Tilted Uterus?

Do any of you have one? I just recently found out when I was in the ER. Not sure why my previous OB didn't tell me anything about it, but I've heard it causes miscarriages and preterm labor. Correct? I went into labor with my daughter at 30 wks and my OB said he didn't know why, but I'm thinking that might of been why.

My grandma has a tilted uterus. She went full term but her biggest baby was 6 lbs. Each baby got smaller and smaller but she had terrible pregnancies

And I had my daughter vaginally and without medication. And I plan on doing the same thing this time too.

I have a tilted uterus but I knew about it since I was 13. They told me I'd never have kids of my own and if I ever got pregnant I would lose the baby every time. I now have a little girl who was a big surprise because I didn't find out I was pregnant with her until I was 29 weeks. She was born at 39 weeks by induction. And I'm pregnant with my second little one due in 22 days and he hasn't show any complications either. He is completely healthy and doesn't show signs of coming anytime soon. Sadly lol.

I found out I had a tilted uterus when I went in for my first checkup with my first pregnancy. My midwife told me she was surprised I even got pregnant because of how tilted it was. I didn't have any complications with that pregnancy though, but I did have a c section because baby was breech.

My aunt had a tilted uterus. She went full term with all 4 of her children but had to have csections with all of them. My mother in law had the same problem. She went full term with her first 2 and had her third 6 weeks early but that's because she got food poisoning. All natural births though.
I have watched "I never knew I was pregnant" and those women usually go full term too but never felt their baby move BC of the position.
I've never seen or met someone with a tilted uterus that has went through preterm or miscarriages BC of it. I'm sure it is probably a possibility though. I guess it would depend on how bad it was tilted too.
