I have what’s known as a unicornate uterus - it is half a uterus. I was born with only the left side of my uterus meaning I have two ovaries, but only one Fallopian tube and my uterus is half the size of a regular womb. Carrying a twin pregnancy would be very dangerous for me - I’m carrying one baby.

After 2.5 years of trying with no success, we thankfully got pregnant from our first <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IVF</a> transfer! With unicornate uteruses also having higher risk of miscarriage, incompetent cervix and much higher risk for preterm labour - I can’t believe at 35w and 3d that I’m still pregnant! 😱

I never thought I’d be capable of carrying a pregnancy this far.

I’ve been seeing my OB roughly every 2 weeks and by the grace of God, no complications so far other than a SCH at 10weeks that was resolved by 20 weeks.

I keep setting myself new goal posts. First I prayed to get past 12 weeks, then 24, 30, then 34. Now I’m hoping to get to 37 weeks to deliver this angel at full-term! 🙏🏼

I just wanted to share because I’m SO grateful to be pregnant and be a part of this July 2020 group. If you were to tell me 3+ years ago that I’d be here, I would never believe it. Anyone else have a unicornate uterus or similar story? 😊
