Hi Becky,

For a true BU, that's about it! Except m/c rates aren't all that bad

in a BU. Sometimes women with septate uteri are diagnosed as BU

because the term " bicornuate " gets used as a blanket term, or else

the diagnostic tests aren't all that discriminating. It is important

to find out the difference, because SU has a worse pregnancy outcome

than BU, but can be fixed easily enough with " keyhole " surgery.

There is no predicting how this second pregnancy of yours will go,

but because of your uneventful past pregnancy, there is reason to

expect a smooth pregnancy this time, too. I sure hope so. Keep

reading--we have a lot of BU pregnancy and birth stories in the

archives, not to mention " BU babies " in our photo gallery.

Congratulations and welcome.

Beth
