I was diagnosed with a 'Bicornuate Uterus' when I found out I was 5 weeks 5 days pregnant with my first child. The baby was growing in the left 'cornu'. My pregnancy was considered 'high-risk' but everything was normal I got told of all the risks, but I didn't let that get to me.
I bled at 6 weeks, then again at 11 and a half weeks, yet everything was fine. At my 19 week scan I found out I was having a girl, Lydia Grace, and again, everything was fine, she was growing normally and everything, she was also head down.
A month had past and I was nearly 6 months, I couldn't believe it. Then the night I was 23 weeks and a day pregnant, I went into premature labour. I gave birth naturally, to the most precious little soul, Lydia Grace on the 10th of January 2009 weighing in at 580 grams (1lb 4oz) and measuring 30.9 cms.
She was very early, and it was very unexpected. But she's a healthy 9 month old now But I've heard apparently if your first child is prem, all your children are going to be prem... Also, generally women with a bicornuate uterus have only one kidney? Well, that's what I heard from my doctor and I only have one kidney..
I wish everyone all the best with their pregnancies. Thanks for reading x
