I've apparently got a bicornuate uterus (that is, a heart shaped uterus).
Am interested to hear whether anyone else has this shape of uterus, and whether your pregnancy proceeded relatively normally?
My pregnancy has been a bit scary so far. :-s I've been bleeding pretty heavily on and off since about week 5. Have had lots of ultrasounds - and so far the baby seems oblivious to all the bleeding and is growing well, strong heartbeat etc. (Latest bout of bleeding started yesterday. TMI to follow - I filled 12 maternity pads in four hours!! But u/sound today shows baby seems to be fine. Today's u/sound revealed a new large haematoma in my uterus, fortunately not near the placenta, that is the site of the bleeding).
My obstetrician seems to think that I'm bleeding as a result of blood vessels bursting as my unusually shaped uterus stretches and grows.
If you, or someone you know has a bicornuate uterus, did you bleed a lot during your pregnancy? Did you carry to full term? Was the baby breech?
