Hello Clare,

What an inspirational story you have shared, thank you. I had goosebumps reading

your story. I am sorry for your loss, but also wish you well with your second

son - what a blessing.

I am also a UD, trying to conceive #1, well not actively quite yet, as I am on

Lupron Depot to stop Endo growth. I have had one miscarriage and look for ward

to starting TTC again in December.

Thank you again for sharing your story. It means so much to those who are

challenged with our special anatomies!

Hi

I have been more of a watcher (although have posted occasionally)

over the last year but just wanted to add my story as a success and

positive hope for everyone out there. I would also like to thank

everyone who has answered my paranoid fears over the last year with

nothing but understanding and compassion.

Last year on 14th September I gave birth to my baby boy, Toby at 26

weeks. Unfortunately a week later he gave up the fight for life and

we lost him. His memory will always be with us. I found out for

certain after his birth that I have a didelphic uterus through a

laprospcopy.

Soon after Toby died we decided to try again for a baby and in

February I found out I was pregnant. As I live in the UK there was

no opportunity for cervical stitches or cervical scans like they

seem to do in the USA so the only extra care I received this time

was a few extra scans to check on the growth. This pregnancy, just

like the last progressed perfectly with little sickness. I took it

easy and finished work as early as I could (at 29 weeks).

We went on holiday to Cornwall at the beginning of week 34 in a

caravan figuring if anything happened it happened - it is not like

there are no hospitals there..............Of course it did....My

waters broke on the 13th September (a year exactly since Toby) and

Toby was born weighing 5lb 2oz at 34 weeks plus 5 days.

Initially he was great but they did take him to intensive care to

give him extra oxygen. 2 1/2 weeks later we were home and now at

nearly 5 weeks old and nearly at his due date he is doing

brilliantly and weighs 6lb 11oz.

I was really worried during my pregnancy that no proactive measures

were taken but it does show that just because you have lost a baby

before does not mean it is neccessarily going to happen again. I

like to think that was born when he was to help me cope with

the anniversary of Tobys birth - both will always be very special

little boys and I am sure has a guardian angel.

Thanks to everyone for your support and good luck with everything.

Clare,

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Congratulations on your

beautiful baby boy!! I think you're right about him arriving on what

would have been a difficult day for you in order to help you through

it. What a little miracle.

I am also UD and am TTC. I had a chem PG a few months ago and am TTC

now again. It is difficult some days to know we have to deal with so

much more than " normal " uterus women, but inspirational to know it

can be done!!

Good luck and congratulations to you and your family.
