preferred birth method with a septate uterus

[yetty]

I am 31 weeks pregnant and  have been diagnosed with a septate uterus,i have been told that with a vaginal birth there could be a severe loss of blood ,and a blood transfusion might be necessary,and also due to the size of the uterus,the baby might be breech since there isnt enough space for baby to move ,thereby requiring a Caesarean  section .
would like to know,on an average in septate uterrine cases,which is the safer or low risk birth method ,vaginal or caesarean birth,cos my obgyn did not exactly tell me which was safer
thanks

I have a septated uterus - and the septum is long - almot the entire length of the uterus.  I was very worried when I became pregnant - I had heard of all the possible complications.  Thankfully, my pregnancy went extremely well and I have a happy healthy 19 month old biy today.  While in utero, he grew well and the only complication was that he was breech - with one foot up and one foot down - and it was just too crowded for him to turn on his own.  I delvered via c-section.  They say with the septated uterus they will not encourage the baby to turn by pushing on them like they sometimes do - the risk of rupturing the uterus is too great.  When my doctor did the c-section, he said my uterus was shaped "weird" he could not even describe it or compare it to anything he had previously seen.  We guessed that my uterus just stretched anyway it could to accomodate the baby - and who cares if it looked "weird", it did the job right?

hi, i had a subseptate uterus and i delivered my baby girl in august naturally. i was one day off full term. i was lucky my baby turned at 29 weeks and stayed that way. i have to say it was a hard delivery but it was worth it.
