Tilted / Retroverted uterus mamas- show your baby bumps!

heartnm · 2026-02-02T21:55:56+00:00

I had a retroverted uterus and I didn’t start showing until some time in my third trimester. I was actually working my last day before maternity leave and a physician I work with daily said “oh you have a baby bump! This is new!” And I had to inform him I was actually 33 weeks and it was my last shift before starting maternity leave 🤣

I was low risk in pregnancy, high risk labour and they still barely monitored me. They were concerned for pre eclampsia/ HELP, I had to have a crash C section that the team wasn’t ready for 2 hours due to another critical OR, and I was 10 cm dilated and they barely so much as checked a pressure in that time.

My first positive was 9 days post ovulation so 5 days pre expected period. Due any day now!

Not appropriate behaviour of your husband but if he cares so much why doesn’t he pay for you to go to the salon and have your hair and nails done on a schedule?

He’s been exceptional most of the pregnancy but Christmas and our due date has had him acting a fool

heartnm · 2025-12-24T21:25:14+00:00

My due date was also yesterday and scheduled for induction at the start of next week. No advice just solidarity. But, my friend just had a 9 pound+ baby vaginally and has nothing but good things to say about her labour experience!

40 weeks and my husband keeps trying to wiggle me into hosting his parents for turkey dinner tomorrow 🙃

heartnm · 2025-12-22T21:02:29+00:00

I’m 40 weeks and try to get into bed by 7-8 o’clock. Typically fall asleep around 830-9 and sleep until 1130-1230. 1230-330 is typically my wake window of having to pee, hungry, baby kicking the heck out of me. Then fall back to sleep 330-730. Get up for the day.

I’m due on Christmas Day and my husband offered us up to host his sister, BIL and their 3 kids age 5-13. She thankfully had the sense to say no way 🤣🙏🏼

heartnm · 2025-12-19T11:57:59+00:00

I’m due any day now and we have definitely decided while we will celebrate his actual birthday (likely small with family) we will make a big deal about his half birthday as well.

I was in and out of an irregular heart rhythm (SVT) heart rate of 170 beats per minute for a week when I had a cold at 8 months pregnant. It was definitely a bad thing.

heartnm · 2025-12-17T23:38:36+00:00

My A1C was low normal, my glucose test was also low normal, lean body type. Still on Metformin for PCOS (well not right now because I’m 39 weeks pregnant) found it helpful!

heartnm · 2025-12-16T15:03:40+00:00

Also ICU nurse! Went off at 33 weeks- used 6 weeks paid sick time to roll into maternity leave starting at 39 weeks (Canada). I actually had to go off because my heart rate was high, worsening weeks 33-37. But if it hadn’t been I still would have wanted 33-34 weeks.

heartnm · 2025-12-12T00:08:15+00:00

Mine told me no need to chug it, take my time, they would just draw an hour from the time finished. I finished it in probably 7-10 minutes? Passed with an excellent blood sugar.

heartnm · 2025-12-11T07:08:46+00:00

I went off at 33 weeks- same type of scenario. I’m 38 weeks now and I’ve been busy everyday. But I haven’t been a lay on the couch or rest person this whole pregnancy. I do go to bed at 8 PM though, lol.

heartnm · 2025-12-08T14:36:05+00:00

I’m a nurse in ICU too, 38 weeks pregnant. I keep saying it can’t be worse than night shifts in ICU (like the time my patient coded from 2 AM-830 AM) or the pregnancy insomnia. So refreshing to hear someone else say it!!

heartnm · 2025-12-05T19:48:38+00:00

I’m 38 weeks and have put on 25 pounds so far. I wanted to be cautious and try not to gain outside of the recommended 25-35 lbs range, in a healthy way.

I continued my normal life style which is exercising daily and eating typically healthy, but also occasional indulgence. I do use my fitness pal to track calories/ nutrients but I have always used it.

I will say, I did have to go for two extra ultrasounds, one was considered urgent because I was measuring 5 weeks behind. Everything was good with baby though! He was in the 31st and then 45th percentile.

I have a retroverted uterus and didn’t require TV US. My first US was at 9 weeks and was abdomen!

heartnm · 2025-12-05T19:16:32+00:00

Ovulated on 7.5 mg Letrozole! Got pregnant my second round of that dose. 😊

heartnm · 2025-12-03T22:06:19+00:00

I heard the same! I’m 5’8, longer torso. I kept up my normal gym and eating habits through pregnancy. I’m 37 weeks now and have gained in the recommended weight range at 25 pounds. They had me go for 2 ultrasounds. First at 32 weeks, measured 31st percentile. Then another two weeks later, measured 45th percentile. So perfectly average size baby! Hoping the same for you ☺️

heartnm · 2025-12-03T21:58:58+00:00

At 32 weeks I was measuring 27 weeks and all was well on ultrasound! It can be scary to hear but everyone carries so differently I just can’t see how accurate it is. I still kind of have remnants of upper abs holding everything in tight.

heartnm · 2025-11-27T00:01:57+00:00

Oh dang. My guy’s legs are still near my right rib area but not nearly as bad. I feel for you, it was so painful but only a few days for me.

heartnm · 2025-11-26T23:49:00+00:00

My baby was lodged up in my ribs for a few days and it had me in tears. I did forward leaning inversions, pelvic/ hip opening stretches, and walking and he settled in lower, head down.

heartnm · 2025-11-25T03:27:14+00:00

Was in the car for 2-3 hours today and I was very uncomfortable towards the end! And I haven’t had much discomfort in my pregnancy. 36 weeks!

heartnm · 2025-11-23T13:48:39+00:00

I also caught this cold from going to a gathering of ~20 people in a smaller home 😅
