Question about heart-shaped uterus and early labor??

Question

I am almost 20 weeks pregnant. I have a heart-shaped uterus which means my baby can only use half of my uterus. =[ My Dr. told me most women with heart-shaped uterus' have their babies early and most likely need a c-section. My question is: Any one else have a heart-shaped uterus and early labor? c-sections? or does anyone know anyone with this?

Answer 1

my friend had the same thing and was able to gave birth to her daughter vaginally. her baby girl is healthy now, but she was born two months early, and was 4 pounds.   starting at 24 weeks my friend got steroid injections to help with lung development, since her baby had to be premature.  and her baby had to stay in the hospital for a month or two, but she is 4 months and very healthy now.  try not to stress out about it to much, as that wont do anything good.  I'm sure you baby will be just fine, your doctor will know what is best for you (since every pregnancy and every mother is different)

congrats on the pregnancy and best wishes for you and your new baby.

Answer 2

I never heard of that but I would look up some info on the net or get a book at the libray but if you do get a c-section just be prepared to have some pain but you will get through it I did twice. It isn't fun but if you do things slowly and don't let nurses or anyone else tell you how fast you should be moving you will be okay. I wish you the best think positive and keep yourself informed and it all work out
