Hi Everyone,
I've just been diagnosed with a Bicornuate Uterus as well!!
The thing i'm angry & upset about is why & how was this not discovered at all in my past history.....
So far my history is that i had my first baby in my late teens (he's now 19 years old) & had a normal pregnancy with him but a difficult labour. He was eventually delivered by emergency c/s. He was not overly small & he did arrive 1 wk early but there was no mention of my unusual uterus then!!! Could they not see it???
I then seperated from his father & met my husband a few years later. He has no children but does want them...
At 29 i fell pregnant with my second child & it was a difficult pregnancy from the word go. Lots of brown/red bleeding & a massive bleed at 10 wks. It all settled down after that but the slight spotting continued. My water broke at almost 20wks & i delivered & lost my little boy......
Even after all this we still wanted to have children so a year later we fell pregnant again & again i had the same problems with spotting on & off with this pregnancy as well. This baby i lost when i was 9wks pregnant. The baby had stopped growing & had died at 7wks so i had a missed miscarriage & ended up having a d/c to remove it.
Again we tried again & i fell pregnant with my fourth pregnancy. This pregnancy was diagnosed as a blighted ovum at about 7wks so another loss & another d/c.
After these 3 miscarriages i was very reluctant to fall pregnant again but 7 years later i have now fallen pregant again which was a total suprise pregnancy as we were not trying.
I just lost the baby today at 7.5wks Last weeks ultrasound showed a healthy bub with a good hearbeat but todays ultrasound was a different story..no heartbeat. This pregnancy has pretty much taken the same road as all the others with the same spotting & bleeding......
They only now discovered my unusual uterus from all my recent ultrasounds & when i asked why was this not discovered earlier they said it may be because of ultrasound equipment being more responsive now days or it just wasnt investigated further!!!!
They also said that they believed this was the reason of my 4 miscarriages & are now going to do further investigations for a septum in a few months.
I cannot believe this all happened because of my uterus......I'm so glad i have my son at least......
I am so happy for all you girls who have gone on to have your gorgeous babies regardless of this problem and sorry to all who have lost their bubs, i completely understand.......
Hopefully they can give me some good news in a few months after they perform further investigations as my maternal clock is fast ticking away........
I wish good luck to all you girls with this problem![]()
