Re: pregnant with a double uterus

[Guest guest]

Hi there

Congratulations on the pregnancy. I have uterus didelphys and gave birth to my

first son Jake in July this year. I had bleeding at 6 weeks which only lasted

one day then at ten weeks pregnant really thought I was having a miscarriage as

I had pain with bleeding. I was admitted to hospital and they discovered the

majority of the bleeding was from the unpregnant side. It had built up a lining

in sympathy with the pregnancy in the left horn and then for some reason

realised it did not contain a pregnancy so it shed the lining! It lasted for

five days and was not particularly pleasant as it hurt like crazy and I didn't

take any pain killers as I was pregnant. I am very pleased to say that the

pregnancy continued with no more major dramas and Jake was born two days late!!

So the double uterus can easily contain a full term pregnancy!

There was some minor bleeding from the pregnant horn; the doctor said that was

simply the placenta establishing itself. I really hope all goes well for you;

you may want to see another doctor if the one you have is so dismissive (and by

the sounds of it; ignorant of mullerian anomolies).

All the best

concerned about having a miscarriage because it took me 3.5 years

just to get pregnant. Has anyone heard if it is possible to still

have your period from the non pregnant uterus?

Thank you

Hi there and to tte

Thanks for your response to my question. I had a scan and my dr. saw 3 sacs,

2 in my right uterus and one in the left, but there was no baby in 2 of the

3 sacs and he thought I was miscarrying the 2 sacs (one on the right one on

the left). So I am still bleeding, but no cramps or other miscarriage

symptoms. I feel grateful to know that i have one little guy in there and

hope he is a fighter.

Its good to hear that you were actually 2 days late tte. Gives me

hope.

Thanks again
