Fibroid tumors of the uterus, especially when located on the back wall of the uterus, can also weight down a previously anteflexed uterus, causing it to angle backwards. While both fibroids and endometriosis are relatively common conditions, they can be associated with infertility in severe cases. Still, they rarely affect the angle of the uterus. Except for these highly unusual situations, we now know there is no infertility risk associated with a tilted uterus. When a woman with a tilted uterus becomes pregnant, her uterus moves forward naturally, and by the fourteenth week of pregnancy all uteruses are anteflexed.
Delivery is completely unrelated to the angle of the uterus.
Occasionally a woman with a tilted uterus will feel more rectal pressure during the earliest weeks of pregnancy. But there is no added risk of miscarriage or bleeding related to uterine retroflexion.
