New Member - My Story (to Elenor: fellow Australian)

[Guest guest]

Elanor

It could be a first - but I am also Australian, also

from Melbourne and I also have a UU!! It's good to

find you. Which town are you from?

I live inner city and am connected up with Royal

Womens Hospital (Dr Mark Umstad - high risk Ob/Gyn)

and Freemasons (Dr Hale for IVF). Royal Womens, as you

probably know, is a large teaching hospital. In my

experience, barely ANY of the doctors know about UUs

and BUs etc and Dr Umstad was the first person I ever

met who knew what the hell is was talking about.

Dr Umstad is a bit of an expert I suspect. He has had

many UU patients. He's just had one woman carry to 32

weeks and one is currently pregnant. He recommends a

specific monitoring regime for UUs.

Who is your doctor? Which hospital are you at? Are you

connected with the Royal Womens or Monash Medical

Centre? They both have NICU units in case the baby

comes early.

I have a right sided UU with a Rudimentary Horn.

Congrats on the pregnancy.

Stay in touch and let me know if you've got any

questions.
