anyone have a tilted uterus?

coreysmomma · September 2011

The woman who did my u/s just mentioned it, but said it didn't really mean anything. My lower back has been pretty sore the last couple of days, so I am wondering if that could be why. Anyone have a tilted uterus and if so, did the doctor say anything interesting about it?

Thank you, ladies!

I do, my doctor isn't concerned about it. It makes it a little harder for me to pee.

In the what to expect book, it says it usually fixes itself during the pregnancy (which i suppose means becomes un-tilted).

Yes but my doctor hasn't mentioned anything about it. It seems to be fairly common.

Me too. During the exam with my OB he told me I had a retroverted uterus, but that it wasn't anything to be concerned about and wouldn't cause any problems with the pregnancy. I think it's possible 1-in-3 to 1-in-5* women have a retroverted or tilted uterus.

*according to Wikipedia. Don't know why they couldn't just say, "about 1-in-4"

I have one and it corrected itself while pregnant with dd and then went back to its normal afterwards. I think I have more backpain due to it but that could be me coming up with excuses.

ME! I also get back pain from it

Thank you ladies.

My lower back is really uncomfortable and I am just wondering if that could be why...

I have one but my doctor said it's no big deal. She said it will straighten out over the course of the pregnancy.

I do. Only thing I have been told and has been proven is no HB on Doppler bc ute is so far away from my abdomen. Mine is still tucked away for now.

I'm tilted as well, and my Dr. said nothing about it, except all signs point to ok for me!

I have one too. No real issues with first two pregnancies or this one either, except a sore lower back (this is also where my period cramps were too.) This may be TMI but after kids, certain sexual positions hurt. The DR told me it might fell like he is hitting my uterine wall & that's probably because he is. It makes some of our favorites not so much fun anymore.

I do. I have also heard that it fixes itself during pregnancy.

I was told by my first gyno that I had a tilted uterus. It makes sense because I have pain with certain ST positions, and I had a lot of trouble putting in tampons when I was first using them.

But my current Obgyn said it isn't tilted. So I'm not sure what to think.
