  1. There are a lot of reasons it could be. I lost a healthy, beautiful boy about this child's gestation 22 years ago. I just . . . lost him. The cervix opened and out he came. A year later, I had some imaging done of my uterus and it was totally partitioned into 2 cavities, and it was then we knew why our boy died--he had just run out of room. Surgery that cut the partition (septum) in two allowed me to give birth at term, and that baby is now 19.

  2. The pelvis modifies and feet spread, too. Walking or rolling over in bed can get to be really painful.

  3. I had a lot of miscarriages due to a malformed uterus, so pregnancy was a fearful time for me. Just getting one to term (after corrective surgery) was possibly the toughest thing I ever did.

  4. Sorry that happened to you. That was my biggest fear, carrying my son to term with a past perforation of the uterine fundus.

  5. I have a septate uterus that caused me to miscarry 7 of my 8 pregnancies, some early, some late. But I spent so much money on that and on having 2 corrective surgeries that I'd hate to need a hysterectomy, now. If my bizarre old uterus ever has to come out, I'm having it bronzed and put on my mantel.

  6.  Emptied-ln3ux  It is usually just a developmental accident. Two ducts merge into one, but the middle wall fails to dissolve around 20 weeks before birth. It can be genetic, but it's usually unknown cause. Causes lots of miscarriages.

  7. Brains are gross. I knelt in a puddle of them, once, on an ambulance run. They had ejected out of the nose of a boy struck by a car. Instantly killed, of course. It's been 34 years and I still feel bad about that little boy.

  8.  @sladkydevotchka  What bothered me is that he swiped at his nose with his wrist while still wearing those brainy gloves. He'll give himself kuru.

  9. My father had that, at age 71, after having a grand mal sz while driving, and taking the steering wheel smack in the center of his chest. I remember the angiogram, watching the apex balloon out with every beat. His ejection fraction was 12! Long story short, it rebounded to 45 within days.

  10. @Caitlyn A Yes, no symptoms except in retrospect, period cramps were really bad. My deformity happens to 1 in 50, but usually not as severely as mine was, with a total septum.
