Guest guest Posted November 10, 2000 Report Share Posted November 10, 2000 Hello and welcome to the group. I am not sure how to respond to your message about your uterus " spreading " as your pregnancy progresses except to say....Let's hope so. My doctor has explained that there are 3 different types of adhesions, those that are non-vascular (i.e. don't have any blood vessels of their own and are easily removed) vascular (those that have their own blood supply and are fairly firm and more difficult to remove) and third, those that are calcified (i.e. have " hardened " over time due to calcium deposits, these are very difficult to remove) So, if you have the first type of adhesions then you might stand a very good chance of having these adhesions break apart on their own as the baby grows larger and pushes on them. If, however, you have the second or third kind, I'm not sure if the pressure of a growing baby alone would be enough. Perhaps a question to ask your doctor? In my mind, the most important factor for miscarriage is whether you have sufficient endometrium to support a pregnancy to term. Do you know what your endometrium measurment is? If the embryo implanted in a spot in the uterus with very thin endometrium (because of the adhesions) you may be more likely to miscarry as the placenta may not be able to attach fully. If you implanted in a " good " spot with healthy endometrium, then I tend to think this is the most important factor as far as the possibility of miscarriage goes. Good luck to you and keep us all up-to-date on how you are doing! Gwen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
