BIcornate Uterus and Pregnant

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I am new to this board - glad to know it is here.

I was recently diagnosed with a bicornate uterus during my 8 week

sonogram. The embryo is apparently implanted in the left horn. The

Dr. was reluctant in conveying to me the risks associated with such a

condition - aside from premature and breech delivery.

After the first trimester passes, what exactly are the risks in a

bicornate pregnancy? Does it matter whether the baby grows in a horn

or in the center of the uterus? I'm particularly worried about the

risk of second trimester miscarriage due to a ruptured sac or

placental abruption, and just want to know how great this risk

actually is so that I can mentally prepare myself should it happen.

Thank you for your responses in advance.
