I have fibroids as well, and my dr said it’s completely normal for women over 30 to have them. They are not harmful to your unborn baby, and won’t cause a miscarriage. The only issue is when you give birth.. if they are low near your cervix they can block the baby trying to come down the birth canal! Talk to your dr about it.
i don’t know.
Yes they can, however lots of women with fibroids have full term pg
They can however in 15% of cases causes pain and or bleeding
(even more if they are larger and if you have more then 2.)
This puts your uterus in a stimulatied situation that can push u into preterm labor.
Tips
Get a Doctor who has dealt with fibroids during pregnacy
Drink lots of water
Stay off your feet when posible
follow the growth of the fibroids
when you get pain take days offff and rest and take indomethecin (stop at 30 weeks) for pain control
Good luck and God Bless
I’ve lived all of my adult life with a large fibroid. It was 11 cm at it’s largest. I had 2 healthy pregnancies while I had the tumor, but about 12 weeks into my 3rd pregnancy the fibroid started to grow and possibly terminated the pregnancy. They can’t say for sure the tumor was the direct cause of the miscarriage, but it seems to be the reason. I had the fibroid surgically removed (laparotomy)about a month after the miscarriage, and about six months later, I got pregnant again. It looks like a good, healthy pregnancy so far.
