The uterus is normally in a straight vertical position. Some women have a tipped or tilted uterus, in which the uterus is tipped backwards toward the back of the pelvis.
Dear Ms Ultrasound,
I just had a transvaginal ultrasound and although everything appeared normal...cervix closed, uterus six week size, sac size 6 weeks, etc., there was no fetal heartbeat. As the doctor put it, "the uterus is tipped way back there.
