An enlarged uterus doesn't produce any health complications, but the conditions that cause it can. For example, besides the pain and discomfort associated with fibroids, these uterine tumors can reduce fertility, and cause pregnancy and childbirth complications.

Women with a septate uterus can have a normal reproductive life, but it may add complications to pregnancy. There is a higher risk for miscarriage, premature labor or breech presentation (when the baby's feet come out first), which usually requires a Caesarean section.

1. Stretching of the uterus. During the first weeks of pregnancy, you likely won't notice your uterus growing or expanding. But by the 12th week, your uterus stretches and grows to about the size of a grapefruit.

This is a commonly occurring issue in women, making them think that they would have complexities in their menstrual cycles and pregnancy. But having an anteverted uterus is perfectly normal and it doesn't affect a woman's ability to get pregnant.

Having a tilted uterus should not affect a woman's ability to have a healthy pregnancy. In fact, being pregnant may cause the growing uterus to tip backward. In most cases, there is no impact on labor or delivery.

Uterine polyps might be associated with infertility. If you have uterine polyps and you're unable to have children, removal of the polyps might allow you to become pregnant, but the data are inconclusive.

Studies show that in most cases, it is only submucosal fibroids which protrude into the uterus that may affect fertility. There are exceptions including large fibroids that block the openings of fallopian tubes into the uterus. Most women who have fibroids will not face infertility as a result.

Adenomyosis. Anti-inflammatory medications, like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and hormonal contraception such as the birth control pill can help relieve the pain and heavy bleeding associated with adenomyosis. These medications won't help to decrease the size of an enlarged uterus, however.

Having larger ovaries does not automatically mean the egg reserve is higher. Ovaries can also be enlarged due to disorders or tumours. In these cases, women will not ovulate normally and will hence have difficulty conceiving. Women with polycystic ovaries can have ovaries that become as large as 15 cm in diameter.

Some women are able to conceive within a few months after completing these hormonal therapies. If these treatments don't help, your doctor may recommend surgery to help you get pregnant. Adenomyosis may sound similar to other reproductive health conditions like endometriosis and uterine fibroids.

About one in 25,000 women with uterus didelphys gets pregnant with twins, one to each uterus. [That means the likelihood of any given woman growing two babies in two separate wombs is about one in 50 million.]

Pregnancy after a hysterectomy is extremely rare, but when it does happen it, is considered a life-threatening medical emergency. If you want to become pregnant, you will need to do so prior to having a hysterectomy, as it will no longer be possible to bear children after the surgery.

Many women who have fibroids can get pregnant naturally. Treatment may not even be necessary for conception. In some cases, however, fibroids can impact your fertility.

With an ectopic pregnancy, ovulation and fertilization may occur, but there is essentially no chance of a fetus surviving. Without a uterus to support the birth, it is next to impossible to carry to term.

A high cervix means that your uterus is placed "high" in the abdominal/pelvic cavity — usually it is suspended just above the vaginal canal. This should not affect your ability to become pregnant, though.

Sometimes, babies with IUGR keep growing in the uterus. If your baby keeps gaining some weight, an early delivery may not be needed. But if your baby is not growing or has other problems, your doctor may decide that an early delivery could help. In this case, your doctor may want to induce labor.
