Guest guest Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 Have other BU/SU women > experienced this? Does an SU stretch like this, or > does it sound like a BU? Or do both kinds of weird > uteri act this way in pregnancy? > (Yes, yes, oK, I admit, this is another silly attempt > to diagnose my condition when that cannot really be > done. But it can't hurt to ask!) Hey, Kris- I understand your need to try to diagnose yourself - it's nervewracking not knowing. In my short pg experience, Cole was only ever on one side of my septum...I didn't know I had the septum but questioned several times why the baby was always on one side...it felt completely soft on one side and hard on the other. Now I know why! My septum is not all the way to my cervix, but it's very thick. Perhaps in a smaller septum, the baby can stretch around it. I'm sure that's what must happen in successful SU pregnancies. Try to relax - you're doing great and have just about reached viability!!!! woohooo!

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 Hi , congrats on making it to the 24 wk mark! sorry to bum you out, but I think either kind of uterus can be that way. My mom (big SU) had my brother in a transverse position, lying under the septum (which they didn't know about). A BU can be the same; I've heard from BU women here that the baby can lie with head in one horn and legs in the other horn. I actually think that, although this will mean a C-section for you if she stays that way, that this is good news. Esp. for if you end up to be SU, transverse lie can be a very " safe " position as far as making it to full term. My brother, for example, went to 39 weeks in a transverse lie. Good luck!!!

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 , I am not sure about that but I have a septate uterus and am 17 weeks 2 days today and I have noticed that my baby is totally on the right side also, but I have a complete septum all the way to the cervix so who knows what will happen. My Dr. told me that the baby usually pushes the septum out of the way somewhat so maybe that is happening. Good luck!
