Uterine Septum

JessicaG220

I posted briefly yesterday about a dr appointment with a specialist. He confirmed that my uterine septum was completely unrelated to Ava's stillbirth, and that it was an unfortunate cord accident. He highly suggests having my septum corrected because of the high risk for miscarriage and fertility problems. On one hand, I want the best chance possible to conceive again and carry a baby full term. I don't think I can handle another loss. But on the other, I feel like Ava was conceived without problems and I could carry another baby since it was a freak occurrence. I'm scared of surgery. I scheduled it for next Wednesday. From everything I've read, it's a fairly common and routine procedure. I'm a wreck!

I feel like I'm outside myself watching someone else go through my life... When did life become so complicated? I wish we could all just have the sweet babies that we long for.

good luck with surgery hon, if it reduces risk...why not? I find comfort in the "freak accident" statement because the likelihood of it happening again is so small. It's hard that it happened to us, BUT it shouldn't happen again.

Thanks. I am very nervous, but I think everything will be ok. It will be worth it to give my baby the best chance at life. I will post an update next week!

I also think having the surgery is a good idea, taking that step forward to have a healthy baby in your arms is worth it. Keep us updated!!

Thank you to both of you.  I am sitting here on my couch and my husband is in bed passed out.  We decided to have a night in together and enjoy some cocktails...  if only he had listened to me when I told him he can't handle Jack Daniels    We had a very, very long talk about missing Ava, my surgery, and deeply longing for a baby.  Knowing all of the odds and statistics, we both still cannot believe it happened to us.  It just makes you realize that nothing protects you 100%.  You are always vulnerable, no matter how much you pray or how well you take care of yourself.  I so, so hope one day I will be sitting in this same spot on my couch with a baby in my arms. 

Goodnight, ladies!
