could having a tilted uterus be a contributing fact as to why my baby was posterior?

Question

my nana was told she would never concieved as her womb was titlted. at the Age of 29 she finally concieved my mother (her only child).
when i had my first scan when pg with my daughter i to was told that my unterus was tilted in an awkwrd position making it hard for sonagapher to make my baby out.
i never thought any more of it until the other day. my daughter was found to be posterior from at least 35 weeks... but then told in hospital 3 times during labaour that i had dialted during examination, when infact this was not the case but the baby being posterior and not my cervix. as a result i was left unnessasarily for a further 13 hours because they thought there was progression when they wasn't.

could this have been why, having a tilted womb this had occured??? i did all my excersises to try and and get her in the correct position prior. so it seems a little odd, i hardly ever sat down.
and
what could this mean for future pg's???
any info would be welcomed

Answer 1

I don't know, but I have a tilted uterus. I never had any problems conceiving or during my pregnancy or birth. I did have an ultrasound at 10 weeks to confirm the due date and because of my tilted uterus they had to do a vaginal ultrasound instead of an abdominal one, but that was the only "problem" I had with it. I don't know if it caused your problems, but I don't think that you will necessarily have any problems with future pregnancies.

Answer 2

I also have a tilted uterus and both my kids were vaginal deliveries. I do not know about the posterior issue, but neither of mine were, and my uterus is far back and tilted, so it may have just been the way your baby settled. I do not think it will mean your next will be the same way, I would recommend you see an OBGYN with your next, if you did not with the first. I had family doctor for both of mine but given the problem you had they may be a little more experienced with that sort of thing.
Just a note of encouragement, I had a hard (not long) delivery with my first, my cervix would not go from 9 1/2 to 10 so the doctor had to force it to get her out, very painful and the stupid nurse would not listen to me, she kept saying your a first time mom, you don't need checked yet, and by the time she actually did it, it was too late for an epidural. With my second it was a breeze I had no problems at all, and I got the epidural that time. So your next baby may be a much better experience as far as labor etc. goes.
