Listener Q&A - Can I have a vaginal birth with a bicornuate uterus?

In this shorty episode I'm answering a listener question that was sent to me via Instagram DM -"Hi Dr. Rankins! I love your podcast and just signed up for your free birth class. I’m [in my first trimester]. This is my first pregnancy and I’m a little nervous. I was born with one kidney and a bicornuate uterus. I am learning I may be at higher risk for breech and may have to have a c-section. Maybe this can be a small topic for a future podcast. Any information you have about women with a “heart-shaped” uterus giving birth would be amazing, and if vaginal birth is possible. Thank you for all you do! You are wonderful! -Monica:)"If you want me to answer your question on an upcoming episode, shoot me a DM on Instgram @drnicolerankins and be sure to follow me while you're there!Check out my FREE birth plan class! drnicolerankins.com/birthplanOur Sponsors:* Check out Ritual and get 25% off your first month! - https://ritual.com/DRNICOLE* Give Armoire a try and get up to 50% off your first month, that’s up to $125 OFF!
