She said it hasn't presented any problems for her through two pregnancies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/retroverted-uterus#post-166694 Wed, 23 May 2012 18:11:59 +0000 sulli301 166694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: haha yeah I'm 25 &amp; I just mentioned that because I've been going to the OB since I was 18 &amp; I've never heard that before! LOL</p> <p>@Mrsbells: yes! tilted, reversed, retroverted are all the same </p> <p>@kodybear: interesting! thanks :) Does it tilt to "normal" at 10-12 weeks? i read that online but was unsure of what that meant. I didn't know enough to ask questions until I googled it &amp; now I have questions for next appointment!</p> <p>@mrskc: huh! I have no idea if anyone in my family has one, I'll ask my mom </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/retroverted-uterus#post-166691 Wed, 23 May 2012 18:07:43 +0000 mrskc 166691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep I was told I have one at my ultrasound at 7 weeks. The tech said there's nothing wrong with having one and they can actually run in families. My grandma had one too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/retroverted-uterus#post-166660 Wed, 23 May 2012 17:18:47 +0000 kodybear 166660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: yep! its tilted backwards. </p> <p>i have one. the only difference in pregnancy is that it may take longer to hear the heartbeat with a doppler. but i was able to find the heartbeat at 11 wks 3 days which is pretty normal. the uterus should straighten up to normal after the first trimester tho so maybe you got it after your last pregnancy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/retroverted-uterus#post-166653 Wed, 23 May 2012 17:13:34 +0000 Mrsbells 166653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dont know what retroverted uterus means either. Does it mean its tipped back? Because I found out my uterus was tilted backwards and I only discovered that when I was 6 weeks pregnant </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/retroverted-uterus#post-166625 Wed, 23 May 2012 16:50:13 +0000 chopsuey 166625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never heard of a retroverted uterus! Had no idea you were only 25! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/retroverted-uterus#post-166561 Wed, 23 May 2012 15:29:53 +0000 sulli301 166561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Today my doctor told me I had a retroverted uterus &amp; I said "wait really?!" I'm 25 years old &amp; no OBGYN has ever told me that! He was my doctor for DD &amp; maybe he said it, but if he did I certainly didn't hear him. I heard that it can happen with childbirth, but he made it sound like I was probably born with it. He said it was like red hair or green eyes &amp; about 1 in 5 women has them. Anyone else? </p>
