I don't now what a separated uterus is, but what a scary time for you!  Between the growing baby and the tumor I can bet you would be having some stretching pains.

Sending hugs your way.

Hey Girl
      Good to hear back from you!  I know the symptoms are a B1tch but with that 12cm alien and being pregnant, seems to me you had a pretty long run withouut symptoms from your rather large cyst!  It's a good thing!  Always always always inform your surgeon of pres-urgery symptoms, the short route in the US is to leave a request for his/her nurse to call you.  They call back sooner and although they cannot prescribe medication, they can be certain your syptoms are not undocumented.  If you tell the Nurse you would like a caal-back from the Doc., you make certain they have been briefed on the new info,  This one is a no-brainer Gem.  Take care of you so you can take care of that little one!  If this admonition iritates you, good to go, means you already know what I have advised and are way ahead of me.  Good to go!  MV
