The uterus is typically positioned in one of three ways: anteverted (tilted forward), retroverted (tilted backward), or mid-positioned (horizontal). All three positions are considered normal and do not affect fertility—there is no need for excessive concern. However, conception may be slightly more challenging in women with a retroverted uterus. If you are planning to conceive, it is recommended to begin taking oral folic acid supplements three months prior to conception to help prevent fetal cardiovascular malformations. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, along with regular moderate exercise, can strengthen your overall health and support a healthy pregnancy.
