Re: bicornuate uterus- reply to Jody (pg, child ment)

[Guest guest]

Thanks Jen,

I'm all emotional and scared today. Just got back from my GP for the

results of the u/sound on Monday and my uterus is septate, the

heartbeat is only 100 bpm which they are concerned about and have an

irregular gestation sac. What does this all mean? To me the GP didnt

sound positive and has arranged more tests and I've just made an

appointment at an antenatal clinic.....am terrified of losing the

baby......Jody

Thanks Mikki,

I just want to know whats irregular about the gestation sac if that

makes sense.....i want information and I just dont have it which is

terrible, plus the low heart rate is worrying me also, although this

can pick up i've been told. it is the waiting that is today driving

me to tears....

Jody,

Hang in there girl. I know that waiting is probably the hardest part.

I'm doing some of that myself right now. I want answers too.

I will be thinking about you and watching for your next post.

Jody -

Try to hang in there because you will have answers soon. I honestly don't know

about the

irregular gestation sac as that was never an issue for me. You are doing ALL THE

RIGHT

THINGS by making the other appointment with the clinic and having other tests &

asking

your GP for info.

I'm sure you will have another ultrasound soon and know more from the results.

Take care and keep us all posted.

Thinking of you.
