Re: Pg Ment: 2 cervices and labor, labor induction

[Guest guest]

Trying this email again- didnt seem to go thru on last

attempt:

Hi All,

i have a question for the group regarding labor and

vaginal delivery with 2 cervices. Does anyone have

experience in this department? for example, women

with UD- do both cervices dilate during your labor? I

would imagine they both respond to the same hormonal

signals but mechanical factors may play some

contributory role as well.

I am SU- with communication between my 2 uterine

cavities, and 2 cervices- 38 weeks preg. I honestly

have no idea if my baby has any access to the right

uterine cavity (i dont think they can really tell on

U/S), the pregnancy is clearly in the left cavity

although i feel his head pushing against the right

side of my lower pelvis, but which side of the septum

his head is on, not sure. they cant visualized the

septum anymore during U/S.

im wondering if there is any chance in heck im going

to have trouble w. vaginal delivery bc of 2 cervices-

is that going to be rough on my uterus, or the septum

inbetween them? Im wondering if i could even tear the

septum between them (given that the baby might have

some access to the right cavity). yesterday when my

doc went to check my cervix, i honestly dont know if

she checked the " correct " (left) cervix (im

increasingly spaced out at these appointments and

forgetting to ask relevant questions). she said i was

BARELY 1 cm dilated (how depressing!) although cervix

was at least soft. So, it looks like i am possibly

going to be scheduled for an induction- which i have

mixed feelings about. any induction stories/ warnings

people want to share?

any experiences that would shed light on any of my

questions above would be greatly appreciated- thanks

guys!

best
