hi, there are loads of threads on this if you do a search for reasurance rather than all the scary things you will find if you google!!

I have this, two horns apparantly, no-one bothered about it in the slightest when I was expecting dd. She was transverse/going to an angle I think due to not much room or it could have been that's how she liked to lie. Big baby and back to back so needed forceps but again no-one had the slightest worry it was due to uterus.

Almost 37 weeks now and again no-one worried thought splodge spins from transverse to breech, just have to have scan at 38 weeks to make sure.

Good luck!!

I have one of these, well if we are getting technical I actually have two wombs & two cervixs I had no idea until my DD was born by EMCS for an undiagnosed breech. If I had googled it when pregnant I would have freaked, but the fact was I had a problem free pregnancy.

DS born a year ago, again no problems at all. He was breech but this was suspected due to the shape of the uterus, as they don't have as much room to turn.

Honestly my consultant said that although its not very common its no problem at all!

Enjoy your pregnancy

Hello,

I've got two friends who have this, who have had 2DC's each.

Both first borns were born via C-section. For one she had a planned C-section for the 2nd, and for the other she had emergency C-section as scar had ruptured, however, she knew immediately something was wrong, as a result, doctors could act immediately.

The result is 4 healthy happy babies, and two ecstatic Mums, one had been told she would never have children, so these two are her miracles!
