Backward Tilting Uterus

Del, 22, from Staffordshire asks...
Hi, I'm 17 weeks pregnant and have been bleeding all through my pregnancy so far with no clear days. On my last scan they said I have backward tilting uterus and my womb is nearly divided into 2. The half of my womb that has no baby in keeps shedding the lining as no baby is present but then reproduces again. This has caused some heamoraging. And to top it all my midwife found a 3.2 by 1.4cm tear under the baby. They say it's not actually messing with the baby. It hasn't so far shrank in size or the bleeding got any lighter. I have already lost a baby girl at 21 weeks 2 years ago. Will it happen all over again? Is my baby and myself going to be safe as we get bigger. (sorry that was long) Thank You

Stacy Says...
Del, I'm sorry but I really do not know enough about this condition to intelligently comment on it. I have no idea if this will happen again. Please ask your doctor these questions and ask if there are any resources for you to research. Good luck!

I just wanted to let you know that my mom had a tilted uterus and I came out just fine (C-section). So, there is hope.
