Every ultrasound since then has been abdominal, they just couldn't get a good view when she was so tiny (I was 8 weeks 3 days). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2437617 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 13:05:05 +0000 HLK208 2437617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone for the reassurance!</p> <p>@bluestriped bee: thank you!! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2437396 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 11:07:04 +0000 BSB 2437396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was told I had a tilted uterus when I was like 25 and I've asked about it since then. I guess it's possible to go away with time because I haven't heard it brought up since. </p> <p>@HLK208: Congrats!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2437193 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 09:30:14 +0000 daniellemybelle 2437193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My uterus was tilted and I never had an issue with ultrasounds. But we also did transvaginal, I think every time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2437122 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 09:01:31 +0000 stargal 2437122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had ultrasounds done at 10 weeks abd they always had to do a TU and regular one bx they couldn't get the measurements feom the tu. I wouldnt worry (i know hard not to but i think its just so hard to measure accurately esp not using a tu!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2437099 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 08:42:34 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2437099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No experience with a TU, but doing an abdominal ultrasound at this point so early could also make it really hard to get an accurate date. Doing something transvaginal lets them look much closer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2437002 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 03:32:05 +0000 lamariniere 2437002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My uterus is tilted and heart shaped and I never had issues with ultrasounds. Try not to worry! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2436778 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 20:21:36 +0000 MrsSCB 2436778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: oh I was assuming TV -- I think it would for sure be harder to get a good look with abdominal! I wouldn't worry about it, but I'm glad you have another US next week for peace of mind :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2436771 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 20:12:26 +0000 kodybear 2436771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: ah ok. I can see how abdominal us with a tilted uterus can be hard to measure. I'm surprised they didn't do a tv us for you that early. Even at 12 wks they did both for me since some things were still hard to measure. Something like this happened to someone in our due date group and it turned out well. Hopefully you get some answers soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2436769 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 20:12:12 +0000 MrsRoo 2436769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Try not to worry! It is a normal variant, and it's just more difficult to see an early pregnancy trans abdominally if your uterus is tilted. Having a full bladder helps sometimes, but not always. The best way to see is going to be with a transvaginal ultrasound. If your doc got a good heart rate, that's the most important thing. I know it's frustrating to not have accurate dates yet, but as least it sounds like you have a healthy bean so far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2436725 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 19:30:14 +0000 HLK208 2436725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GreenThumb: thanks! That's reassuring! @ShootingStar: like a transvaginal ultrasound? Nope...it was abdominal.<br /> @coopsmama: I should be 10 weeks today (according to when I ovulated). But you're right, all babies are different. Maybe this baby will be a peanut like N? She's still in the 3rd percentile for weight, haha.<br /> @kodybear: thanks!! It was abdominal but he wasn't pressing very hard on my stomach!<br /> @agold: thank you :)<br /> @MrsSCB: @winniebee: yes, I have another ultrasound next week so we'll be able to get a better look. Trying not to worry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2436711 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 19:15:26 +0000 winniebee 2436711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one with my first and my Ob said it was just a normal anatomical variation, like being left handed or having one breast bigger than the other. No reason to be concerned about it. I had a different OB with my second and she never mentioned anything.</p> <p>Can you do a follow up ultrasound? Hope all is well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2436668 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 18:26:16 +0000 agold 2436668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: Hi fellow August mom! Your ultrasound picture of the baby looked great! My baby was measuring pretty behind during my first ultrasounds and it freaked me out. But after a couple of weeks the baby began to catch up! Its so hard to measure in these early weeks. If the doctor said there is nothing to worry about, then I wouldn't worry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2436664 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 18:22:07 +0000 kodybear 2436664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a tilted uterus but the measurements were pretty accurate. Did they do a TV or abdominal us? I could see how it could be an issue for abdominal. Sometimes the us tech had to push extra hard with the abdominal us to get good readings in the beginning. Tv should be better but maybe if it's super tilted they might have issues? Hoping the best for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2436659 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 18:18:07 +0000 MrsSCB 2436659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: I'll have my NT scan two weeks from today. That will actually be my third US. I had one pretty early on and they only saw the gestational sac and yolk sac, so they didn't even suggest a due date then. I was a bit nervous, but everything had progressed at the next one and there was a strong heartbeat. I think it's great they found a good heartbeat today. When's your next US? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2436658 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 18:17:34 +0000 coopsmama 2436658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wait, you're exactly two weeks behind me, right? I think? (By LMP I mean...) So today's ultrasound was supposed to be at 9 weeks 4 days? Because I looked at ultrasounds pictures for that 9 weeks and some looked like yours! And aren't all babies different? Some grow faster, some slower? I feel like there's a range and at that point a heartbeat is most important - and clearly from the picture you posted in the group, there's a baby in there! So I'm sure everything is just fine. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2436657 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 18:16:55 +0000 ShootingStar 2436657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did they not do an internal ultrasound? I have a tilted uterus and it was never an issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2436653 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 18:09:35 +0000 GreenThumb 2436653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have a tilted uterus. While no one ever mentioned it as a reason for a challenging u/s, my first one with my daughter, she measured almost a week behind but then was caught up by the next one. A good heartbeat is definitely encouraging though! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2436648 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 18:05:26 +0000 HLK208 2436648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: that makes me feel better! Hopefully it's just harder to measure early on?? Will you have another ultrasound soon? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2436627 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 17:35:40 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2436627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a tilted uterus and they never had any issues seeing things on ultrasound during my pregnancy. Glad they were able to see a strong heartbeat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2436618 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 17:22:27 +0000 MrsSCB 2436618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi fellow August mom! I was also told I had a tilted uterus when I went to my last US. I measured a week behind what I would have been based on LMP (I measured eight weeks at the time). The tech did say it was a bit harder to get a good view because of it. I asked if there was anything to be concerned about regarding the tilt and my doc said no, it's more just a physical attribute, like being left-handed. The only other thing they said was that hopefully that would be my last TV ultrasound, but it's possible that it will still be difficult to see properly with an abdominal at my next appointment. I hope all is well at your next appointment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2436617 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 17:22:25 +0000 travelgirl1 2436617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a tilted uterus, I found out because my acupuncturist told me (from reading a copy of an ultrasound report, no one else ever mentioned it). It never affected ultrasounds. Great there was a strong heartbeat! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ultrasounds-with-tilted-uterus#post-2436611 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 17:15:29 +0000 HLK208 2436611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was anyone else not able to see the baby well because of a tilted uterus??</p> <p>I've had over a dozen ultrasounds within the past 7 years and I've never been told I have a tilted uterus. My OB said it was tilted today during my dating ultrasound (so maybe my third birth tipped it). I've always been able to get accurate dates on my previous babies and my doctor wasn't able to get an accurate measurement today. Right now, baby is measuring 2 weeks behind. Its making me a little nervous that the baby looked so small! There was a strong heart beat. I got an early positive test so I didn't ovulate later than I originally thought. 😁 </p>
