If you have a tipped/retroverted uterus...

momofmanyinthemitten · June 2012

When poop/gas is moving into my rectum, it hurts really bad-as in contraction bad-I double over and it takes my breath away. This happened throughout my whole first pregnancy, my m/c pregnancy, and now this pregnancy. I'm just wondering if it's a tipped uterus thing or just my funky body.

I don't have my first real appt until july 11th when I'm 10 weeks, but years ago my GYN told me my uterus was tipped. I haven't had any problems so far. I'd call your dr and ask!

I have a tipped uterus, and have never had that happen, sorry. At this point I think my uterus has straightened itself out, as I can feel it pretty easily about 2 inches below my belly button.

Just found out that I have a retroverted uterus yesterday (who knew!). I have not had this problem...sorry

My uterus is a little tipped but I don't think the two are related... however, I think I recognize the pain you're having as I have it occasionally (but not since getting pregnant). I don't know the cause but I have always assumed it was related to constipation, when the muscles were tight, or the stool was too hard. If this is something that you feel everytime you pass gas or have to poop, I would *definitely* ask your doctor.

Yes I do. I have cramping pain when I have to make a bowel movemanet and my gas pains has gotten way worse since I been pregnant. My obgyn says that it does happen to some women with a tipped uterus.

I have noticed this just the slightest too. My tailbone hurts all the time though so it might be related to something else. I think I hurt my tailbone in college and now I've been noticing it a lot again even when I just sit for a while or when I sit on something hard.

I haven't had that issue. I was told by my OB that the tilted position will change throughout the pregnancy. If one has anything to do with other hopefully your symptoms will resolve.

My ultrasound tech told me my uterus is chillin' on my spine. (Back aches explained!) But that it should right itself. I don't have any of the problems you mentioned at all except the back aches.

I'm hoping it will right itself real soon!

A positive note to a tipped uterus... you don't have to pee that often!

Interesting to know that it means you have to go less often. I'm tipped tooo. I don't notice having to go more during the day - only that I can't sleep through the night with out going once.

I dont think I have a tipped uterus but this also happens to me... actually its happened even before I was pregnant.... its annoying though.. I feel ya.

I had some suuuuper bad gas pains early on, just like that, where I'd double over. I didn't put it together that it could have been due to the position of my uterus, which is tilted & retroverted. Or,...was... I don't know if it has straightened up yet. The pains haven't been there, so maybe.
