I'm not pregnant and never have been, but what about pregnancy in the future and giving birth? I'm just wondering.
Also- how common is it to have the Uterus on the left?

Yes, it's called a normal variant. I am a sonographer and have seen thousands of them. It depends on the ligaments. Most, in fact, are not perfectly positioned in the middle. Most I see are off to one side a bit, even flopped backwards! The ability to conceive is typically not affected. So, don't worry, you are perfectly normal! :)

Do you mean you have half a uterus? This is called a unicornuate uterus and I answered a question similar to this for someone else here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=At_HmOhy2aCBq6cFT29It_3ty6IX?qid=20070319092427AAs6axa&show=7#profile-info-09811c5e99d4f13b97cc3ad2130af9a5aa
If this is the case then it may cause problems with regards to potential premature labour, but shouldn't cause problems as far as actually getting pregnant: http://health.ivillage.com/infertility/gynofertmed/0,,6hg5,00.html
If you have a normal uterus then it will be in the middle, not on the left. How do you know it is on the left? Have you had a scan that has shown this, or something similar to show it? Or do you just think it is on the left?
If you can clarify a little then it would be easier to answer :)
EDIT: If the doctor says it is to the left then he probably just means it is leaning somewhat to the left, it doesn't mean the whole thing is on the left or too small or will cause any problems with pregnancy at all.
Both sides of our bodies are not the same, one breast is bigger than the other, our eyes are different shapes and our feet different sizes. They may only be minute differences, but they are there.
My cervix, for example, tilts slightly backwards after having my son. All that means is that it can be a little more uncomfortable having an iud fitted or having a smear test.
Sounds to me like you have nothing to worry about at all. If you did then your doctor would have said something at the time or sent you for tests/scans :)

Your uterus is 'connected to' your body only at the 'base of your pelvis' near your cervix ... it is otherwise 'floating around' inside your body, and your doctor just said 'it's a bit on the left' which is 'somewhat unusual' but should not stop you from having children in the future. If you are 'worried' about this you should have a 'long sit down talk' with your doctor and ask him 'what' if anything you can 'do' about this.

Sound's like you have a tilted uterus, many people live fine w/ it- right now, I have a prolapsed uterus(which mean's, it's coming down my vaginal opening!!!) so, I know a bit about uterus problem's! What has your Dr. said about it? if you have any more Q's on it- call him or her & ease your mind!
