I am 32 years old. I have three kids under the age of 10. my tubes have been tied for two years. I really want to have another baby. My Obgyn dr said my uterus line is thin. I’m not sure what that means

Your uterine line is the blood that lines the uterus that nourishes the embryo and allows for implantation. If this line is thin it cannot support a healthy pregnancy

U need to ask when you are there for the most accurate answer.

Thats a question for the dr really. If the lining in your uterus is too thin or thick you may have issues conceiving or carrying a baby full term. The uterine lining is what you shed with your period each cycle.

Like Natalia said, the uterine lining is what baby implants in. But depending on where you are in your cycle that can be normal. Typically it builds up to a certain point until your period starts and it’s shed during your period if a fertilized egg doesn’t implant. Ask your doc about monitoring it to see if it will build up to where it should be to sustain a pregnancy or if it stays thin throughout your whole cycle.

Basically if you get pregnant again you have a very good chance of your uterus tearing & the thing with that is , you will or could lost your baby, & you could & can hemorrhage to death… Please be thankful with what you have & you have what a lot of woman want & that is just to get pregnant & have one baby

Thin uterine lining can be normal depending on what part of your cycle you are in. But if it’s constantly thin then your chances of conceiving and carrying a baby naturally (without medical help) are slim. Progesterone can help, but you should really be talking to your OBGYN about it and ask for a referral to a fertility specialist if your uterine lining is consistently thin and your OB doesn’t feel comfortable treating that issue.

Best is to speak to your Dr and ask them to explain exactly whats what… And what your chances are with trying to have another baba.
Good luck hope it all works out…

It could mean that during labor, the uterus could rupture (tear) and cause hemorrhage. Your doctor may have something that can help or may recommend a C-section. You can always ask for more info and seek a second opinion!
Oh I feel for you I did the stupid thing of getting my tubes tied even though I was with a man who had a vasectomy he taught me into it stupidest thing I ever did in my life I want a baby now so bad I’m 49 though and now nothing can be done the original doctor that tied my tubes he went back in a few years later and tried to fix it he can only fix one side but I was never able to get pregnant so I tell everybody my niece is pregnant right now she said she’s getting her tubes tied I told her do not do it take birth control something else cuz you say you don’t want one now but in the end you’re going to want another one and if you do that you’re more or less permanently blocked from it I would think about that too because having another one because if you’re thin then like somebody had said you wouldn’t be able to have a healthy pregnancy then I would think about it not doing it if it’s going to be a bad pregnancy

I’m 21 and have 2 kids and I was told the same thing I was told this during my first pregnancy and I delivered him 33 weeks not because my uterus was thin I was high risk fast forward 5 years got pregnant again had my baby 34 weeks I was induced and still the same thing going on with my uterus same complications as the first time. I asked my dr and she just told me some are thicker some are thinner if it’s an issue then ask your dr not Facebook
I had a window uterus with my daughter basically a thin uterus. I ended up quickly getting pregnant quickly after that I made it to 35 weeks and had a csection. He was perfectly fine no nicu stay and healthy. It’s possible. My doctor told me that if I had given it more time it could have been ok but I had no time to heal really. He’s now about to turn 7 next month.
Jist stick to the ones ya have. Maybe adopt? The risks you wld encounter are not worth your kids losing their mum
I was told that I wouldn’t be able to have kids because my uterine lining was too thin. They said I could get pregnant but that attempting to carry full term would most likely kill me and the baby.
Did get pregnant (unintentionally)
It was a scary choice not terminating but, it was the only choice I could bring myself to make.
She’ll be 9 in October

I have the same. It means you possibly won’t be able to carry a baby to full term. I have 3 girls and would have definitely had another until I was told this. It’s way too risky to myself and another baby, my girls need me more than they need another sibling.

if you have had multiple c sections, the part of the uterus which has been cut becomes thin. it also called a “window” as well. means it’s almost transparent. when women try to have a baby after this there is a high risk for the uterine wall to break apart

Tends to be caused by a hormone imbalance, or it could be thin just after a period. Depends on your body though. If you have 3 kids, it’s probably not a serious issue. You’re fertile, just have a thin lining. No worries.

