Joan, good! I am glad to hear it!


There's always something with a percentage that they like to scare me with!
LOL

"Your uterus is tipped back...25% of all women...blah blah"

last time it was
"Your dd was born face up/posterior...only 5% of all births ... blah blah "

YIKES...I'm a freak
:LOL

Think about it - your uterus *can't* be retroverted as pregnancy progresses. Your internal organs, not to mention ribs and spine get in the way and the uterus has to fall along the path of least resistance - forward into a "normal" position.

I think some women can have a problem in early preg. with emptying their bladders if the uterus is pressing on the urethra while retroverted. But that is the only real problem I know of.

for me it made me show earlier and then kinda go back down a little when it tipped right. Go figure. It also takes a little longer to hear the heart beat.

This is so funny that you bumped this thread because the OB's have not said anything else about it since then, and I completely forget they even said anything to me about it in the first place!
LOL

Guess it isn't that big of a deal!
:LOL
