Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi ladies. My heart and prayer goes to all that are dealing with fibroids in pregnancy. I too had fibroids during pregnancy that grew. I gave birth at 35 weeks because my doctors say I just ran out of room. I am 4ft 11in and had several fibroids that grew (incluidng one that grew to 8cm and another to 6cm). I had lots of pain from fibroid degeneration around 14/15 weeks which lasted for 14 days. Thankfully, degeneration pain does get better ladies! My baby did fine at birth needing no extra help and received a 9 on her apgar score. I went on partial bedrest on my own around 28 weeks. I didn't believe what doctors were saying about working out when you have fibroids. I believe every woman knows their body the best and why risk your pregnancy especially if you have made it so far! MCs are horrible and late MCs are even worse! My best advice for women with fibroids during pregnancy is take lots of rest!!! Drink lots of water so that you are hydrated because fibroids can cause contractions of the uterus (i started contracting at 30 weeks). And most importantly think positive and talk to people about your fears. Feel free to email me (maryelisiaa@yahoo.com) if you have any questions. I know how hard it is to have fibroids. This is my first child, and I know I will need to get rid of the fibroids for my next chlld. Thankfully my baby is so healthy, today she is 11 lb at 2 months. :)
