Re: bicornuate or septate uterus

[Guest guest]

Hi ...No unfortunately there is nothing they can do while you're

pregnant, surgically that is. If you are BU than really they wouldn't

do surgery, only in extreme cases. If you are SU than hopefully

they'll be able to keep a close watch on you and can possibly

determine where the embryo has attached. Doing a regular sonogram,

they can't really tell the difference between BU and SU only that

there is an anomaly that could be BU or SU...(if that makes sense).

Take a deep breath and keep us posted!!

Hi ,

First of all, if it's true...congrats on your pg!

If you are pg, there is nothing that can be done for now, except sit

back and try to relax and not worry (WAY harder to do than it is to

say, I know!) and make sure that your dr monitors you closely,

closely, closely.

Depending on the severity of your BU or SU, they both pose risks for

incompetant cervix, preterm labor and intrauterine growth restriction

and breech presentation. You dr can do frequent u/s and cervical

checks to make sure that these things are not happening. An SU poses

a risk for m/c if the embryo were to implant on the septum, but you

could have an u/s around 8 weeks to see where it is implanted.

I'd recommend asking for an early u/s (8 wks or so) and then have

another one for a baseline cervical measurement at 12-14 wks. Then

have them check your cervix ever 2-4 weeks to check for changes.

With careful monitoring, your dr can catch a problem early and

modified activity, etc can have AMAZING results to bring your baby

safely here.

There are a lot of members here that have had very successful pg with

both BU and unresected SUs, so lean on us for questions to get you

through it.
