pregnancy without uterus
Posted: 06-19-08 04:43am

I am a rare case of pregnancy without uterus. I have made it 20 weeks so far and still doing ok. I had my uterus removed over 10 years ago but they left my tubes and ovaries. The drs said i had a 1 in 10,000 chance of ever conceiving because I had very good working ovaries and are very fertile.

Where is this child located if it is not within a uterus? How is it protected or the rest of your body protected from the fetus?

Additionally, 1 in 10,000 odds are pretty good, considering your tubes would be tied off and burned and your cervix more than likely isn't just open to your abdomen.

This is truly a miracle. I hope you have contacted the media. I'm sure TLC or the Discovery channel would like to do a show about it.

Good luck!

It has attached itself to a good healthy organ. It is very dangerous for both of us that's why my dr is putting me on complete bedrest as of aug 1st.
My tubes were never burnt nor tied. I requested them not to be.
I have not contacted the media yet. I am waiting until later to make sure there are no complications and the baby survives. I don't want to jinx this baby.

Girl, if you are 20 weeks, might as well get that media involved. You could be making some money off this!

By the way, the other person who had written in this thread about being pregnant without a uterus - yeah... she wasn't. In fact, you might be one of the first credible ones who have done this. I'm sure the Discover Channel would be happy to pay your extraordinary medical bills and help you.

Have you seen Jon & Kate on TLC? They are making some money off that stuff. Plus they get to go on Oprah and all that. You should sign up for some of that!

why wouldn't you be on bedrest now? Waiting til 27wks seems a little long to be endangering both your lives.
