Pregnancy Info HOME

Hello, it’s me Sylvia. I’d like to update that I’m 18 wks and doing fine. I did have the myomectomy and they took out 8 fibroids. I was scared that I couldn’t get pregnant, but I was lucky enough to do so. I do say that your periods do get a lot lighter as if you were taking the pill. My surgery was like a c-section, but I was out for the count. I do have a scar, but it’s in the bikini line. You can’t see it unless you shave or wax everything downstairs. This time around, I did not go through any pelvic pain like the last pregnancy with my son (may God bless his little soul in heaven). The only pains I get now are lower back pain and in my hips. At the time, for the pain, they gave me Tylenol with codeine. I was out of work for 2 weeks. I know the pain that you are feeling when they degenerate. I felt better within 10 days. I talked to my doctor and she told me that she couldn’t see why I could deliver my baby vaginal. If complications do occur, like if I don’t dilate or the baby’s heartbeat or blood pressure drops, then I could be going into having a c-section. At least I’ll know how the recovery will be. The first 4-5 days, it’s a witch to get out of bed. I suggest turning and lying on your side and pushing yourself up with your arms. DO NOT TRY TO USE YOUR STOMACH MUSCLES and try to sit up from the lying position. After that walking around for me wasn’t that bad. My doctor told me not to baby myself. Try to walk around little by little and not to be laying or sitting down for the whole 8 wks I was out. I know all this information that is out there about fibroids and it says that they don’t cause miscarriages and still births, but you have to look carefully. I know it get tiring, but I did find some info after I lost my son to stay off my feet and relax. It also mention that it was a possibly to miscarry. Anything can happen, as you see with me, I lost my son at 21 wks. He was considered a still born, not a miscarried. I’m not trying to scar anyone, but do be careful anything can happen. I’m still very scared now, but enjoy my pregnancy because I can feel my baby move. With my previous pregnancy with the fibroids, I couldn’t tell if my baby was moving or the fibroids were. I just pray to God to let me deliver a healthy baby for my husband and I to give lots of love too!!
