Bicornuate Uterus

[Hopeful279]

I have a "partial" bicornuate uterus, have had one miscarriage already and I was just wondering if I should be treating my next pregnancy any different? Should I be cautious of anything other than that of pregnancies with a normal uterus?

I have bicornuate uterus. I had a miscarriage once and then my doctor found out that I have this kind of rare shape uterus. I was pregnant again after six months and my daughter is full term and she is two and half now. Now I'm pregnant again and hope this time will be also fine.

This is what I was told about bicornuate uterus: "Reports of miscarriage with a bicornuate uterus show a high rate of about 30 percent. Preterm birth rates in one study were about 20 percent, and fetal growth restriction occurred in about 10 percent. Abnormal presentation or position of the baby can occur; breech presentation occurred in about 43 percent. Cesarean-birth rates also are increased; in one study, cesarean births were performed in about 82 percent."

So I'll say nothing different. Just need to be careful - Not to too tired, no sex during preganancy, expecting c-section.

Good luck!
