My Mom has a septate uterus, she delivered my younger brother [in 1990] by midwife, at home. In the middle of labor her contractions completely ceased for approx. 1 hr., the midwives were able to begin her contractions again and labor continued successfully. Once my brother was born her uterus would not contract back. They gave her a shot of pictosin and four midwives put their knees and elbows into her uterus to contract it [which did, thankfully]. Does anyone know why this would happen, or if it is related to her septate uterus?
