Tipped Womb
Hi all
This is a question for a friend. She's about 10 weeks pregnant. She had an U/S at 9 weeks as she thought she was further gone that she actually was. At the U/S, they couldn't find the baby, and so did a tansvaginal U/S, and found the baby and told her she had a tipped/tilted womb (retroverted). She's due to have the next ultrasound in a couple of weeks, so that she still gets her 12 week scan, but she's just wondering if it will affect her labour/pregnancy. Her colleague told her that she'd had one and that it made labour very painful, but could it be that the colleague just had a bad labour as I heard that the womb should 'correct' itself during the second trimester. A lot of the places I've looked online have just told me about the difficulties in conceiving, but not a lot about the actualy labour and pregnancy. Thanks Lucy x |

A lot of the places I've looked online have just told me Mine has always corrected itself during pregnancy. I have had fast and easy labors that I consider less painful than average. --Betsy |

I have a retroverted uterus and it didn't bother labor in any way. The first
baby was posterior, but I don't think that had anything to do with the uterus. The other two babies were positioned just fine. It's a pretty common variant. -- Sue (mom to three girls) "lu-lu" wrote in message ... Hi all This is a question for a friend. She's about 10 weeks pregnant.

My first labor was more painful than the last two. Nan |

By the time you have a 7+ baby in your womb, plus the placenta and all that
amniotic fluid, a tipped or tilted uterus looks pretty much like any other uterus. It doesn't affect labor at all. Position of the baby can affect labor, but not whether or not your uterus was tilted prior to pregnancy. -- Jamie Clark "lu-lu" wrote in message ... Hi all This is a question for a friend.

Its super common - 20% of women...which includes me, mom of three. By
10-12 weeks, it straightens itself out. Certainly made no difference during pregnancy, labour, delivery. M. |
