Patient's question:
Bicornuate uterus, with pregnancy on the right side. Currently at 24 weeks, the baby moves a lot when lying on the left side. Which side should I sleep on for the pregnancy on the right side?Doctor's answer:
Bicornuate uterus is a reproductive tract malformation, and its recurrence is due to normal development of both Müllerian ducts during embryonic development but incomplete fusion, resulting in the formation of a bicornuate uterus with separate fallopian tubes, each fully functional. In the late stages of pregnancy, it is recommended to sleep on the left side for naps to prevent the fetus from choking, although this is not mandatory. If the baby shows no abnormalities, there is no need to insist on sleeping on the left side. Sleep as comfortably as possible.
