We offer consensus recommendations for the antepartum management of the uterus transplant pregnancy based on our experience at 3 US centers. Patient access to accurate information is important to manage expectations and make informed decisions. Unique aspects of medical management include monitoring tacrolimus levels and performing cervical biopsies for rejection. Low-dose aspirin for preeclampsia is routinely used. Vigilant screening for gestational diabetes and preeclampsia allows for the prompt diagnosis and treatment of these common complications. We aim to deliver patients at 37 to 38 weeks by cesarean section. Shared decision making dominates whether to consider future pregnancies and timing of hysterectomy.
