Pregnancy Info HOME

I'm 13 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 (see my previous entry above). My fibroid was 5 cm in diameter before I even got pregnant and grew up to about 11cm in diameter during my first pregnancy. While it caused some extra discomfort and a few days of extreme pain, I delivered a healthy baby, full term and a good weight. The fibroid shrunk after delivery. Second time around the fibroid has grown again - so what? Baby is healthy and I know what to expect. Don't let doctors fill you with doom and gloom. Having done a lot of research during my first pregnancy I know that fibroids are very common and pregnancy is rarely compromised by fibroids. Although it does to a certain extent depend on what sort of fibroid you have (inside the uterus, within the wall of the uterus or attached to the outside). If you can, do some research (the internet is great) and find out as much as you can so you know what your doctor is talking about.