I’m confused why your doctor would not explain this to you, as it would be a question I would have asked, too! I work at a clinic and we make sure our patients understand as much as possible about what’s going on in their bodies before they leave. If they think of a question later, then we encourage them to call us so we can help! It’s better than them being left in the dark later on. Maybe find a new OB/GYN, Sis. Goodluck! Thinking of you.

Uterine lining is the lining that you shed every month as a period. You need a thick one in order for an embryo to attach to and grow a baby. I’m taking the “uterus line is thin” as this lining is currently thin and maybe that’s the issue, but there is estrogen you can take (given by a doctor) to help thicken that lining. I did IVF and that’s what was used to thicken my uterine lining to be accepting of the embryo that was transferred at a later date.

It’s dangerous, pretty much irreversible. When I wanted to do that my doctor wanted to see a counselor first to talk about my reasons and how it could affect my life. And answer any questions I might have. I ended up not doing it.

Uterine rupture, maybe…Depending on the tubal, if tubes were tied, or if they were cauterized. In my case, they were cauterized my youngest is 26 So, please speak with your doctor 
So I had an emergency C-section and 8 months later got pregnant again. My second baby was 10lb9 oz. during my non progressive labor I felt a very sharp pain that latest several seconds. And I wound up with another C-section. After delivery the doc told me that my uterus was starting to separate at the incision. So the big baby only 8 months later is probably why that happened. I was very lucky.
You would need to have a tubal reversal or do IVF to conceive, which your doctor may not recommend.

Straight up. The btches telling you not to have anymore are nothing more than that, btches.
Do listen to your doctor though. With 3 beautiful humans already, don’t run the risk of loosing your life to bring another one in. But that’s not to say the answer is never. If it can be repaired by taking a break and doing what is advised, another baby could be possible after that. But you only get one body per life, so pleas mamma, take care of it

It means you should adopt. It is not a good thing to try to.have another baby. It is better to be a mother to the children you have that take a chance of them having to grow up without a mother. Just my thoughts

To get pregnant the embryo implants in the uterine wall, when your lining is too thin there’s lower chance of this happening (less likely to conceive or carry a healthy pregnancy. Hope that helps.

I was told after number 4 (second csection) that my uterus is thin. I was told if I had another Bub I’d likely need to deliver around 35 weeks gestation, possibly be in hospital for few weeks prior to monitor for uterine rupture. That was the bad that stuck out for me but I was reassured that it was still perfectly fine to have another. It played a part in my decision to stop at 4
It’s harder for an egg to implant In a uterus with a thin lining. It’s harder for you to get pregnant and he’s telling you why, (as if you hadn’t had a tubal.)
I got told after my fifth child my uterus was long and thin. Also got told I had endometriosis and it was a surprise I had five kids successfully. I got pregnant with a six right after being told all of this. The pregnancy went fine and I had a healthy sixth child

If your doctor is not able to explain things in a way that you can understand, it’s time to find a new doctor!
Maybe your uterine is thin cause you might have delivered the babies at a young age… But its okay you can ask your gynaecologist to suggest some good medicine. It will help make your uterine line thick and prevent it from rupturing or miscarriage. Dont worry!
If the egg does not get fertilized, the lining sheds and exits the body via the vaginal canal. The uterine lining provides nourishment and sustenance for an embryo and is a necessary part of pregnancy. When the lining is thin, usually less than 7mm, the body cannot sustain an embryo and a growing fetus.
Be Blessed and happy you have the 3 children you have now?..there are things you can do to thicken your wall if your not to old but I do believe it have to go thought an IVF Doctor, that gets pretty pricey…
You should be asking these questions with your OBGyn. don’t you think? F.b. isn’t the professional quality you need.

I feel i need to say this . If ya go to a legit Obgyn. they should have been trained and have teh education from school to be able to explain . hell pull out a tablet or pop on a screen a video of what a think Uterus looks like with Morgan Freeman narrating it. . Now maybe Mom need to cut back on the Pot and stop drinking and maybe get of some meds that will help her concentrate maybe some Adderall. Maybe teh idiot ObGyn should have his medical degree taken away if they cant explain stuff . But as i watch these various questions posted in this group i cant help to wonder if they have run out of material to discuss to keep themselves relevant . like soem items are from years ago just rehashed liek top ten haunted places covered by 20 plus Youtubers . each one thinking they can make teh top ten list more exciting than the person they stole teh idea from as they honestly have no creative abilities
