Hi there
I too have been suffering from fibroids so much so I was told I may not be able to have children haha, My daughter will turn 10 months day after tomorrow.We beat the odds. I had no real problems from them during pregnancy I was however considered high risk so you may need to see a high risk OBGYN to care for you during your pregnancy.She was wonderful , answered all my concerns and she did a lot of ultrasounds . I had one large one that may have contributed to my daughter being breech and me having to have a c-section. I don’t want to frighten you but there are several complications that could occur during pregnancy so see a specialist and trust your gut, I switched doctors at around 5 months because my first doctor was so arrogant in not addressing my concerns . If you feel your doctor does not give you the answers you need and make you feel safe and comfortable you have every right to switch to one that will. Delivery with fibroids can be dangerous because they can weaken the uterine wall causing rupture. So you should definitely be prepared to have a C-section if necessary. In the end the only thing that matters is you and your childs safety not how they arrive in the world just that you are OK.
Take Care and I hope I helped some
Good Luck with the Pregnancy.
oh ps with the fibroids my doctor reccomends that I wait 1 year until I try again to get pregnant I have my fibroids monitored every 6 months. But sometimes pregnancy can kill them
by cutting off the blood supply .
The best person to answer your question is your gynae.
I know from experience of a relative that she had the fibroids and when she delivered by c-section they removed what they could but read these sites:

BOTTOM LINE as my doc. advised me:-
Do not over exert yourself
Effect of fibroids on the baby will depend on where the fibroids are in relation to the baby & the growth of the fibroids.
Look out for cramping pains.
Fibroids can cause pre-mature contractions, there are medications for this.
Just be aware of yourself and be alert to pain.
Keep cool !
These are questions you shhould be asking your doctor about.
These are questions you should ask your dr., not this forum.
your pregnancy can be safe but a little risky, you must pay attention to your body, keep all your prenatal appt., and consider getting these remove after you deliver or even when you deliver which may be by cesarean section depending on the position of both the baby and the fibroid.take it easy and one day at a time,good luck!
