A member asked:
Is it possible for a retroverted uturus to complicate pregnancy?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Yes but this is very rare. I've only seen it once where the uterus fails to come forward. It would be extremely uncomfortable to carry a pregnancy like this.

Yes.: Especially at your age, if fibroids or endometriosis/adhesions prevent the gravid retroverted and retrofelxed uterus rising from the pelvis into the abdomen by 14-16 weeks you can have the so-called incarcerated or entrapped gravid uterus that can cause fetal loss, uterine rupture and acute abdominopelvic pain. Seek care with a maternal-fetal medicine specialist and take Folic Acid 1-5 mg daily!
