Hi there,
I am 17 1/2 weeks pregnant, and on all of my last three scans there is band / line of tissue going from top to bottom through my uterus (almost like the divider you would see when having twins). I only have one baby in there, and her head is pushing up against this as of my last scan (16 weeks). At first the only worry was that she would not have enough room to develop if it didn't stretch along with the uterus as it expanded. At my last appt. my doctor said I needed to see a perinatologist to see what exactly this is made of (scar tissue from a previous miscarriage or amniotic band /membrane). It has been over a week, and I still haven't heard from the perinatologist to even get an appt. I made the mistake of looking up amniotic bands and found out this can be really dangerous and actually attach to the baby which can cause serious problems. Does anyone on here have any experience with this / know about this or went through anything like this? I am so worried and am trying to ease my mind. Thanks.
