Bicornuate Uterus, Irreg. Gest. Sac, Low Heartbeat - Update
by TanteMilly, Apr 24, 2003 12:00AM
This is a quick update - I wrote in a couple of weeks when I first found out I was pregnant and had a bicornuate uterus. My ultrasound had shown an irregular gestational sac and the fetal heartbeat was only 80. The doctor had said I probably would miscarry. However - I haven't! Things have progressed very well - so far. I'm 8 weeks, 4 days and the heart beat has finally jumped to 164 and although the gestational sac is irregular, the baby is still growing as it should be - I guess since my uterus is irregular - it would be kind of hard for the gestational sac to be perfectly round. Anyways - there is always hope - my chances of miscarrying were pretty high but there is a reason for everything - and I'm feeling quite positive.
If anyone knows anything about delivery and a bicornuate uterus - please let me know (my uterus is split into two very distinct halves - the baby seems to have chosen the smaller half as well. Any input would be helpful as I'm leary of searching for info on the net - it always seems depressing.
Thank-you for your support and kind words!

You may also need a c/section for delivery, but that depends on exactly how/where the split is, and what position the baby gets wedged into close to term.
