I had three miscarriages and on my fourth pregnancy I have now a gorgeous girl. I had a huge fibroid shown on the ultrasound but it didn’t make any harm on the fourth pregnancy. I had lots of rest and didn’t carry anything heavy while pregnant. Good luck. xx

I had fibroids detected during an early ultrasound for my second pregnancy. I hadn’t even heard of them before that. A week later, I became very breathless and another ultrasound revealed my hormones had increased their size dramatically, putting extra pressure on my diaphragm and lungs. Lots of bed rest. A month later, my symptoms slowly decreased, and a later ultrasound revealed they had all but vanished. I’ve had two more bubs since this one without complications from fibroids, but have also lost one pregnancy too.

Hopefully you can find a great doctor who can provide you with all the information you will need, Im not sure there is anything that you can actually ‘do’ to help the pregnancy apart from take great care of yourself and try not to stress

Would love to know how you went and how things are going for you now

I truly hope that everything went well for you.

How has it all gone for you?

I hope everything went smoothly for you this time, it sounds like you have had a rough time.

How did you go with your pregnancy?

Sorry not sure about this one, but congratulations anyways

Express your concerns to the doctor ,Congrats and hope everything goes smoothly

Babies cope with a lot. I personally think it will stick or it won’t regardless of what u ingest. But congrats on the pregnancy

Good luck. See you doctor and get some good advice which will hopefully settle any anxiety you must be feeling.

congrats on your pregnancy! I’d say discuss your concerns with your gp and go from there !

Don’t have any advice for this one but I hope you are ok and all is going well. Sounds like you’ve been through a lot x

I can’t relate but congrats on pregnancy n hope it all goes well

Good luck 🙂

What is a fibroid tumor?

A fibroid tumor, also known as leiomyoma or myoma, is a mass of compacted muscle and fibrous tissue that grows on the wall (or sometimes on the outside) of the uterus. It can be as small as a pea or as large as a grapefruit. Fibroid tumors occur in 50 to 80 percent of women.

What are the symptoms of fibroids during pregnancy?
•Heavy vaginal bleeding
•Abdominal pain
•Pelvic pressure
•Frequent urination
•Constipation

Always report abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding to your doctor immediately.

Will a fibroid tumor complicate my pregnancy?

Fibroids usually develop prior to pregnancy, though many women don’t know they have one until they have an ultrasound or the fibroid is discovered during a pelvic exam. If you know prior to pregnancy that you have fibroids, ask your doctor whether their size or position could cause problems, and which symptoms to watch for.

Most women who have one or more of these noncancerous growths experience no pregnancy complications because of them. For the 10 to 30 percent of pregnant women with fibroids who do end up having complications, the most common is abdominal pain, which occasionally may be accompanied by light vaginal bleeding. The baby is rarely affected unless the bleeding is substantial.

Can a fibroid tumor harm the baby?

Probably not. Even if you do experience symptoms, they most likely won’t affect the baby. However, your risk of miscarriage and premature delivery does increase slightly if you have fibroids. They occasionally cause the baby to be in an abnormal position for delivery. They can also stall labor, or, if they’re located in or near the cervical opening, they may block the baby’s passage. All of these (rather rare) problems can increase the likelihood of cesarean delivery.

How will a doctor treat fibroid tumors during pregnancy?

Painful fibroids are usually treated with bed rest, ice packs, and — when necessary — medication. Your doctor will recommend the treatment that’s safest for you. Symptoms usually subside within a few days.

Fibroids sometimes grow larger during pregnancy, due in part to pregnancy hormones. For reasons that are not well understood, a fibroid may also get smaller during pregnancy. Your doctor may recommend ultrasound examinations to see whether your fibroid is growing or likely to cause complications.

I will keep you in my thoughts hun unfortunately I have no answers !

I’m guessing it depends on how big they are and if they grow. And do you know what kind they are?

I hope it all works out for you and you have no problems
