Hi, I am 33 yrs old and 22 weeks pregnant. I have been told that I have multiple fibroids and my uterus is as big as a 27 weeks. My most recent u/s showed 3 large fibroids measuring 10cm each as well as many more smaller ones. 2 of those large ones are on either side of my cervix and are blocking babys passage out. Dr says I have to have very bloody C and will loose a lot of blood, need a blood transfusion and maybe scar my uterus so much that I cant have another baby OR if I am bleeding too much they may just do a hysterectomy. I am terrified of both of these things! This is my first baby which I am exctatic about and I always planned on having 3 or 4 babes. My Dr is not a specialist so I worry about his ability to do this the best possible way. I would prefer not to mess with the fibroids at all and try to shrink them after the birth with drugs but they say one of the fibroids may be in the way of the C-section so they may have to cut through it. I could use any advice on speciliasts or similar experiences right now. I wish the best for all of you!
