question- small uterus ??
- Thread starter Fitstick

If you are worried, I would ask your Dr. what that means. The uterous stretches to accomodate a pregnancy. I don't know if you have kids or not, but if you get pregnant, I would just assume your uterous would strech to accomodate the baby. Just think, some women have twins or triplets with average size, so obviosly it just stretches and stretches.
I was told when I was in my early 20s (before kids) that my uterous was tipped at an unusual angle. It did not affect my fertility, but all that meant for me was that the Dr. can't detect the heartbeat until a little later than they normally would because of the angle of my uterous. But I have 3 kids and another one brewing so my unusual angle did not affect me.
If you are planning on getting pregnant, I would call your Dr. Otherwise, just make a mental note to ask next time you go in.

I would also ask your doctor if you are worried.
Marci, I too was told that my uterus is tipped, but that it wasn't a big deal, I just may have fertility problems, obviously NOT! My question for you is....does your uterus tend to be on one side of your body more than the other. My uterus is almost always on the right side and we always get the heart beat over there as well. It looks kind of funny right now as I have this lump more on the right than in the middle. As I get bigger it spreads, but the baby almost always has his back and tush towards the right leaving the left side much emptier. I was just curious? (probably just my weird body)

Hi Briee!
Nope, mine is just tipped back. So when I am pregnant, they can't hear the heartbeat until 14 or 15 weeks instead of the usual 12. As a bonus though, I always end up getting to see an early sonogram around 12 weeks (or sooner) to make sure the babys heart has started to beat.
I can just picture your little lump on one side! I had a sonogram today and it amazes me how develped the baby is at 19 weeks!! It is just so great
Makes me very excited.
