Pregnancy Info HOME

Thank you all for these posts. You have really helped me. I thought I'd share my story and ask some questions. 2 years ago my GP found a mass. Fibroids are common in my family so I was pretty sure that is what would be found. It took 5 months to get an US for diagnosis, and my DH was freaking out, so during those 5 months, I found an OB/Gyn. He confirmed through a physical exam that it was most likely a fibroid. He let one woman keep her fibroid and she died of cancer, so he wants everyone with fibroids to get hysterectomies. He was so mean and had no bedside manner. I know he can't do this, but it really seemed he was going to reach in there and pull out my uterus! I told him we wanted kids and he said we wouldn't be able to, but we should try right then and there or it would never work! The only good thing he did was get my US moved up to the next day. The US showed an 8 cm fibroid in the wall of my uterus. I had no symptoms other than a belly bulge. I looked like I was just starting to show no matter how much weight I lost. We found another OB/Gyn. He said not to do anything since I had no symptoms and we should TTC when we were ready, no rush. He's great! Now I'm just about 7 weeks pregnant. The fibroid is now 11 cm and I'm spotting all the time. Has anyone else experienced this? Was your outcome ok? Also, I can't fit into my pants. Before I got pregnant my uterus was the size of 15 weeks. Now I look very pregnant. Has anyone else gone through this? Should I get maternity pants? Thanks all for your help.
