hi,

im 23-year-old.
im having double uterus, two cervix, and septate vagina (the septum had been removed 0n 2007 when i found out my case)

i was married on dec'09.. and conceived on march'10.
i didnt expected that it could be that fast.. as i read soo many stories and kept thinking that it would be hard for me to fall pregnant.

in fact, miracle does happen.
i'm now 30weeks pregnant... thankfully haven't had any issue during my pregnancy. for now i am just hoping that i can give normal vaginal birth. hopefully i can make it..

am hoping the best for all of you who are expecting / are trying to conceive.. just believe that you can...

Hello,

I am currently 18 weeks pregnant with twins and have a didephic uterus with one baby on each side.  I have two children who are 7 and 4 and carried them both on the right side.  I am very hopefull after reading your stories and encouraged by your words.  I've been on bed rest since 14 weeks for cramping and mild contractions, just hoping to make it as long as possible!!!!

My bicornuate uterus was diagnosed in the surgery room when I was having a c-section with my daughter 12 years ago!  She had never turned to be head down towards the end of my pregnancy, so she was breech and delivered by c-section.  I heard the doctor say "Oh!  So that's why she never turned!"

For my 2nd pregnancy, I was monitored closely (not "high-risk", but higher than a normal pregnancy) to make sure my son was growing normally.  He was and was born by c-section as well.

The only "problems" I experienced with my bicornuate uterus is that it took me a LONG time to get pregnant.  4 years with my daughter and 3 with my son.  During the pregnancies, I started having intense Braxton-Hicks contractions really early on.  Both kids grew in the right horn of my bicornuate uterus.  Strangely, that's always the side I have the worst menstrual cramps in.

I've never seen a picture of my bicornuate uterus, but I've had various ultrasounds for other abdominal issues and the tech always does a double take at my uterus!  :)

I am wondering with my double uterus' if I will even know if I'm pregnant. My doctor has me on BC to control the flow of them and keep them in sync but what happens if it's not enough hormones? And if mine can be out of sync, how would my body know it's pregnant? Since some women can concieve at different times, I assume this is possible. So unless I continuously watch for signs,  I could harm a baby if I concieve in one and dont know it. Any help on this?

Hello everyone! I do not feel so alone now. Let me share my story with you all.

I am 37 years old and on July 8th I had taken a pregnancy test and after picking myself up off the floor from having seen the "t" sign I was elated because after years of trying I was finally pregnant. On July 10th I started spotting and I went to the ER and they did another pregnancy test and confirmed I was still pregnant. I had a beta hcg test done to test the hormone level in my system and it had went up. I stopped bleeding for a few days and I just thought that the bleeding was from a UTI I had been diagnosed with at the ER but then I realized something was up. I made an appt with a dr and I went to see her and she did another beta hcg test and it showed that I was about 5 to 6 weeks so she ordered another one the following week and then she called and told me the numbers had went up but not high enough and that I was going to miscarry the baby. Needless to say I was put in a state of shock that eventually led to being very hurt. She told me to come in again for an Ultrasound the following Monday to see if there was anything growing in my uterus and low and behold the ultrasound tech fount a double uterus. She was all excited and I was in a state of shock and scared out of my mind. I had never even heard of a double uterus until that day and I felt kind of like a freak in a side show but now seeing that I am not alone makes me feel so much better and knowing that I can get pregnant makes me feel a whole lot better too.

I hope all of us who are wanting children so badly can concieve and have strong healthy pregnancies that last until the due dates.
