Can a retroverted uterus cause a woman to go for a c section? or can one have a normal delievery with a retroverted uterus?

C/S: A retroverted uterus makes no difference in likelihood of route of delivery. A vaginal delivery is absolutely a possibility.

Normal delivery OK: A retroverted uterus is one that's tilted towards your back, rather than your abdomen; it occurs in 20% of women and does not have symptoms, RARELY associated with discomfort. It can't be prevented and there's no need to treat b/c it won't affect your fertility/ability to continue a pregnancy/have a vaginal delivery. It can only be a problem if caused by past surgeries/endometriosis, otherwise OK.
