Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Hi, I'm new to this chat room, and I'm looking for somebody who has a unicornate uterus and is pregnant with twins or who has had twins. That is my story. I am 7 1/2 weeks pregnant right now with twins. I'm scared to death! Before I got pregnant the doctors were telling me I would probably never have children and I should look into surrogacy or adoption. Well, we went through 1 cycle of IVF... and here I am with twins. So far the doctor says everything looks good, but I know with a unicornate uterus the problem is later in the pregnancy. We are so thrilled that I'm pregnant, but I'm afraid of getting my hopes up. Let me also say that I'm 36yrs. old and this would probably be my last chance. I just need to hear from someone who has experienced the same situation.

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Hi Lynn- Congrats on your pregnancy! I'm also a UU and have had a DS-just one-who was born at 36 weeks. I've been hanging around here for some time now and definitely remember that there were UU twins born a while back. If I am remembering correctly, I think that it was a pretty uneventful pregnancy, too. (Anyone remember specifics?) I'm sorry that I can't share any personal experience, but I thought it might at least help to hear that there have been success stories here. Wishing you all the best, UU, 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Hi Lynn, I KNOW there is someone on here pregnant with UU twins right now. If my memory serves me well, she's be ... oh, 25 weeks now... maybe 20 weeks. Also if I remember correctly, her doctors tried to INSIST that she " selectively eliminate " one of the embryos and she eventually refused. You should search the archives back into July or so for " UU twins " and you'll find her and you could e-mail her. Also, in spring 2003 (early spring, I'd say- maybe March?) a woman named on here gave birth to twins from her UU, a very uneventful pregnancy. There are also cases of twins in ONE horn of a BU which is similar to twins in UU. It's certainly rare but it has been done before! Some UUs are just willing to stretch into infinity , it seems. Just be sure you've got a doc watching your cervix and monitoring you closely!!

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 , Thanks for your burst of fresh air. It was nice to hear from someone who has not only gone through this, but has had a positive experience. I will do everything I can to make sure nothing happens to these babies, and now just knowing that it can be done makes me feel so much better. Thank You.
