I did not have any problems with becoming pregnant nor with labor and delivery (my babies were 8 lbs12 oz and 9 lb.) I'm sure there are probably some variables to be considered but this really shouldn't cause any major problems for you. Now that your appointment for this year is past you may not want to wait until next year to speak with your doctor about these questions. I suggest that you call his office and speak with one of the nurses. They will consult with the doctor on your behalf and either the nurse or the doctor will call you back with the answers. Since this is not an "emergency" situation it may be a day or two before you get your answers. It has been my understanding that a tilted uterus is a pretty common thing. Best to ya!
