Retroverted uterus

Has anyone else on here got a retroverted uterus? I knew I had one before getting pregnant however I went for my private Scan at 10 weeks today and they are concerned it will not be viable because of my uterus being the wrong way around and I just don't know what to think. I've been so ill and to go through that and then this is a lot.

That sounds odd have you let your midwifery team know?

My uterus moves around. I know only know this because I have had IVF. When it has been in a retroverted position the fertility doctors have always been quick to say that it is really common and does not impact fertility.

At my scan today the midwife said everything has to move around to make room for your growing uterus which ever way it was pointing and didn’t seem worried about it’s position.

I have a retroverted uterus and always have. No one told me my first pregnancy that it would be an issue. I had him full term 5 years ago. No issues! I'm pregnant now with my second and had to go through fertility treatment, none of them said my uterus would be an issue x

Quite possibly but j think he has been misinformed.

Don't worry about it x

Reduced movements

Baby hadn’t moved for about 2 hours (that I can be sure of) but has now got hiccups and moving slightly again. Should I still go to triage or is that enough for things to be ok?

Growth scan

Just had a growth scan 35 + 2 and they said baby is weighing 3.5lbs, I had a growth scan at 28 weeks and he was 3lbs then. I’m back for a scan in 2 weeks but they said if he drops again they will look to induce me at 37-38 weeks now I’m scared!

Braxton hicks

Where do you feel these in your belly ? Top or bottom?

How regular do you feel them?
I’m having constant period pains low down getting worse each day and lost lots of clumpy snotty looking like discharge yesterday

Is anyone super sweaty down there?

I am around 21 weeks now, doing shopping today and was genuinely panicking my waters had leaked. Rang the local antenatal assessment and was suggested to change, pad up and monitor for an hour and go in to be checked if necessary. Been monitoring with toilet paper wads (as I didn't have maternity pads this early on!) and regular checking and luckily I think everything is okay... But seriously, was it just sweat??! Has anyone else experienced this?

Change of Midwife

I’m gutted, had the same midwife the whole way through (because my original midwife who I never actually saw was on long term sick leave) and now they have put me with the one that was off 😭 I’m probably being dramatic but I’m 5 weeks away from my due date and had so much confidence in my midwife and now I’ve been put with someone I’ve never met and not comfortable with 😭
