Pregnancy Info HOME

Oh Joker, I’m so sorry. I don’t know what to say. I just wish that there is something it can be said to make your pain at least a little less. I hope you will find strength and support that will help you heal, both physically and emotionally. I’m sure that you will find a lot of support and info on myomectomy on web pages here. Keep in touch and let us know how are you. You are in my prayers.

Joker - I am very sorry for you loss. I will look for the pregnancy after myomectomy. I would recommend getting it done as soon as you can then letting it heal a few months and trying again. If you wait too long the fibroids have a good chance of growing back. Keep us posted.

I got on to tell you all about my baby and the birth but after reading Joker's story, I just cant. Joker, I am so so sorry. I cant stop crying for you. I'll wait to tell my story till another day.

Joker hi. I just sat staring at my screen after reading your news. Its really sad. I'm so sorry. God will give you strength and you'l be alright.

Joker, I am so sorry for your loss. You are not alone and I know how you are feeling. I lost my son at 23 week too just last year and having a myomectomy next month. Your baby angel will bring lots of baby dust to you.

Hi everyone, Thank you all for your support. SKN!! Please tell us your story. I have been checking since Tuesday to see if you had posted anything. Please tell us everything. I don't know you but I am truly happy for you and your little baby boy. So please tell us we are all dying to know. Daisy Flower, I am sorry for your loss too. I always knew that I was extremly high risk because of the size and location of my fibroids..for lack of better words I was prepared at least the logical/rational/scientific part of my brain was, but the emotional side is trying to cope. Please let me know how your are doing and when you get a chance please post your story on the pregnancy after myomectomy if you don't mind, so we can help others and ourselves. I will be doing my surgery end of this year early next year. I will know a little bit more in september. I know this web page for fibroids have helpled me a lot.

Joker, You may go through my story under the login name Rubina in this thread. You'll have to move up the thread. After your m/c myomectomy is not recommended till next three months untill fibroids shrink a lot. It was hard to cope emotionally and stand back to normal life. Things looked different, seeing pregnant women was difficult, same as looking at babies. But time is the ultimate cure. By now I am composed and back to normal state. I know you will get back to your self but only with time and emotional support of your family. Hope you will keep doing and be strong at this time. You can send me a mail privately if you like.

Simon Michael was born at 12:36 pm, Monday, July 17th. He weighed 7 pounds 15 ounces and is 19 1/2 inches long. We got to the hospital at 8 am and were supposed to go to surgery at 10, but because of an emergency we were bumped until 12:00. When they finally came to get me to go to the OR I started freaking out a little bit. I was afraid I would have to ask for something for anxiety, but after they got the spinal block in and I laid down for a few minutes I relaxed. I think the demerol they put in with the spinal helped a little too. It took about 5 or 5 six minutes for them to cut me open and get him out. The most I felt was a huge push on my stomach, like someone was standing on me but it only lasted for a few seconds. When they pulled his head out he immediately started crying, all gurgly like. And of course I started crying too...Dad didnt cry though, I think he was in a little bit of shock. I got 16 staples to close me up and then back to the recovery room where I finally got to hold him. After 30 or 45 minutes the nurse came in and had us start trying to breast feed. Simon is a pro! He latched right on and started sucking. The pain contraol was great for the first 24 hours, because of the demerol. By the next day I was asking for pain pills every 4 hours, but it was manageable. We got to come home on day 3 and I have to say I am sleeping much better than I thought I would. Oh yeah... Doc said my uterus is in great shape, dispite the fibroids and scar tissue and I have the go ahead to have another baby. In a few years of course! I got the bikini cut after all, so thats good too. It's like Christmas every time I pick him up. I forget how wonderful it was from the last time I picked him up.

Skn331, Congratulations !!!! Your story is really conforting since I will have to go through same thing and it is so good to hear that you both are doing good and that everything went so smoothly. Keep us posted.

Hi SKN, a very big congratulations to u. Ur story has been quite an encouragement all the way thru. I was thinking of the name Sean Michael myself! If he's a boy :-) Goodluck to you!!!!!.

Congrats Skn! I know you have been waiting along time for this and I am very happy for you. Enjoy bonding with your son!

Congrats skn, what an inspiration. I am 13wks & 2days w/1 6.5 fibroid on the interior wall of uterus. My uterus is measuring 14wks. Baby is healthy & kicking! All day yesterday was severe pain on my left side, then all across my abdomen, no sleep, including today but not as bad. I have no bleeding, though. Dr says it's round ligament-I'm not sure. Anyone have any ideas-this is stressing me so! When I got home, I saw a clear discharge 2nite. Don't know if the fibroid is degenerating, or it's the round ligament, which I don't know much about. I told the dr to check for bladder infection-having trouble in that area as far as lack of flow-I'll know thursday. I am scared straight. Do I need to find a specialist? I haven't been told I'm high risk yet, I have another US in 2wks. Any suggestions?

Hi goldilocks, I hope you are doing better. I was fortunate to have only two episodes of fibroid pain. I didn't see any specialist I only had my OB. She told me right away that fibroids can cause pain and when I first complained she explained that round ligament hurts more with movement, where fibroid pain is not influenced by movement.I did take some ibuprofen for pain. IB is not recomended in pregnancy, but she said it is OK until third trimester. I was lucky and it helped both times. Good Luck

Thanks everyone for the congratulations. Goldilocks, I'd say what you have is round ligament pain. I had that too ( I think every first time mom does at least a bit) and it sounds just like you are experiencing. I even went in to L&D because it hurt so bad I thought it was my appendix. They assured me everything was fine, it was only round ligament pain. ONLY!? Yes, it does hurt. The pain I had from my fibroids was a bit different than that, more crampy in nature.. like bad period cramps. Good luck with your pregnancy and keep us updated an how you do. Lelaini, how are you doing? Joker, how are you doing?

Hi skn331, How is baby doing? Do you get any sleep? Sleep deprivation is what I'm afraid the most. I'm fine thanks for asking. I have U/S Friday to see if the position of the fibroid changed. I hope they will tel me how big is the baby. I'm almost 33 weeks now and I have feeling that 38 weeks will be here in notime. I still have some shopping to do. Leilani

Hi :) The baby is doing great. He is such a good baby. I get some sleep, not alot though. Last night I went to bed at 8:30 and left the baby with dad. They came to wake me up for feedings, but other than that they stayed downstairs. It was very nice. AND the baby let us sleep for 4 hours in a row last night as well. That was a first. I had a minor meltdown yesterday after I went to my OB for PPD. He gave me wellbutrin to take and when I got home I took it and then called the pediatrician to see what they thought about the drug and breastfeeding. The nirse was HORRIBLE. She said absolutely I couldnt take it, I needed to stop breastfeeding immediately since I already took one dose and when I started crying all she had to say was "Well your baby had 2 weeks of breastmilk, thats more then some." I ended up hanging up on her because I couldnt stop crying. She eventually called me back and said she had talked to someone else and that one dose wouldnt hurt the baby to keep breastfeeding and if I switched to Zoloft that I could breastfeed safely. So I called my OB back, told him what she said and he switched the prescription. I know you guys dont need to hear that story, But that mean old nurse pissed me off and I wanted to share. Lelaini, let us know about the U/s on Friday. They were right on about Simon's size. You're getting so close! You'll have to come over to the infant care forum. Are you going to breastfeed?
