Pregnancy Info HOME

Christa,
Fibroids are not common, but happen at least that is what I was told by my doctor. Some like the hormones during pregnancy. Hence the grow drastically especially in early pregnancy. I am now in my 15 week and have had 3 major episodes of bad pain, constipation, bleeding (no more than a little), the pain was horrendous to say the least. They gave me vicodin to use sparingly. HOwever during my episdoes I also got really stomach sick and couldn't keep food down or want to eat. So i didn't take but one vicodin that stayed down. I have read pain medication is not absorbed by the baby which is good, but not to be taken to the point of becoming addicted.
Anyway that being said I have read that people have successful pregnancies with fibroids and I have read the opposite, but just take it easy. i was put on bed rest due to how much pain I was in and I had small tear. I was just semi released! However, I still can't do any lifting, no sex, no exericising, just take it easy. If your in that much pain the best thing to do is rest its really the only thing I felt like doing. My largest fib. was pushing against my rectum so sitting was painful! It feels like you can never get comfortable to especially during sleepy time! Just try and relax my longest episode lasted 6 days. Then poof gone. I still have pain, but my episodes are flare ups. My doctor can't explain it. Just try and stay positive and know your not crazy and your not the only one out there with this!!!
