Pregnancy Info HOME

I'm so glad to find this site and read all of your stories. I am 14 weeks pregnant and apparently have two large fibroids measuring 10cm each at last u/s - about 3 weeks ago. As I understand it, they are within the uterine wall. Just had an apt. with my gyn. last week and she told me to count on a c-section. That was very disappointing news, but, of course, the main objective is a healthy baby - however it comes out. Anyway, one thing I've noticed is that most of you who have been told you will need c-sections said your fibroids were really low and baby was high. I'm a bit different. The fibroids seem to start more or less to the left of and a bit above my belly button and continue down really low. I believe the reason the dr. said I'll need to c-section is becasue of the fact that the fibroids are in the lining of the uterus. Does the make sense based on what you all have read? Also, I'm already quite big. My dr. said I look like about 20 weeks -- at 14! I actually don't mind, but my husband says he's worried about what will happen when I'm about to deliver!
