POSTED ON DIA BOARDS ALSO
Just popping in before I head to work....Just wanted to update you ladies on my first OB appointment yesterday.
13weeks 6 days
Saw the doctor for the first time this afternoon. All is well. I spoke to her about my double uterus and she diagnosed me with Bicornuate Uterus. Here are some pics I found online that show what it is.


Info on just one site I looked at:
Bicornuate
This is the most common congenital uterine anomaly. It results from a failure of fusion between the mullerian ducts at the 'top'. This failure may be "complete" which results in a two separate single horn uterine bodies sharing one cervix. Alternatively, in a "partial" bicornuate uterus fusion between the mullerian ducts occurred at the 'bottom', but not the 'top'. Thus, there is a single uterine cavity at the bottom with a single cervix, but it branches into two distinct horns at the top. Since the ducts never fused at the top, these two horns are separate structures when seen from the outside of the uterus.
Effect - Pregnancies in women with a bicornuate uterus have a 55 -63% fetal survival rate with a 15 -25% rate of preterm delivery. The incidence of preterm delivery is higher (66%) in women with a complete bicornuate uterus. As with unicornuate uteri, the preterm delivery rate may be increased by the small uterine cavity size and by a high incidence of cervical incompetence.

Also what it looks like with the baby growing inside.
So my baby is in the right horn and doing fine. My doctor did go over some complications that could occur such as, smaller baby due to smaller uterus, pre-term labor, breech, etc. She's not considering me high risk but to see how my pregnancy progresses. I may or may not need a c-section all depends on when that time comes. I'm just happy to know that it's not as bad as it could have been. This type of uterus anomaliy is very common.
She was a great doctor and very informational. I even got a quick peek at my baby when she couldn't hear the heartbeat with the doppler so I got to see it on the U/S. She's also keeping my due date of April 12th and I go back in 3 weeks for all my labs and then the following appointment will be the BIG ULTRASOUND!!!! I can't wait!!
I also told my boss about the pregnancy today. She took it great. Was very excited for me and told me not to worry that we'll work something out. So it was a great day today.
