What is a bicornuate uterus, and how can it affect pregnancy?

A bicornuate uterus is a rare congenital condition where the uterus has two distinct horns or cavities, instead of the typical single cavity. This can affect pregnancy in several ways:

1. Miscarriage: Increased risk of miscarriage due to inadequate space for fetal growth.
2. Preterm labor: Higher risk of preterm labor and delivery.
3. Fetal growth restriction: Limited space can restrict fetal growth and development.
4. Abnormal fetal presentation: Babies may be positioned abnormally, leading to complications during delivery.
5. Placenta previa: Increased risk of placenta previa, where the placenta covers the cervix.
6. Cesarean delivery: Higher likelihood of needing a C-section due to complications.
7. Pregnancy-related hypertension: Increased risk of developing high blood pressure during pregnancy.
