Retroverted Uterus? So far back unable to complete US??

Question

Hey ladies, I had my 12 week US today which has to be abdominal. They were unable to look at the nuchal b/c my uterus is so far back.

I have to go back next week to hopefully see the baby better...

Anyone else?

Answer

I have the same problem. Make sure you drink 16oz of water 45 minutes before the appointment and don't go to the bathroom. The ultrasound tech said that if I hadn't had a full bladder she wouldn't have been able to see the baby.

Answer

Me too. Though they could find baby on external ultrasound they couldn't see baby vaginally. My uterus is C shaped and retroverted. Crazy!

Answer

That was me.  I had to go back a week and a half later to get the NT scan done.  It still took a long time with the ultrasound tech digging the wand into my belly.

Answer

Mine is titled back too so the sonographer yesterday had to press really hard into my abdomen to get the pics and measurements. She said her heart sank when she saw the word 'retroverted' in my notes!

It took a long time and I felt a bit prodded and bruised afterwards but she was just about able to get the CRL and NT in the end. She had a nightmare though, it definitely wasn't easy.

I keep being told the uterus will right itself eventually as baby grows, just hope it's in a better position in time for my 20 week scan.

Answer

I have the same problem.  Could see the baby barely,  made out a heartbeat and kicks, but couldn't hear or measure the heartbeat.  Hoping this baby comes forward so I can hear it's heartbeat.  Makes me nuts!!
