What are the precautions for pregnancy with twin uterus

If a woman has a double uterus, there is actually no need to worry about anything because it will not affect her fertility. However, she should pay attention to check-up before pregnancy and even more so after pregnancy because as the pregnancy progresses, the non-pregnant uterus may become blocked, leading to dystocia.

Precautions 1. Pre-pregnancy examination for twin uterus pregnancy

Patients with double uterus are discovered during pregnancy during prenatal examinations or when uterine hypoplasia affects the development of the fetus and hinders the descent of the fetal presenting part, leading to miscarriage or dystocia. Therefore, precautions for pregnancy with twin uterus should include pre-pregnancy check-ups. Women should pay attention to pre-pregnancy check-ups before preparing to become pregnant. Through examination, adverse factors of pregnancy can be ruled out, such as uterine hypoplasia, reproductive tract inflammation, fallopian tube obstruction, etc. If a woman is found to have a double uterus during examination, she can first determine the specific conditions of the two uteruses through examination. Generally speaking, one of the two uteruses is well-developed while the other is underdeveloped. At this time, you can monitor the ovulation of the ovaries through B-ultrasound, and try to get pregnant when the ovary on the good side of the uterus ovulates. This can prevent the fetus from implanting in the underdeveloped uterus, affecting the normal growth of the fetus and causing miscarriage. To sum up, the precautions for pregnancy with double uterus should focus on pre-pregnancy and prenatal examinations and diagnosis to avoid harm to the fetus and pregnant woman caused by miscarriage, dystocia, etc.

Note 2: Pregnancy check for twin uterus pregnancy

Because one side of the uterus of patients with double uterus is underdeveloped, it is easy to cause dysmenorrhea due to the inability to discharge menstrual blood normally. Women with two uteruses may be affected by the menstrual cycles of the two uteruses when they menstruate, so they often have symptoms such as heavy menstrual flow and prolonged menstrual period. In addition, because there are two ovaries, even with normal contraception, twin pregnancy still occurs frequently. So in addition to the precautions for twin pregnancy, for women with twin uterus, the best contraceptive method is for the husband to use condoms. In addition, women with a double uterus are more likely to give birth to twins than other normal women. This may be caused by one fertilized egg splitting into two fetuses, or two fertilized eggs implanting and developing at the same time. But it does not mean that women with a double uterus will definitely give birth to twins. It is worth noting that what is even more unavoidable in a twin uterus pregnancy is ectopic pregnancy. It can be seen that once a woman with a double uterus becomes pregnant again, she must do a good job of pregnancy check-up, which is also the key point to pay attention to when having a double uterus pregnancy.

Note 3: Late delivery in a double uterus pregnancy

After a double uterus pregnancy, as the pregnancy time prolongs, the pregnant uterus will develop and grow accordingly. At this time, if the non-pregnant uterus is located in the rectouterine fossa, it may cause obstructive dystocia during delivery. In addition, after giving birth, women with double uterus may suffer from heavy bleeding due to the expulsion of the uterine cavity from the non-pregnant side. Therefore, for pregnancy with double uterus, it is necessary to monitor the fetus and observe the female uterus during pregnancy. If any adverse conditions are found, the pregnancy should be terminated immediately.
